Limbaugh: Megyn Kelly,Fox News,"Purposely Hit Conservatives Hard" To Downplay(Shortened)
Breitbart.com ^ | February 1, 2016 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 02/01/2016 3:04:41 PM PST by Biggirl

On his Monday radio how, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh fielded a call from a supporter of Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump that asked if Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly was a “good person” despite having taken on Trump’s opponent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on allegations that he supported amnesty, but later conceded he had not, during last week’s presidential debate.

I didn’t watch the debate at the time, but did afterwards.

If I’m not mistaken, after introducing the segment on “social issues” by saying about 60% of Iowa voters are evangelical, they did about 8 minutes on them.

They didn’t even ask all the candidates questions, if I’m not mistaken.

AND they didn’t mention the corrupt, politically-motivated indictment of the Center for Medical Progress investigators. Chris Christie did mention Planned Parenthood, but it was too little, too late.

In the interview after the debate Kelly conceded (with a little grin) that Cruz was against amnesty but that it was complicated for viewers to understand the parliamentary maneuvers he used in the Senate.

My immediate thought was: Then why did you put on those misleading videos. Sure he defended his positions, but it was impossible to do it in a 30 second sound bite. That was unfair.

You have to be joking. I listen to him everyday. He hasn't taken sides. He just points out the obvious.

If you believe rush beck has not taken side, maybe he's right. His listeners are too dumb to see through what he is doing.

You live in cloud coo-coo-land. It’s 24/7 anti-Trump stuff on Fox.

FOX had been treating Trump with kid gloves. Trump withdrew from the debate to make sure that Megyn Kelly could push Trump's lies about Cruz. She did a good job for Trump. They should be about even now.

It's amazing what you learn come election time on FR. There really are some loony conspirators out there.

Fox has been bashing Trump as much as you guys.

Cruz did it to himself by staying in the debate. Trump was smart enough to know it was coming.

“I am not a Cruz person but Meghan Kelly knowing lied about his position on immigration”

Correct. And then she admitted that Cruz’ amendments did indeed constitute an attempt to scuttle the bill in her post debate interview, after she had already done her damage.

He failed to point out the Murdoch lobby group for open border and Murdoch’s support of Rubio because of this. Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin have both exposed this - Fox is not conservative and not unbiased. The fix was in for Rubio - it was VERY obvious with that stupid Luntz group after the Donald-free debate.

Not speaking about this event, But Rush stopped being a true on conservative in the 90’s when he wanted access to the GOP country clubs. Anyone who listened to rush in the 80’s would know that he used to be a real conservative.

I've never had cable. I've very rarely watch fox anything. I watched none of the non-informative debates run by self promoting saboteurs. Hopefully many more people will cut the cord soon. Hopefully political candidates will abandon the debates in the future.

Now there's a Trump silver lining for me.

There is no reason to believe that Fox news would not go after Democrat/Liberal/Socialist candidates at least as hard or perhaps harder [since the other new media will certainly not do so.

I know some folks think the conservatives were targeted, but I do not think so. We will never be able to prove this as the Democrats refuse to have their candidates appear on a debate hosted by Fox News.

Boycott Fox, send Murdoch packing back where he came from! Let Murdock take his former flame, Mgyn with him.

And how is Kelly’s lies about Cruz and immigration any different from the Trump cult?

He did that years ago!

You have to be delirious, Rush is conservatives greatest treasure and I have no idea where this country would be without him.
