After a tumultuous week that included calls for boycotts, advertisers dropping out, and a leaked recording of a pre-interview phone call, Megan Kelly’s 17-minute special on Alex Jones finally aired. Kelly was more than critical during her questioning of the radio host and ...read more

Fox News is many things, but “Fair and Balanced” has never been one of them. I used to find it bewildering that a cable news channel that so obviously plays the role of Republican mouthpiece had the gall to pretend to be unbiased - and that viewers bought it. Eventually I ...read more

Tough luck for anyone who was hoping to feel satisfied after watching Megyn Kelly’s much anticipated interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The roughly 10 minute discussion was featured on the debut episode of NBC’s new program, Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly. While she ...read more

In an interview with Megyn Kelly for NBC News, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to pull some shit, as the kids say, by suggesting that Russia is being framed for the hacking of 2016 election by American hackers: "Hackers can be anywhere. They can be in Russia, in ...read more

This is really more of an aside to a couple of previous pieces that ran down NBC's woes in terms of its roll-out of the shiny new toy it's obsessing over, Megyn Kelly. But it's information that, while not surprising in the least, deserves to be seen far and wide so people can ...read more

Well, I hate to say I told you so, but, this is NBC we're talking about. A couple of days ago I posted a piece in our members' section detailing how NBC was already screwing up the roll-out of its shiny new toy, Megyn Kelly. Since the Peacock never met a talent transition that it ...read more

Stop me if you've heard this one before, but NBC is about to royally fuck up an on-air talent transition, screwing over marquee names, angering its audience, and instantly tainting the new face it paid a lot of money to see on its programming.... To continue reading this article, ...read more

So by now it's known by pretty much everyone everywhere that Megyn Kelly will be leaving Fox News and heading to, by any measure, greener pastures at NBC. Kelly is a bonafide star, certainly, so there's no doubt that her departure is bad news for Fox -- despite the network's ...read more

In response to Megyn Kelly's tough questioning of Donald Trump's misogyny, the Trump campaign waged a nasty war against the Fox News host. It was apparently so bad that a Fox executive had to go to extreme lengths to try to convince the Trump campaign that they were actually ...read more

The Associated Press obtained an advanced copy of Megyn Kelly's upcoming memoir, "Settle for More," and it may prove that Donald Trump will be the most corrupt president in modern history.  The reporter's insight and behind the scenes information she reveals are striking. She ...read more

Newt Gingrich, the family values Republican who cheated on his cancer ridden wife, went on Megyn Kelly's show last night to accuse the Fox host of being "fascinated by sex" and not interested in "the issues".   Apparently taking cues from his candidate's rapidly imploding ...read more

Judging by the size of his Vienna sausage-like fingers, and despite his oh-so-presidential public protestations, it's likely that deep-throating Donald Trump is an act that doesn't require a whole lot of effort. This is good news for Sean Hannity, because tonight he's proven once ...read more

It's the morning after Fox News held what has to be an unprecedented Republican primary debate that was missing the party's frontrunner, and you're going to hear a lot of analysis today making the cute claim that Donald Trump won the debate simply by virtue of the shadow his ...read more

Just when you thought the 2016 Republican presidential campaign couldn't get any more disgusting than it's already gotten... sorry, nobody thought that. But still, the latest move by a group of pro-Ted Cruz mega-donors should add at least a little bit more throw-up to the bile ...read more

You don't have to like it, but until now, the feud between Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump and Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has consisted entirely of people doing their jobs. Fox News broke that pattern Tuesday, and not only justified Donald Trump's decision to ...read more

The roiling feud between Donald Trump and Fox News is roiling a little bit harder today over National Review editor Rich Lowry's comment that Carly Fiorina "cut (Donald Trump's) balls off with the precision of a surgeon" at last week's debate. The remark, made on Wednesday ...read more

