Wrong. You people don’t understand Megyn Kelly. She asks the toughest question possible of any person she’s interviewing. In the next segment she asked Christie why should illegals get to sneak over the border and have a baby who gets instant citizenship.

Too many of you Kelly-bashers don’t understand what a journalist is. They’re not supposed to be there to be a propagandist for your side.

Don’t you think a journalist needs to publish something to earn that moniker? What has Kelly ever written?

Ah, but when "asking the toughest question possible" is extended to justify asking tough questions containing out-of-context quotes and based on false premises intended to deceive, then the journalist is, in fact, being a propagandist.

I have no problem with Kelly asking tough questions, as long as they are fair and not intended to deceive. But the debate question of Trump painted him as a misogynist, when the truth is clearly that he is an equal-opportunity jerk who is rude and belligerent to anyone who attacks him, irrespective of their gender. In fact, anyone who has observed him for any length of time would probably tell you that he generally treats women better than he treats men.

Considering that calling a person a racist or a misogynist is just about the most vicious thing you can do to a person's reputation in this day and age, and considering that this behavior was timed when 24 million people were watching, I thought that Kelly's dishonest question was one of the most selfish and despicable things I've ever seen a journalist do.
