  • Megyn Kelly Slams Donald Trump’s Insult of CNN Reporter

    Megyn Kelly stood up for Sara Murray–a reporter on rival network CNN–this week after Donald Trump insulted her in a conversation with Chris Cuomo.

    It goes without saying that Megyn Kelly knows what it feels like to be on the receiving end of one of Donald Trump’s disses.

    While appearing on CNN’s New Day, Donald Trump complained about Sarah Murray to Cuomo.

    “Sara Murray didn’t report [his huge crowds] very well, because she never flips the camera to show the lines,” Trump began.

    “I think she’s absolutely terrible,” he added. “Either she’s a very unemotional person or she’s not a very good reporter, one or the other.”

    “I don’t know she’s incompetent or doesn’t like me or maybe she’s given instructions from up above,” Donald Trump continued. “There’s gotta be an agenda someplace at CNN.”

    Megyn Kelly–who looked into Sara Murray’s coverage of Donald Trump–says Murray routinely noted the sizes of the crowds at Trump’s events. In fact, she opened one story saying, “Donald Trump knows how to rally a crowd.”

    “The problem,” Megyn Kelly said, “is that unless you say it just the way he wants you to say it, you get hit.”

    It’s just that “some networks give him an unfettered arena in which to assault the press, which helps with some voters who don’t like reporters or the media,” she added.

    There’s no question that Megyn Kelly is on to Donald Trump. If he somehow wins the Republican nomination, she will likely follow him throughout the remainder of his campaign–picking up on every minute detail.

    Some might say Megyn Kelly and Donald Trump got off on the wrong foot at the first Republican debate. Others recognize Trump insulted the wrong woman.

    Do you foresee Sarah Murray and Megyn Kelly joining forces one day soon–if for nothing more than the sole purpose of aggravating Donald Trump?

  • George Zimmerman Sits Down In First TV Interview

    George Zimmerman, the Florida man who was found innocent of murdering 17 year old Trayvon Martin, sat down with CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Monday, on the network’s morning show New Day, and he discussed a slew of topics, including his life after the trial and what his future plans will be.

    Although Zimmerman initially believed that his life would go back to normal after the trial ended, he said that hasn’t been the case and he fears for his life all the time.

    “I have a lot of people saying that, you know, they guarantee that they’re going to kill me and I’ll never be a free man,” he said.

    The 30 year old also said that he doesn’t feel guilty about what happened, because if he didn’t shoot Martin, he would have been dead. “In my mind between God and me…I know that if I did not act the way I acted, I would not be here,” he said in a separate interview with Univision.

    “When you hit your head repeatedly against the concrete, you have a broken nose, eyes full of blood and tears, you’re not in the position to do much.”

    It’s safe to assume that many people thought that Zimmerman would do whatever it took to stay out of the media since being acquitted, but that hasn’t been the case at all, because just within the last few months, he’s had two run-ins with the police, involving his ex-wife Shelly Zimmerman and his current girlfriend.

    But the former neighborhood watchmen said despite all of that, he still wants to lead a life that’s low-key. “Honestly, I [would] love to live a calm life without being in the press,” he admitted. “I’d like to be [viewed as] any American citizen, to [get] a ticket for going at high speed or having an argument with his wife, if the police come and not have everyone aware. But that, as I said, that’s my life and I do not understand why that is. But I’m living my life as I have always lived.”

  • Dennis Rodman Has Angry Interview With CNN’s Chris Cuomo

    Former NBA player Dennis Rodman strongly rebuffed claims that his trip, to North Korea Tuesday was political, amidst an emotional torrent.

    Rodman, along with 10 other former NBA players, were in North Korea to play in an exhibition basketball game against a North Korean basketball team. The game will be played Wednesday and coincides with the birthday of the country’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.

    The CNN interview, aired via satellite, turned out to be quite interesting when Rodman was asked whether the trip was political. Rodman was surrounded by the former players during the interview and the point he seemed to be making was that the trip was purely for the purpose of basket diplomacy. “One day, one day this door is going to open because of these 10 guys here,” he told Chris Cuomo, CNN reporter.

    But things got emotional when Cuomo asked Rodman whether he would defend Kenneth Bae, an American, who is being held by the government for unknown reasons.

    “Do you understand what he did?” an agitated Rodman asked Cuomo. “You tell me! You tell me! Why is he held captive?”

    Rodman then added by saying that it wasn’t his business to know what Bae did. All he cared about was that he and the former NBA players had “dared” to go to North Korea.

    The heated interview seemed to make the other players surrounding Rodman uncomfortable. One of the players, Charles Smith tried to cool down tensions by saying the purpose of the game was outside politics.

    “We’ve said numerous times that we’re not here for any political aspects,” Smith said.

    Essentially, Smith was echoing Rodman’s sentiment but in a calmer manner. Smith also said that the date of the game and Kim’s birthday were purely coincidental.
