Oh, How The Mighty Megyn Has Fallen
by Joan Swirksy
Most people, including me, know that Megyn Kelly is not only gorgeous, but also smart, sassy, incisive in her interviews, and genuinely funny. But the interview she conducted Wednesday night, August 26, with Jorge Ramos was disgraceful – the kind of toadying and biased interrogation that should be Exhibit #1 in journalism schools across the country about how not to be a legitimate journalist.
Ramos is a reporter for Univision, the company being sued by presidential candidate Donald Trump after they terminated their contractual relationship (including television broadcast obligations) with the Trump-backed Miss Universe Organization. The official charges include breach of contract and defamation, with the plaintiffs seeking more than $500 million in damages. Univision took its punitive action after Mr. Trump said that Mexican immigrants, including criminals and rapists, were teeming over our southern border – in other words, harmed him for exercising his constitutional right to free speech.
The Kelly interview was about Mr. Trump’s ousting of Ramos from a press conference the previous evening, after the candidate pointed to an audience member who had a question to ask. Interrupting, Ramos stood up and preempted the question, not with a question of his own, but with a virtual filibuster of grievances. And what did Ramos have the chutzpah to whine to Megyn Kelly about? That his free speech was being curtailed! Now that is rich!
Kelly had no doubt watched the film of exactly what had taken place. But not a peep out of her to give her audience the context of what had actually transpired. She also knew that Trump initially responded to Ramos’s outburst by saying repeatedly, “You weren’t called on, sit down.” Peepless.
Kelly also knew that Trump’s personal aide came out to the lobby to invite Ramos back into the auditorium. Not a peep. And she knew that the two men then engaged in a lengthy back and forth, apparently to the satisfaction of both of them. Still no peep.
Did Kelly’s viewing audience learn of any of these mitigating circumstances? Again, not a single peep from Kelly, who allowed – indeed encouraged – Ramos to go on and on in the victim role he so clearly basks in.
Did Kelly ask Ramos if it were true that his daughter works for Hillary Clinton? Would that not have been highly relevant? Not a peep!
Megyn’s interview was as dishonest as it gets in the world of what should be legitimate journalism (although in today’s America, “legitimate journalism” may be the ultimate oxymoron!). While Ramos portrayed himself as the victim of big, bad Donald Trump, and himself as the virtuous believer in free speech and the right to be heard, Megyn put on her most sincere listening face, but failed to challenge any of Ramos’s lies.
Kelly fits neatly into the pack
The pack, that is, of other TV personalities who forgot but were then reminded that they were simply employees. Both Paula Zahn and Alisyn Camerota were Fox News Network news readers, commentators, hosts, co-hosts, anchors, whatever – both delivering their commentary with a distinctly conservative flavor.
When they moved to CNN, however (Zahn in 2001; Camerota in 2014), their commentary magically became unmistakably liberal.
But it wasn’t magic at all. Both women worked for the big business of American media, with bosses who issue directives and, in essence, tell them what to say – not the exact phrasing, but certainly the slant. That’s how business works…the boss calls the shots and the employees either comply or get booted.
And if you think that the bosses have the final say, think again. The major outlets – both print and electronic – take a lot of their marching orders from the White House. That’s right, and while the government-controlled press/TV/radio didn’t begin with Mr. Obama, his regime has certainly taken it to unprecedented heights. As just one example, have we heard about one single civilian casualty in the thousand of drone strikes Mr. Obama has ordered over the past almost-seven years in the Middle East? Even one? I rest my case.
Dinosaurs
But I digress. For decades, the media have prided themselves on having the greatest influence on who gets elected and who doesn’t, particularly in the big contests for president (of which there is only one) and senators (of which there are only 100). They also like to pick their favorite spokespeople, even if those selections are completely unrepresentative of public sentiment.
Karl Rove of Fox is a perfect example. A big kahuna in the President George W. Bush years and a virtual encyclopedia of electoral minutiae, Rove likes his politicians rather tame and manipulable, and that is why he appears to call the shots for Reince Priebus, the head of the Republican National Committee, who faithfully echoes Rove’s white bread sentiments.
Clearly, Rove and his Democrat counterparts – recycled dinosaurs, all – are kept on because of the pricey contracts they’ve signed. It is certainly not that they shed any light! And then along comes Donald Trump and all they can do is hurl snooty insults and wage bets against the obvious frontrunner.
Yes, that Donald Trump, the guy who tells it like it is, never fails to remind you that he knows how to negotiate and strike deals and make America great again, the guy who has learned through thousands of negotiations how to “read” people (and the language they use) with unerring accuracy.
