Megyn Kelly talked about the “de-legitimization” of the media” in an interview with NPR’s Terry Gross broadcasted Wednesday.
“I think it’s dangerous,” Kelly said. “People need good, strong, skeptical journalists to be covering whoever it is — whether it’s Barack Obama or President Donald Trump — and we’re in a dangerous phase right now, where too many millions of Americans aren’t listening at all to what the press tells them.” Continue reading “Megyn Kelly: “Too Many Americans Aren’t Listening At All To What The Press Tells Them,” “Dangerous””
