Megyn Kelly got a little personal about her politics in an interview with Fox colleague Alan Colmes tonight, given how many have publicly speculated about what she believes in.
Kelly said, “I am not an ideologue. I always laugh because when I was coming up the ranks at Fox News, the left thought I was always in the tank for the Republicans because they always see you through a certain prism.”
And because of, well, everything that happened in the past year, there are a lot of people assuming Kelly is “in the tank for, you know, the Never Trumpers or for the liberals.”
But Kelly made it clear that she’s not in the tank for anyone:
“I have no political ideology. I’m a soulless lawyer at heart. I can see both sides of any argument. I’m willing to be persuaded, but we have to stay open-minded.”

Anyone who watches her program regularly knows she is telling the truth. She is tough on all sides. She brought down Donna Brazile with tough questioning. She asked tough questions of all the GOP primary candidates in the debate, not just Trump. She’s as equal opportunity as it gets. Her only bias is being critical of everybody and looking for everybody’s vulnerabilities and weak spots.
Is she really in 4th place behind Tucker? That’s great news if true as his show was only on for 2 weeks now. Where did you find current fox ratings?
She brought up the very issues that ended up being Trump’s biggest vulnerability in the general election. It would have been dereliction of journalistic duty to ignore what Trump was obviously going to face from the media and Hillary in the general election. The point of the primary is to vet our candidates. It isn’t journalism to ignore the flaws in the candidates and give them a free ride.
I was on some TV blog which showed Fox vs CNN and showed all the totals for FOX programs. She was trailing Bill, Sean and Tucker and barely ahead of Beir and the 5. It was pretty pathetic if you are a manager.
Thank God she brought out those facts about Trump in the debate. She was the canary in the coal mine warning us of the very thing that almost lost Trump the election, his history of comments about women. The primary voters deserved to know what would be brought up in the general election. And from Trump’s perspective his only chance of dealing with the problem was for it to come out early enough for him to figure out how to defend against it. Arguing that the vulnerabilities about a candidate you like be suppressed during the primary is utterly wrongheaded and shortsighted.

Looks like some of BOR’s audience switches to Maddow when MeAgain is on, then tune back for Hannity!
I was addressing her bias against Trump, not her program overall. MK attempted to act objective during the campaign, but her loathing for Donald Trump oozed out of her from every pore.
So you’re saying her intent was to inoculate Trump against his crass comments regarding women? Or, that she’s a self serving opportunist that accidentally did Trump a favor?
Megyn is a feminist and therefore, a leftist. She was giddy when Obama won and melancholy when Bush won. I watched her closely this time for signs of disappointment at Hillary’s loss and she has learned to hide her feelings finally.
