This afternoon on America Live, Megyn Kelly interviewed Rick Santorum, the long-shot Republican presidential candidate with barely any support who, according to the segment's premise, isn't getting enough media attention.

Like any “hard news” journalist would, Kelly told Santorum how she thinks he is “an incredibly nice guy” who “look[s] out for other people,” and contrasted her sunny opinion of the Republican politician with that of her gay and lesbian friends, who apparently don't care for Santorum because he called gay marriage “wrong” and “destructive of the family.” So, said Kelly: “I want to give you the opportunity to speak to those people now to explain why they should not feel that way about you.”

If only gay people knew Rick Santorum like objective journalist Megyn Kelly knows Rick Santorum. Perhaps they might not be so quick to judge the man who likened them to zoophiles and sex offenders.