Even before he “read” Megyn Kelly, he came out of the candidate’s box with an insult to Sen. John McCain and a virtual manifesto against illegal immigration. And how did the media – both conservative and liberal – react? With reflexive horror, well-practiced political correctness, tsk-tsk raised eyebrows, and uniform condemnation.
We the people
And how did the public react – that would be me and you and all the other ignorant rubes who the media elites believe can’t hold a candle to own their immense wisdom and knowledge?
We-the-People not only gave Mr. Trump huge poll ratings, but also heaved a huge sigh of gratitude. At last, they seemed to say, a guy who speaks to our concerns and doesn’t give a damn about the political correctness that violates our First Amendment rights every minute of every day, a guy who not only wants to protect our southern border, but also do away with every aspect of the horrors we’ve experienced over the past several years, including:
- The diminishing of our military (and the shabby treatment of our veterans)
- The horrific socialized medicine nightmare of Obamacare
- The ghastly dumb-down-our-kids education fiasco known as Common Core
- The crushing national debt
- The Mt. Everest heights of unemployment
- The infiltration of the America-loathing and anti-Semitic Muslim Brotherhood into the highest reaches of our government (including State, Homeland Security, the Pentagon, Health and Human Services, and the White House itself!)
- On and on…
We know that not a single Democrat candidate for president is speaking out on these America-destroying issues. All we hear from them is victim, victim, victim, more money, more money, more money. Nothing with the Democrats has changed in over 70 years – and nothing has succeeded!
But the Trump promise to do away with or change or fix our problems is ringing true to the American public. Why? Because he’s proved it again and again in his own business life, surmounting losses and turning them into profits, and in his personal life, weathering disappointments in his marriages – and yet his two former wives are his biggest fans, and his children are model citizens!
Yes, there is an embarrassment of riches on the Republican side, and at least four or five candidates are impressively articulate in stating their plans for a better America. But none of them has the business experience and toughness and aggressiveness (which we need right now) of Mr. Trump.
The same Mr. Trump who perceived, quite accurately, I think, that Megyn Kelly was more than provocative in the first debate, indeed in a “gotcha” mode to entrap, embarrass, and diminish him. To the entire country’s surprise, Trump fought back, accusing Kelly of being, in essence, unprofessional and of gratuitously baiting him.
The next day…poll numbers boomed for Mr. Trump!
However, Mr. Trump went a step further. He went directly to Megyn’s boss, Roger Ailes, president of Fox News and chairman of the Fox Television Stations Group, and according to the candidate’s own report, it was a productive meeting in which Ailes promised that Fox would “be fair” to him Mr. Trump. All good. And then – coincidence? – Megyn announced she was leaving for a two-week vacation.
But when she came back, Mr. Trump tweeted that Megyn was not on her game, and apparently both Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox (and The New York Post, among numerous other holdings), and Roger Ailes, decided that they would summon all their power and influence to take Trump down. Clearly, they’ve dispatched General Megyn Kelly to the front lines.
On Wednesday, the news was preoccupied by the tragic death of two young media people from Virginia who were murdered while on air. But throughout the day there was a steady drumbeat of anti-Trump commentary and innuendo on Fox.
If things continue on the same trajectory for Mr. Trump, I suspect he may end up thanking Fox for kicking his poll numbers into the stratosphere!

Nice show!!!!!!!!!!
Put Megyn and Donald on the same card!
he wants to remove the 14th amendment… you know what…. why not fund forced abortions for immigrants…. push for more funding for planned parenthood
Screw that NWO virgin little baby girl hore b_tch… Remember, her DADDY has business dealings with the Rothschilds, AND is part of the upper NWO elite! As a thank you to the NWO and Rothschilds for their undisclosed wealth and power, Megans parents offered their cute little baby girl as their ritual NWO satanic abuse, and hench; we all see Megan today. Before you only rely upon her cute look, you need to look into her stone cold Satanic heart, and her breed to spread the NWO agenda as she was brainwashed to since birth. She was taught to be on her hands and knees as a abused baby to worship the NWO, so you see, she really has been taught to be on her knees.
She placed a FAKE background on that wikipeople page, so when you read it, ask your self why does her daddy “Travel the world”? Ask yourself how and why they live in a high 1% NWO elite multimillion home and NWO community. Next, look at the several husbands who Megan was married to, and their family stock. You wlll see all lead to one specific agenda – NWO. Remember, always look into each of their parents inner cirlcle connections and business ties, and you will plainly see the connenctions. By only looking at Megan herself, you find little, but once you start to do background checks on her several husbands family tree heritage, and her very own parents family tree heritiage, you will find what you all are looking for. Always look at their families and friends and backtrack. that is how you find the truth about people.
