Meanwhile, speaking of Megyn Kelly

The corporate media, whose coverage of elections seems inspired mainly by American Idol, has forgotten to tell you some interesting things about Megyn Kelly.


In December 2013, remarks made by Kelly in reaction to a Slate article drew controversy. On The Kelly File, she said that "For all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white, but this person is just arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa," adding, "But Santa is what he is, and just so you know, we’re just debating this because someone wrote about it." Kelly also stated that Jesus was a white man later in the segment.

On the June 11, 2015 edition of Fox News' The Kelly File, Megyn Kelly warned that the Obama administration plans to force "too white [and] too privileged" communities to embrace diversity "whether the communities want it or not":

On the May 20 edition of Fox News' The Kelly File, Megyn Kelly criticized First Lady Michelle Obama's commencement speech at the historically black Tuskegee University, arguing her recollection of racial discrimination played into a "culture of victimization." Kelly added that discussing racial discrimination is the norm in "Cupcake Nation, that's what we're turning into."

On the July 13 edition of Fox News' The Kelly File, Megyn Kelly suggested that the Obama administration chose to ignore Kate Steinle's murder by an undocumented immigrant because there weren't riots or protests like those that happened after the deaths of black Baltimore resident Freddy Grey while in police custody, and Michael Brown, an unarmed black man in Ferguson, MO., by a white police officer. "If you take a civilized route, the respectful, quiet, sad objectioning route, you get ignored," added Kelly.

On the December 4, 2014 edition of Fox News' The Kelly File, Kelly discussed nationwide protests in the wake of the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown and asked several times for "evidence" that the deaths of Garner and Brown had "anything to do with race."

Kelly Devoted 45 Segments Over A Two-Week Period Fanning The Flames Of Discredited Account Of Voter Intimidation. During the summer of 2013, Kelly repeatedly tried to scandalize an investigation about a New Black Panther Party member who stood outside a polling station on Election Day 2012, allegedly intimidating voters. Kelly claimed that her sources would shed light on the Obama administration's "decision to not pursue serious charges against members of the New Black Panther Party" and that "politics and race" were potentially to blame.

If she weren't blond, would she still qualify as a Fox commentator??

Megan Kelly fit nicely into America's historical tolerance of smear politics.