For those of us with basic reading and writing skills, the difference between 'Megyn' and 'Megan' is immediately noticeable. While phonetically they sound the same - the different spelling is, well, pretty obvious. Not so much for fans of Donald Trump and Fox News, who have ...read more

Remember back when insulting Megyn Kelly was going to be the nail that finally sealed Donald Trump's titanium coffin? Things didn't quite work out that way, even after people widely assumed that Trump was chalking up Kelly's tough questioning to a visit from her Aunt Flo. Now, ...read more

Last night Donald Trump went on another of his thin-skinned, juvenile Twitter rants against Megyn Kelly, calling her a "waste of an hour on Fox" and retweeting somebody who called her a bimbo. I wrote something about it here and explained how startling it was that legendarily ...read more

(Photo: Seth Wenig/AP) The word "exclusive" is one of those things that probably once meant something in television news. Now, though, all it really means is that a TV network or station is doing a very specific thing at a very specific point in time in a very specific way that ...read more

Thanks to Donald Trump and Trump-fueled ridiculousness like Ted Cruz's not-machine-gun "machine gun bacon," not much attention is being paid to the second-biggest mouth in the Republican primary field. If Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) has any luck at all, no one at this ...read more

Just reading the headline you'd think that it was going to be one of those two-box cable news debates where no matter who won, we lost -- where both of the participants were so utterly insufferable that everybody was going to be wrong and nobody would be worth listening to. Yet, ...read more

South Carolina made some late-to-the-party history Friday by finally removing the Confederate flag from the grounds of the state capitol, spurred on by the massacre of nine black parishioners by a racist, terrorist mass murderer. Unfortunately, there are some holdouts who ...read more

Let's try a little experiment. I want you to imagine that you're the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and someone asks you one or all of the following questions: "How do you respond to Pat O'Brien's call for you to resign?" "How do you respond to ...read more

In case you're still on the Megyn Kelley superfan bandwagon following her not-so-challenging interview with Dick Cheney, you might want to take a look at this video. Today on Fox News Channel during a segment about the ISIS beheading of journalist James Foley, the producers of ...read more

Under the radar of the huge national and international news this week, acceptable levels of public racism got a boost from Fox News and their latest black people-demonizing hero, former NJ 12 reporter Sean Bergin. Bergin got himself suspended and demoted from New Jersey 12 for ...read more

Dinesh D'Souza is many things, but for our purposes here it suffices to say that he's an immigrant and a lawbreaker. Which is why it's deliciously ironic that Fox News would give him a platform on The Kelly File two months before his sentencing for campaign finance fraud to ...read more

Glenn Beck has long been a fringe figure on the right, which as difficult as it is to do these days, is saying something. But in a weird way I've always respected Beck's occasional unpredictability with regard to certain issues like gay marriage, as well as his talent as an ...read more

As Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) ably demonstrated, just because you don't say "black" doesn't mean we can't hear it. On Tuesday night's The Kelly File, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and host Megyn Kelly artfully avoided the word "black," while expanding Ryan's criticism of the black community ...read more

On Friday, President Obama signed a law that would block Hamid Aboutalebi from entering the U.S, as Iran's ambassador to the United Nations. Shockingly, Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly told a huge lie of omission (several, really) when she reported on the President's signing ...read more

Recent pro-vaccine convert and co-host of ABC's The View Jenny McCarthy has taken a long, well-deserved beating in these pages for her dangerous campaign of misinformation about vaccines, but if you needed further proof of just how disconnected McCarthy is from reality, check ...read more

It's Monday morning, so you know the drill. Time to get back to work. But take heart: the next few weeks should provide ample room for slacking off. Unless you're me, of course. Here's some crap for you to read. 1. Supplying Demands If you figured the recent budget deal in the ...read more

If you've ever watched Fox News and thought to yourself, "Wow, Roger Ailes must be a sociopath or something," now you've got your confirmation. Interestingly enough, it's not coming from some tenuously sourced, barely newsworthy piece of bullshit reactionary agitprop splashed ...read more