So now do you see how Megan was born and breed to be on her knees to the NWO overthrown of our nation for the Rothschilds? As Megan, any abused child growing up in a brainwashed disfunction family, she was breed to protect the NWO at all costs, and her pretty face was suppose to make you not see her Satanic heart and agenda she is hiding. Once you understand her past, you will understand why she only protects one side (aka NWO). I pray and wonder what part her very own children are now exposed to, since she feels that “brainwashing” abuse is “normal”… Did she offer them to the NWO cult… Why keep changing husbands all the time Megan? And once people research each of their families tree bloodlines, will they see how you fit into the NWO agenda because you only marry fellow NWO silent members we are not suppose to know about…
Where can we research here “families tree bloodlines?”
Ancestory and start doing web search NOT ON G^^GLE, oR YAH##, as they are “controlled” what you get back. Try private web search engines. You may have to read a few pages but read and weed them, and you will find orgainzations, businesses, etc. Look up (websearch) her parents names (one at a time aka maiden), then both their parents names (aka maiden), and you will start to piece together where they “worked”, how they got their millions, etc, and you will see organizations they are linked to, like the Rothschilds and NWO. Remember to follow both set of her parents, and then both sets of her grandma/pa and you will see all the jobs, businesses, etc… Its a puzzle, but if someone has a hour or so to spend, you will start to get your pieces… Everyone today wants everything given to them on a gold platter, and someone else to do all the work. Seek and you will find, and then if you want, share their names, business connections, etc… I do not want to get into the specific “name” game because I have my “Reasons”. Just doing all I can for someone else to “expose” them for what they really are and dropping the bread crumbs or following the “Yellow Brick Road” to the Grand Prize! Your welcome, but do some detective work…
Back when there were real journalists some things would make it on tv. Here is one from CBS and harry reed- the host, not the other Harry Reid the devilcrat from Nevada. The reason why obama was appointed ( it is an Indirect Election for a Reason which is why they do use the Popular sheeple Vote) is because he is in the family and Bush and Cheney’s cousin. All the bastards are related.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2imEnmIHAXE
Hell, Even Bill Oreilly’s alter ego- Chrissy Matthews did a segment on Barry and Georgie and everyone else being related.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xDaF9KKqec
Clearly the american sheeple keep ‘electing’ people that are all related NOT!. The Bilderberg Group appoints the president and they must be meet certain criteria.
1) the must be blood relation.
2) they must be a total New World Order slave.
Clinton, Bush’s, Obama al;l were the special speaking guest of the Bilderberg Group right before the fake ‘election’. That is why they created the ‘Electoral College’ any candidate can win the sheeple Popular vote and still lose the election, besides the sheeple don’t even decide the 2-party dictatorship Nominee- 713 ‘delegates do, lol. unless your vote says ELECTORAL VOTE your vote flat out DOES NOT MATTER, it is counted towards the ‘popular vote’ which is not used to determine the outcome. It’s not a popularity contest or a local mayoral election. 99.9% of the sheeple do not even understand this. It is an INDIRECT ELECTION- not a direct election. Abolish the joke of a lie ‘Electoral College’
A CBS graphic showed obama winning the 2012 election- before it even happened, which I witnessed but didn’t record but someone else did, lol.

Yeah, Mika Brzezinski on MicroSoftNationalBroadcasting(brainwashing)Company(MSNBC) is no different. You understand who Mika’s daddy is?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zbigniew_Brzezinski
But all of these channels are made for TV Programming- which is exactly as it sounds ‘programming’ all of the sheeple. The Rothschilds own the AP and Reuters and everything trickles down from there. When you are the world’s kingpin family worth $700 Trillion dollars and own the media and the federal reserve and your family has loaned money to countries, installed and uninstalled Presidents and Country Leaders and governments while funding both sides of every major war- you basically own and run the world. I am just really suprised that no country has had the fortitude to take all of the Rothschild family out all over the world and seize all of their gold and everything they own and work their way down to the next family and I would suggest the Rockefellers after every Rothschild is taken out and everything seized. Until the time a country is brave enough or willing to do this -Nothing Will Change.
Well, maybe now Megyn Kelly can stop playing at being a *journalist* and get to making those porn videos that I have been waiting literally years to see……Years I tell ya!!!
@ mannyL
every word you say is true
all these media whores and pimps belong to this sick NWO system which is breaking apart
keep in mind it’s all a show
don’t let life entangle you – ignore and do your own thing
Thank you. Remember people – FOX, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc are NOT “REAL NEWS” Channels! They are “ENTERTAINMENT” channels. They need to keep you watching 24/7 so their ratings stay high, and they can sell the #’s to the sponsors (tv commercials). So who cares if it is real or NOT “News” because just like watching HBO, Disney, NICK, Discovery, etc channels… Don’t they also give you “NEWS?”, but in the form of “Entertainment”? Those lines were crossed decades ago.
