  • Megyn Kelly: Donald Trump Doesn’t Want Her Moderating Upcoming Republican Presidential Debate

    Megyn Kelly of Fox’s The Kelly File is set to moderate the upcoming Republican presidential debate alongside Chris Wallace and Bret Baier on January 28 in Iowa.

    Donald Trump is not in favor of this. He tweeted out his opposition to Megyn Kelly’s place as one of the moderators earlier on Saturday–just a couple of hours ago.

    Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly have been at odds with one another since August when Megyn Kelly confronted Trump about comments he’d made against women in the past–calling them “fat pigs” and “slobs.”

    Not long afterward, during a conversation with Don Lemon on CNN, Donald Trump said Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes” and “blood coming out of her whatever” which no doubt insinuated he was referring to her menstrual cycle.

    Following his continued bashing of Megyn Kelly, Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes came to her defense, calling Donald Trump’s actions “unacceptable.”

    Trump later said only a “deviant” would think he was talking about Megyn Kelly’s menstrual cycle. Even though he has toned down his talk to and regarding Kelly a bit, he still gets in digs whenever and wherever he can, and retweets anyone who talks negatively about Megyn Kelly or her show.

    Clearly Donald Trump fears Megyn Kelly to some degree or he wouldn’t have a problem with her serving as one of the moderators for next Thursday night’s debate.

    What do you think Donald Trump fears Megyn Kelly will ask that already has him on the defensive?

  • Greta Van Susteren And Bret Baier Defend “Softball” Hillary Clinton Interview

    A few days ago, Hillary Clinton was interviewed on Fox News by Greta Van Susteren and Bret Baier. Many viewers were expecting a half hour of painful questions and accusations. After all, Van Susteren is the Fox News host who slammed comedian Jon Stewart, grilled congressional candidate Mike Dickinson, and came head to head with fellow Fox News anchor Erick Erickson.

    What happened instead? Clinton said what she had to say, while the hosts asked informative questions.

    Howard Kurtz of Fox described the interview as “brisk and businesslike, sober and substantive, almost like a lightning-round quiz on foreign and domestic issues.” He added that “Hillary Clinton didn’t filibuster, so Bret Baier and Greta Van Susteren didn’t have to interrupt.” They covered issues from Benghazi to NSA surveillance, in addition to the contents Clinton’s latest book, Hard Choices.

    To watch the interview yourself, see the following video:

    Conservatives across Twitter were none too pleased with the interview. Some took to social media to express yearning for the interview they wanted and frustration for the one they saw. Although many simply saved their criticism for the former secretary of state, and spared Greta Van Susteren, Bret Baier, and Fox News.

    In response to this wave of criticism, both Van Susteren and Baier have defended their segment, saying that they weren’t trying to pick a fight with Hillary Clinton. However, according to Mediaite, both of them expected this kind of reaction. “The criticism was going to come no matter what,” Baier explained.

    “There’s not always going to be this, ‘Dude that was two years ago’ moment,” Beier further conceded about discussing Benghazi with Clinton, but he went on to say. “I don’t think in interviews, trying to get news, that somebody should plan to try to get somebody to that point.”

    As far as Greta Van Susteren was concerned: “That’s a little bit, almost, entertainment. “There was no sort of grand strategy, to try to get a gotcha. It was to try to get information for the viewers.”
