HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Megyn Kelly’s interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was seen by 3.5 million viewers, according to Nielsen.
Much criticized ahead of time, the report filled roughly one-third of NBC’s hour-long “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly,” whose audience was dwarfed by CBS rival “60 Minutes,” which drew 5.3 million viewers.
Jones, among other claims, has called the 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, a hoax. Members of that community, where 20 children and six educators were killed, were among the voices raised against NBC airing the interview. A local NBC affiliate didn’t carry the program.
During the interview, Jones never gave a direct answer when Kelly pressed him to admit he was wrong in his claim about the shootings.
Kelly drew 6.2 million viewers to her interview of Vladimir Putin during her show’s June 4 debut.
Welcome to the actual big time, Ms. Kelly. This is what having a discerning audience, which can separate alt-fact from GOP fluff, is actually like.
Her next interview will be with a “Creationist historian” who will explain that Santa Claus was actually white.
They also forgot to watch, I guess.
Oddly enough Creationists don’t believe in Santa. They believe in a phantom sky-man because it was written about in a book. Yet there are many books about Santa and he’s tracked by NORAD beginning Dec. 1 Every. Fucking. Year.

We need to take her down. End her career. She just left one of the few “news” outlets that consider her legitimate. Her hiring is a black eye for NBC. She’s a right wing hack who should be working for WorldNetDaily or the like.
I’m boycotting advertisers to her show, I urge others to do same. Taunt her in the street when you see her, ask her if Jesus was white.