Also, to show how your brain is being “REPROGRAMMED” by the TV…Next time you watch it and a commercial comes on, flip the channel and you will 95% see that the other channels have commercials at the exact same second! They are doing this so your brain only gets 6-7 minutes of information, then cut off abruptly, to commercials! What this does over time, your brain is being “REPROGRAMMED” to only remember 6-7 minutes of information and STOP! So you loose all your long term memory without you even realizing it… Want to do a test on yourself? Can you give me 3 headlines from last week? No? Well, you see, they “Reprogrammed” your brain without you realizing it but now you can see it. Next, ask everyone you know this same question and they all will not be able to answer it either… See how your longterm memory is being stolen from everyone, and they are too clueless to comprehend it?

You had me until the anti-Semitic Muslim Brotherhood where the article falls apart not knowing that the majority of Muslims are Semites.
Gorgeous?
Just because she is often sassy and outspoken doesn’t mean that she is allowed to stray far from her handlers – er, employers. She’s getting paid gobs of money to serve her employers’ agenda. She’s not paid to have much of an opinion.
Truth but remember, her rich daddy paid his fellow FOX news NWO money to put her on her own TV program. Go back to early clips, and you’ll even hear Sheppard ask her why she wants to do TV, when “your family is RICH, you don’t have to do this”. Go back to her earliest clips and you’ll hear numerous hosts comment because her dad is worth about a Billionaire. NWO…. So you see, for her, this is NOT about the money, but pushing the NWO agenda. She has 10s of millions from daddy. Check out her numerous husbands and you’ll see they all are multimillionares. Her hubby “owns” companies, and she makes it sound like he’s a average job going to get their hands dirty. See how she “”plays” the word game to distract you from reality?
I am so sick of Megan Kelly that I never intend to watch this pathetic so called journalist again! Donald Trump is a wonderful man and would make a great president. I listen to all his speeches and I cannot believe that in this Luciferian controlled society, that The Donald has the guts to say it exactly like it is! A breath of fresh and clean air in a society filled with the filth of hell. I pray for his safety and continued success for he is indeed awakening this nation of drugged people to the truth and the reality of just how bad off we are. Go Donald!
Trump put Jorge Ramos down like a teacher dealing with a disruptive student. It was perfect. The same goes for Megyn Kelly.
I used to like Meghan, but not anymore. She is blatantly a Trump hater. I thought FOX was supposed to be fair and balanced. I won’t watch her anymore. FOX is turning into a MSNBC. RIP
She was born into the NWO agenda from birth, and violated and abused as a baby and little girl in NWO satanic rituals, and why her only focus is pro NWO agenda and nothing else. Hopefully child services is checking her children for sexual and brainwashing abuse like she was since birth… Oh what better robot then to forge a cute little blond virgin, and abuse her in rituals for the Rothschilds and NWO agenda. Once you know this, you will know everything about her…
WoW!!! This woman has no idea of what Fair and Balanced means after all that is Fox News motto. Meagan Kelly is no better than Candy Crowley that was bias in the last Presidential Debates two peas in a pod.
The news media is one of the major problems today they cover up major corruption of Politicians/Bureaucrats and issues that has help destroy and cause major falsehoods for the public today and refuse to cover the truth in the stories they are covering!
Yes, you are correct about Megyn Kelley and the whole FOX news team including Bill O’Reilly. They seem two-faced and avoid tough questions or answers.
Plus the owner of FOX donates to the Clinton Foundation of all things.
And remember, Megyns rich daddy bought her job and TV at Fox. Yeah, he’s that rich and NWO connected… Ask any FOX news person when she was just hired. She was treated as a Queen over veteran news anchors, and she flipped the finger to every veteran there. She never once got her painted finger nails dirty, but had everyone do it for her… Yeah, her dad bought her that power at FOX, no one was suppose to know. No one liked her there because she was such a B_tch kunt who only wanted stories from everyone else, who did the real searching, thus making it seem she was this queen b_tch…
Megan looks like Nicole Brown Simpson. Maybe, she once upon a time, 30 years ago, she played the role of OJ Simpson’s ‘abused’ wife. Her physical attributes, he attitude, sassy tone of voice, sense of entitlement. I believe the whole OJ trial was staged and Nicole was 20 years younger than was said to have been.
Well according to the leaked healthcare sources she did have a bad case of Yeast Infection…. gross….. it has a fish rotten smell.

Faux News is the 11th highest contributor to Hitlery’s campaign, and is why she was determined to destroy Trump……she showed her azz is all she managed to do.
More truth in this piece than I have seen in a long time. Great piece thanks.
