Megan Kelly Follows Up Putin Interview with Far-Right Nutball Alex Jones

By James St. James on June 12, 2017 11:10 am

I guess you can take the girl out of FOX, but you can’t take the FOX out of the girl.

After last week’s bizarro interview with Vladimir Putin – in which she dressed like a horny bachelorette at a rose-giving ceremony and lobbed softball questions at one of the most evil dictators in the world – Megan Kelly is giving airtime to alt-right radio show host/whackadoodle conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Jones, of course, has made a career for himself out of claiming that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job, and that the parents of the 20 students murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012 were actors and the deaths of the children as well as six school employees were all faked.

Via HuffPo:

Kelly was criticized on social media for what some saw as an attempt to normalize Jones and his outlandish and untrue claims. She defended herself by saying President Donald Trump had praised Jones and appeared on his show. She also noted that Jones’ InfoWars was given credibility when the site received White House press credentials.

“Many don’t know him; our job is 2 shine a light,” she wrote.

As one commenter put it: Saying Trump gave InfoWars press credentials makes them a legitimate news source is like saying Milli Vanilli are singers because their lips move in sync to music.

What next, Megan (and, by extension, NBC)? Truth or dare with Sean Spicer? A game of “Marry, Fuck, Kill” with Sean Hannity? A cooking segment with Kim Jong-un? Where does this normalizing of terrible people end?

The twitterverse is understandably rather upset with Megan.

My nephew survived Sandy Hook. I am not tolerating this. Will never watch @megynkelly or @NBCNews again if they choose to air this.

Here you go @megynkelly – her name is Ana Grace Márquez-Greene. Say her name- stare at this & tell me it’s worth it. @nbc #SandyHook pic.twitter.com/mKrU63KWmA

20 children dead at Sandy Hook and @megynkelly is giving voice to the man who suggested it was a hoax.

This is beyond shameful, @NBCNews. https://t.co/7OPTCPQHAd

Boycott @NBC & @megynkelly for the @RealAlexJones interview. Jones is an incendiary conspiracy theorist who makes up news to fit his agenda

Sandy Hook & Aurora families have gone through enough without giving him a platform to spew his filth. This is sickening. #ShameOnNBC

— Emily Yates (@emryates) June 12, 2017

Since Alex Jones is a self admitted “Performance Artist” what possible motivation is there to allow him to perform for you #ShameonNBC

— Anappleaday (@N_appleaday) June 12, 2017

Megyn, you’re a mom. Think of the pain you’re elevating by giving that performance artist airtime. Choose empathy over ratings. #ShameOnNBC

— Khary Penebaker (@kharyp) June 12, 2017

Alex Jones doesn’t deserve one second of air time. What a horrible lack of respect to the families of Sandy Hook. @NBCNews

— M. Ejample (@bnelvr) June 12, 2017

Megyn Kelly did this to gain ratings for a new show at the expense of grieving families. #ShameOnNBC, Jones and Kelly.

— Tina-TheResistance (@trcfwtt) June 12, 2017

Sickening that Alex Jones is going to get a primetime spot on national TV next week to spew the nonsense that has hindered the lives of ppl

— Dakota Schmidt (@Dakota_Schmidt) June 12, 2017

There is no justification for amplifying lies (or a liar), particularly about unimaginable tragedy. I hope no parent, no person watches this https://t.co/nSt1MGGM2U

On FATHER’S DAY Megyn Kelly is interviewing Alex Jones – a man who harasses the parents of bombing and shooting tragedies. #shameonNBC https://t.co/0tZNt04QHQ

— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) June 12, 2017

Let NBC know that giving Alex Jones a forum on network TV dishonors the loss of the Newtown families. #ShameOnNBC https://t.co/I6hAdNt0Bu

— Intellitexan (@IntelliTexan) June 12, 2017

Giving racist bigot this huge platform is nauseating. The educational figleaf can’t disguise the ratings greed. Shame on @megynkelly & NBC https://t.co/43xlMygWFf

— Laurence Tribe (@tribelaw) June 12, 2017

Week 1 NBC’s Megyn Kelly normalizes Vladimir Putin.
Week 2 she normalizes Alex Jones.
Can’t wait for the Week 3 normalization of David Duke!

— Sean Corcoran (@seacorc) June 12, 2017

Any story about Alex Jones should give equal time to victims and address his body count, including the people in prison bc they believed him

— Mark Agee (@MarkAgee) June 12, 2017

Megan’s interview with Jones airs this Sunday, June 16th. Yes, on Father’s day.
