Good journalism isn’t making up some lie about a woman on her hands and knees. You need to apologize Kelly. You’re also a lawyer and wouldn’t know what journalism is.

Trump is like Obama. He should only be asked softball questions from sycophants. Obama had his Obamarobots. Trump has his chumps who want not vetting, like our nemesis Obama. Go Cruz. Cruz never funded the Clintons, the Pelosis, Reid, or Chuck Schumer. Cruz isn’t a stalking horse for Hillary, like Trump. Get to real conservatism that has some intellect and lifelong commitment and accept that you’re not proofing P.T. Barnum’s dictum right - a fool is born every minute.

......Trump, who is the frontrunner, will not apologize, and I certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism.....

IS that what you call "good journalism" you Bottle Blonde Bimbo?
Well then why don't you explain "bad journalism" to me.
I'd really like to know

(NOT)

This is a tough business, and it’s time now to move forward.

Translation.... We need to move on because this is hurting us and the one thing it has proved is that we need Donald more than he needs us. Please Donald, could you say you are moving on too? Purdy please? Purdy, purdy pullleaze?

The problem was that no one ever explained to her the responsibilities of being a good debate moderator. She thought she was simply doing another segment of her tv show.

Some similarities from Megyn to Clinton’s finger wagging all those years ago. I am getting back to...

Translation...
I am in the ratings business , and have just possibly lost access to the biggest ratings grab available.

So I will play tough, move on, and keep my head down, for a while anyway.

...
She’s not going anywhere, she is the only host in cable news to even approach O’Reilly in terms of ratings. She’s making Fox tons of money. She even beats Billy Bill from time to time.

...
I think Trump is smart enough that, if he is able to stay in the race until the spring, he will eventually do a one on one with Ms. Kelly. It will be ... must see TV. The ratings will be huge, they can both (without apologies) move on, and he can get serious face time in the run up to critical primaries.

(Suggestion - this part works better if you use your favorite Trump voice as you read along.)

*******
Banner cut in, Fox News exclusive.

Kelly: Mr. Trump, everyone knows we’ve had our differences along the way...
Trump: yes we have
Kelly: but I think we can agree to disagree on some things...
Trump: as long as you don’t ask me to apologize
Kelly: well don’t expect me to apologize either..
... short awkward silence...
Trump: I’m here to talk about the trouble this country is in Megyn...
Kelly: Let’s start with policies... you have been criticized for not offering specifics. (She gets to still appear tough) How exactly would you fix the things you say are broken?
Trump: Well you know Megyn, you can’t fix things with sound bites, and everyone says they want specifics, but most people have the attention span of a poodle when it comes to political matters. So I try to focus on the important things, the very big things that are very wrong with this country.
Kelly: but specifics matter.
Trump: they do Megyn. You know, I wrote a book, it sold very well, and I talked about a lot of these things. I did this years ago. It’s my ideas, my great ideas, that’s what has people telling me to run for years.
Kelly: (starts to interrupt and Trump talks over her)
Trump: Taxes are a mess. I’ve got a simple plan to fix that, four brackets, no deductions, everyone pays something. The border is a mess, immigration is a mess. We build a wall and we deal with the illegals. Criminals first. It’s about priorities Megyn. And Iran, China everyone knows what trouble we are in. First I would get a Secretary of State who isn’t going to give away the country for nothing. And if needed I would sit down myself, like Reagan did, sit down myself, and let them speak to the man in charge so they understand very clearly where America stands. These people don’t know how to negotiate and win. I do, Megyn. That’s why I’m winning now, and that’s why I’m going to keep winning.

...
You read it here first.

Doesn't sound like she learned anything, but who knows. Anyway it's all very boring now.

And for the first week since her show began, it will not grace the TVs in our household. Not will any other FoxNews show for quite some time.

Wonder who actually wrote her script. That is not her “voice”.

So, she didn’t address her lack of Journalistic Integrity by not presenting in context what Comments made by Rosie on a Nationally Televised TV Show toward Trump and his Family that he reacted to?

She was also completely wrong about the On Your Knees comment that she attributed to Trump.

Well, there you go.

Megyn, Megyn, Megyn. You were handed the big person keys to host a presidential debate. You choose to take those keys and ask a “war on women” type gotcha question that could only have been planted there by someone in the GOPe looking to start the dismantling of any candidate that is a threat to JEB! With all due respect Megyn, you have a nightly show where you can and do ask gotcha questions. I suppose nobody bothered to tell you that the presidential debate was not an extension of your show.

At any rate, I did not watch your non-response, response tonight because, quite frankly, you are not worth watching any longer. Have fun shilling for JEB.

that was journalism??? I didn’t learn a thing from the debates. I did discover that the moderators planned to enrage a candidate with silly questions

Trump fanboys really hate Megan. It’s becoming pathetic.

Magyn Kelly’s gotcha question was the stuff of the DemonRATs (yes I spelled it correctly). I think if anything, it was just what The Donald will find if he gets the nomination. The DemonRATs fight with the Alinsky Method and will resort to fabrication if necessary. Eric Erickson resorted to fabrication which kept The Donald from the Red State Convention. If I was Trump, Erickson would have a little letter sent by one of his lawyers. For the DemonRATs there is no need to debate the issues based on fact. They work on demonization. Erickson seems more of a DemonRAT than a Republican. This little episode has diverted Trump from spelling out his details about policy. That is one of the things the Alinsky Method does. It keeps the candidate from putting the focus on their ideas and what they will do to make America great again.

Perhaps Trump fans expected the moderators to ask the type of worshipful questions asked of Obama and Hillary. I do not think that a man who has perfected his tough guy image needs the protection of his most faithful followers.

Ahh yes, hiding behind the standard “good journalism” shtick, and then begging off from the confrontation.

Doesn't matter what you thing about Trump, this specific wording tells the story, IMO.
