Megyn Kelly Gets Defensive After George Clooney Questions Her Journalism Career

1. **From reporter Pocharapon Neammanee:**

   Right-wing pundit Megyn Kelly hit back at George Clooney after the actor questioned what she has done to be a journalist.

   Their feud began after Clooney gave an interview with “60 Minutes” to promote his Broadway show “Good Night, and Good Luck,” in which he stars as renowned journalist Edward R. Murrow.

   Kelly accused the actor, who stated that “telling truth to power has to be waged like war,” of lecturing professional journalists.

   In a March episode of her podcast, Kelly fumed that Clooney “is not a journalist because he’s in ‘Good Night, and Good Luck.’”

   “George Clooney feels like he’s in the position to lecture all of us on how it’s done, how it ought to be done, after having been conspicuously silent for the last four years,” Kelly said.

3. Megyn is a Nazi.

4. “Journalism” “career”

5. Megyn Kelly is nothing more than an insufferable MAGA troll still desperate for attention and relevance. It’s utterly laughable that she thinks of herself as a journalist. She’s delusional and pathetic.

6. Megyn got paid an ungodly amount of money from NBC to fuck off. Money you could live on for the rest of your life and maybe another one. Yet she’s sticking around just being a hateful troll, and for what? You have it all.

7. Our media is entirely entertainment based. This is the state of journalism nowadays. 

8. That’s because she’s not a journalist.

   She’s a propagandist.

9. Right wing morons are always desperate to get a favorable interview. Doesn’t make you a journalist as much as an influencer

10. Kelly’s a lawyer by training and a pundit by practice.

    In no way whatsoever does she deserve by merits to be considered amongst investigative journalists.

    And that was all Clooney was saying.

    She’s an insufferable troll that got out trolled at the troll farm (Fox), and is desperate to be relevant. Thus the response.

11. She’s a journalist and Gayle King is an astronaut

12. She’s worse than simply “not a journalist”, she was a full-on lie peddling manipulative, paid propagandist masquerading as a journalist. The damage that she and the rest of fox news has done to journalism as a whole, in America and around the world is INCALCULABLE.

    She will go down in history as a Goebbels type of shithead. May she forever have to deal with criticism like this. I hope she lies awake in bed for the rest of her days, confused and angry.

13. Russian assist 🤦🏼‍♀️

14. What “journalism” career does Kelly have that he could even question, other than an absence of one?

15. That’s a really dumb blonde way of spelling Megan.

16. Update NY’s finest

17. She’s not a news person at all. It’s an opinion based show. I can’t honestly watch more than a few seconds of her she’s so off base.

18. She had a journalism career?

19. She bold face lied to Fox “News” viewers for years. Then tried to fight back against Trump’s blatant sexism/insults thinking no one would side with him… but then dialed that back when her audience did in fact side with Trump. Then she fled and tried to act legitimate over on MSNBC… but… you know… we remembered her career of lies. So that flopped. Then she ran to do some podcast last I heard. Why anyone would even entertain her I do not know?

    No one should listen to Kelly about Journalism outside of what NOT to do. If she thinks she can salvage some kind of legacy… I’ve got bad news for her. It’s not the legacy she’s going to want. History (hell the present) isn’t going to be kind. Her farcical career was recorded for all to see.

20. She was a journalist?

21. Justin Baldoni cult is currently praising megyn lmao she’s a fucking nazi

22. I hate to go after someone’s looks but Megyn looks like a person who is transitioning. Which way, I don’t know.

23. I mean she’s more of a journalist than Clooney is, but her fumbling that hard is saying something.

24. Touched a nerve apparently

25. Pretty despicable she left Fox because she was sexually assaulted and then goes fangirl for a rapist president

26. Megyn Kelly tried to make the jump from conservative media to liberal media……and you guys rejected her and called her names. You fools created her!!!!!

27. “career”

    “journalism”

28. I know this is entirely off topic, but Megyn is such a stupid fucking way of writing the name Megan. r/tragedeigh for sure

29. guess George was the horse whisperer during this interview!

30. Where to begin. Spending 15 years as a “journalist” at Fox News? Your “news” channel got sued to the tune of 787 million dollars for promoting false claims. It probably would have been more had it not come out in the Dominion case that Tucker Carlson and Sydney Powell messaged that no reasonable person should believe what they say. The only reason you had a job at Fox was because you dyed your hair blonde, were reasonably good looking, could speak in semi formed sentences and read whatever the fuck they put on the teleprompter. Do not believe for one instant that you are a real journalist. You are a fraud journalist who worked for a fraud network. Switched to NBC because apparently Mama got bills to pay and now you’re on a podcast. The last bastion of a career in the shitter. You are a shitty person. And a worse “journalist”.
