Why Israel has to be on the defensive about their war on terror is astonishing? Not one word from Megyn Kelly about HAMAS terror!

I hate to say this, but every day it is becoming more and more apparent that content of fox news is being driven by an Anti-Israel bias...perhaps by its owners (e.g. Saudis)

Sometimes I think Megyn is auditioning for a future job at ABC/NBC/CBS.

Fox News is all hat and no cattle.

I saw this interview. Kelly was respectful, gave Dermer the chance to answer & didn’t interrupt some long responses. She asked tough, hard question & gave him a forum to address the criticism that Israel is getting.There’s a difference between what she did and the way a Lefty Anti-Israel MSM interviewer would have done it. Dermer answered all her questions, didn’t duck anything and I thought he came across very well. It was an “uncomfortable” interview because the questions were hard & on a tough subject (the ugliness of war for everybody), but after, I thought it was a fair interview.

I may have allowed my BS_Meter to get too high from previous interviews....Here is my problem with Megyn:

1. I am no layer, but she puts Dermer in the hot seat with questions like, "Do you believe that Israel is defensible in its attack on..." The inference being that it is difficult to defend killing kids.
2. She never mentioned one word of HAMAS using kids as human shields!?
3. She acts as though the Obama Admin is the objective 3rd party!?
4. She asks, "Even the staunchest Israel supporters can't justify the killing of kids..." Basically accusing Israel of killing children when it is HAMAS putting them in harms way to be killed!?

Perhaps it is only me...but I see this as being a harbinger of bad things to come when the last of BIG MEDIA that proclaims to be fair/balanced begins down the road of Islamic Appeasement...

Ah, MegYn Kelly. At least she apparently answered the phone call from the 80’s asking for its mullet back.

Ever since another FReeper pointed out a while ago how she spells her name with a “Y”, I’ve always kind of wondered if she should be taken seriously.

But I guess if that’s the worst that can be said of her she’s not doing too bad.

Seems to me this wasn’t a “grilling” more like an opportunity for an Israeli official to respond to some of the outrageous allegations from the left (as others have said too).

Still wish she’d spell it “Megan” though.

I missed it as I can’t stand the sight of Megyn Kelly. In fact we hardly ever watch Fox anymore. They have changed and not for the better.

Yesterday morning the GOP trotted that Rep Salmon out to push the POS immigration bill they want to pass. Two times he said that the bill would put the National Guard on the border which is an outright lie. Neither of the Fox bobbleheads even questioned him on it.

Sorry, but grilling people she is interviewing is part of the job. I get really sick of republicant butt kissers. I wish all these news shows would grill every person they have on.
If they are public officials in any capacity they SHOULD be grilled.

I believe this is the interview (video) here.

If this is it - and I only watched the first half, she appears to be doing 2 things:

1. Laying out the tough questions that she must ask as a journalist, even if she doesn't agree that the questions should have to be asked in the first place and ...
2. Simply laying out the question, and then almost nodding as he answers. In other words, I don't think she's attacking.

... or not. But that that's what I was picking up. "Here is what people are saying" ... and then she gave him the floor, with lots of time to refute. And he did that convincingly for anyone who is rational.
