NBC's Megyn Kelly's interview with Alex Jones is shaping up to be a disaster

[boutons_deux]

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones (https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/4/6/15160486/alex-jones-vaccines-autism-gates-fungus-health-conspiracy-theories) has spent years on a cruel crusade trying to convince people that the parents of the children slain at Sandy Hook Elementary School are liars.

Now freshly minted NBC host Megyn Kelly, formerly of Fox News, is giving him a mega platform for one of the very first sit-down interviews on her new Sunday night show.

A teaser (http://thehill.com/homenews/media/337358-megyn-kelly-previews-alex-jones-interview) for the interview, which will air this Sunday, was released last night.

And immediately Kelly got an earful about it — from the families who lost loved ones in Sandy Hook, an event Jones claims was staged by actors, among others.

In her defense, Kelly said she’s simply shining a light on an increasingly important media figure. :lol

Alex Jones calls on Trump to move “physically” and make a “military move” against his enemies

Jones: "Let's be honest. We're in a war."

ALEX JONES (HOST): :lol Let me ask you, then we will go to break and go right back to calls from Tom and John and Steven and Morgan and O’Brien and Sam, we’re going to go to everybody.

What should Trump do?

I mean, he needs to get aggressive. Call them out.

[Attorney General Jeff] Sessions needs to start indicting some of these people.

JEROME CORSI: :lol :lol :lol :lol Well, the presidency has enormous power, ...

Well, at least she has the moolah. That should make her happy.

‘It’s A Sh*t Show’: NBC Reportedly in Panic Mode Over Megyn Kelly Interview

Are alarm bells ringing at 30 Rock?

Amid the growing controversy of Megyn Kelly’s upcoming interview with InfoWars founder Alex Jones, network executives are panicking with some even suggesting that the entire thing be scrapped before it airs Sunday, Page 6 (http://pagesix.com/2017/06/13/nbc-holding-crisis-meetings-over-megyn-kelly/) reported late Tuesday evening.

“It’s a s - - t show,” one insider told the New York Post’s most infamous vertical. “No one wants to withstand a whole week of criticism over this. There are a number of people who want to pull the interview.”

The paper, however, seemed to indicate that the interview was more likely than not to go on, and that NBC News chief Andy Lack was planning to go ahead with it.

the heat, has certainly been real.

What began as online carping from liberal Twitter accounts upset about giving Jones a platform quickly spiraled out of control.

The biggest bone of contention has been Jones’ frequent suggestion that the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre was staged.

Kelly was dropped from a planned appearance (http://www.mediaite.com/online/megyn-kelly-defends-alex-jones-interview-as-sandy-hook-group-drops-her-from-event/) at a gun violence prevention benefit gala inspired by the mass shooting

http://www.mediaite.com/online/its-a-sht-show-nbc-reportedly-in-panic-mode-over-megyn-kelly-interview/

Lack hired GK and Greta Van Susteren while O'Donnell and Chris are supposedly to be replaced.

LAck thinks he can pickup conservative assholes, and their advertisers' $$$, who are viewing Fox less now that their anointed agitator O'Reilly is gone.

Seriously:

Shouldn't this guy have some light shone on him?

I think the ignorant middle needs to be shown the level of crazy driving the right wing these days.

Remember that to win in the US, you don't have to convince the ends of the spectrum, you have to convince the middle.

I can't think of a better way to show how out of touch with reality a lot of Trump supporters are, than to let Alex Jones talk. That is a case that makes itself, and needs to be made.

Any serious person has heard about Alex Jones already. Why give him a national platform on broadcast TV?

Why expose his shitshow, his performance art, his infamy even more, esp to the easily influenced airheads and sheeple who get most of their "info" from teevee, from "credible" ABC?

We'll see if MK gives him a hard time, challenges him on his bullshit.

No. That's like saying Michael Moore is driving the left wing. They are both characters who do it for the money, neither represents either side.

She has made a series of mistakes already. In trying to be witty she's overshooting the mark.

Booking a Putin interview in which she was laughed at by him and then this.

Yeah she was too overhyped and tried to do too much

Reminds me when Shaq joined the Suns and failed miserably :lol

She should have started with interviews to average joes

[DMC]

But people are talking about her. She was a forgotten face, now she's not. She will have a Bill O'Rielly type show soon.
