Fox News knocks Trump over Megyn Kelly 'conspiracy theories'
CNN Money ^ | August 15,2014 | Brian Stelter

Posted on 08/15/2015 8:45:12 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Fox News responded with a sharply worded statement on Friday night.

"The conspiracy theories about Megyn Kelly's vacation rank up there with UFO's, the moon landing and Elvis being alive," a network spokeswoman said. "Megyn is on a pre-planned, annual summer vacation with her family, which is much deserved. To imply otherwise as Donald Trump and his campaign operatives have is not only wildly irresponsible, but downright bizarre."

The spokeswoman added, "Perhaps Mr. Trump thinks it's advantageous to his poll numbers to keep talking about Megyn, but that doesn't change the fact that Roger Ailes has fully supported her and her tough journalistic questioning since day one and is thrilled with the added exposure from the debate, which resulted in even higher ratings of 'The Kelly File' this week."

Kelly talked on Wednesday's program about how she hasn't had a real vacation for six months. She'll be back on August 24.

That would be as creepy as MeGYN’s Kelley’s behavior during the debate.

I would hope everyone steers way away from her.

FAUX News continues to lie. I was an idiot for watching them for so many years, but what was the alternative, really? Cox doesn’t carry OAN.

There were 33K postings just on one of her FB threads, mostly not supportive. And here, and on Twitter. I don’t use Twitter or FB, and I’m sure there are many like me. I don’t plan on going back to FAUX. If I’m going to watch leftist news, might as well turn on CNN. At least the women there are decently dressed.

What I have not seen posted here is the fact that days prior to the ‘debate’, Fox and Ms. Kelly proudly boasted that they had a ‘plan’ to shake up the debate. Even Rush talked at length about their plan. PS. I love the pic. It says it all.

Hey, she’s an aggressive journalist. Remember how she did the “hall walk” to show up Karl Rove’s cheerleading? Donald will be hit with everything Kelly brought up and a lot more if he makes it to the general election. Better he face those questions now than in “October Surprises” next year. I have no problem with what she did.

Points up that perhaps the Donald is not the thick-skinned tough guy he purports to be. Business can be a rough arena, Donald, but it isn’t as rough as politics. Especially if you’re a Republican. Stop whining about “how I’m treated” and suck it up.

some right here on this forum.

No question. The msm was the epic enemy, communist, socialist, liars and evil manipulators.

But suddenly some so-called conservatives on a conservative forum announce, "The msm are being treated unfairly!"

Very ugly stuff. It reeks bad.

“Megyn Kelly, Kelly Megyn, Tabloid Barbie, whatever your name is” Allow me to quote from the two black ladies on Youtube. I think “Tabloid Barbie” is a brilliant description of that blond princess.

Not just her; all of FOX including FOX BUSINESS.
Haven’t watched any of their crap since that ambush and I am not even a Trump fan.
GO CRUZ.
Wont ever tune into FOX again; done with them, would rather watch Turner Classic Movies.
CRUZ OR LOSE.

If that were all true then Kelly would postpone her vacation to play out the excellence of her performance, as opposed to running off and letting her hideous performance die down in the minds of her viewers.

Please. Fox. Stop insulting our intelligence. You get so much more by being honest with us.

The "moderators" were debating and arguing with the candidates as if they were candidate participants themselves. This was inordinately clear.

The msm and frauds all feign concern and being offended by some fat slob comment make years ago in an entertainment venue? All this while America and it's people are literally being robbed, looted and betrayed by their own government.

Diversion and evasion are tools of deceit

Give me a break! Throwing out phrases like "tough journalistic questioning" only tarnishes the message they're trying to spin. Totally dishonest, and defeats their questionable statement that it was a "planned" vacation. She is an embarrassment and was sent into hiding.

Trump is on CSPAN right NOW in Iowa. News conference. All I ever heard him say was “I don’t know. Probably so” When people asked him about Megyn Kelly taking a vacation having to do with him.

Judge Nap filled in for a talk radio show - there was overwhelming support for Trump and criticism for Megyn Kelly.

Folloow the Fox money donations to the Clintoons:

Well, What-do-ya-know… This Might Explain That Debate – FOX is Hillary’s 9th Largest Donor
Gateway Pundit ^ | 08/14/15 | Jim Hoft
Posted on 8/15/2015, 9:25:04 AM by Enlightened1

In case you were still scratching your head over that brutal FOX News Republican primary debate there’s this… FOX is the 9th largest Hillary donor. Investment Watchdog reported:

f you were wondering why Brett Baier and Megan Kelly did all they could to kneecap Trump last night, maybe this news will help to explain it.

“According to Federal Election Commission and Center for Responsive Politics data, 21st Century Fox News Corp. has donated more than $3 million to Clinton family accounts. Overall, this lands Fox as the Clinton family’s 9th largest donor over the course of the family’s political involvement.”

Fox, the social commentary channel, thinks everything is a conspiracy. They bring up one conspiracy after another all the time. That’s what social commentary channels do when they are not a news channel and dedicated to researching facts.

I saw who Fox is in the 2012 election bashing all the conservatives and after what they did to Trump, I have been watching OAN, CSPAN, and other channels as much as possible. The panels they use to bash Trump are sickening.

Caller on CSPAN is a Democrat all his life. Is switching to Republican to vote for Trump. I have a friend who is doing the same.
