      Then perhaps you shouldn't comment on it until you do, Megyn.

      Of course you don't, because you haven't taken the time to become informed. Good thing you're a newscaster on a news network talking about this law.

      This is nothing new... why are these guys acting like this process has always been so simple and easy to follow.

      it's always been this way but this is the first time they are really paying attention.

      Nothing's changed in this process, it's always been this way. Stop trying to portray this congress as especially bad... it's been this way the last 20 years of my adult life

          I presume it's been the same, but I've only been following politics since I was 18 years old, and 20 is rounding down....(I hate getting old)

      So is Megyn Kelly supposed to be one of the good, unbiased real journalists on Fox, or is she one of the bad opinion people?

      This woman is an attorney who worked for the very prestigious Jones Day law firm. They don't hire dolts.

      She understands EXACTLY what this proposed law says.

      Nothing worse than a woman pretending to be a dumb blonde when she is, most likely, neither of those things.

        You nailed it. She knows exactly what they are talking about. And, judging by those roots, she's no blonde.

        The funny/sad thing is; the audience is going to agree with her. Ignorance-fear-hatred. If I don't understand it, it must be bad. I don't like bad things.

        Congress people on the right complain that the health care bill is 2700 pages long. Then they complain that health care is 1/7 of the economy. Yes it is. Hence the big bill that took over a year to create. That you were invited many times to participate in. That you pigheadedly refused to do. That got a bunch of what you wanted in it anyway.

        I don't think she's pretending. Lawyers do not have to study how to put together legislation. I find it truly enlightening to see this entire process, out in the open, just as the Democrats promised it would be. I would like to see more bills given the same scrutiny.

        Of course, Fox could care less what's in the bill. They are terribly upset that Obama is getting a big victory. She may be completely confused because everyone on that station has been saying for months that the bill would never pass. They are all undergoing a brain readjustment.

          I will disagree. If she was hired by the Jones Day firm, she is an intelligent woman. She's playing dumb.

          I agree... she's playing dumb because Fox has a narrative to sell and smart female newscasters aren't part of that narrative.

        I don't know, bintx. It may be that working for Fox steadily erodes one's brain cells if you're a Republican, and if you're not (witness Alan Colmes and Juan Williams), working there simply erodes your manhood.

      Ms. Kelly has to ''dumb down'' so the Fox viewers will think she is one of them. I'll bet she doesn't have to worry about how she'll pay for her insurance premium. I watched that interview and I was stunned.

      I heard a commercial this morning on my local Beck carrying talk radio station and they said "America with Megyn Kelly: The only show that puts out both sides." Has anyone else heard this ad, I laughed.

      Megyn is so very expressive with her face. I enjoy seeing her go thought them all! I love the Smug, I know BETTER FACE !
      I enjoy Megyn, when she shouts over whom ever she is talking with!

      Is it a policy that all Fox mews Personalities DO THE SHOUTING THING.. when they lose control of interview ?

        I would say affirmative to that strategy. It works twofold...it marginalizes the person who busts them and it makes them look tough, which is the illusion that their insecure, fear-based audience is desperately reaching for.

      Kelly's attitude---from looking pi$$ed-off to angry astonishment---reminds me of someone without a receipt arguing unsuccessfully with a store clerk for a full refund.
