Megyn Kelly And O’Reilly Play Dumb About Why Ezekiel Emanuel Accused Fox News Of Sabotaging ObamaCare

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on November 15, 2013 · Flag

Megyn Kelly visited The O’Reilly Factor last night to smear Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel without the pesky inconvenience of having him there to respond. Kelly revisited her contentious interview with Emanuel of the night before – in which he repeatedly suggested that Fox News was in cahoots with Republicans on their mission to destroy Obamacare.

As I wrote in my post about the recent Kelly File segment with Emanuel:

Emanuel pointed out that when the exchanges were set up, it was “not an environment which was hospitable to setting (them) up.” As Kelly once again tried to interrupt, he added, “You and your colleagues were constantly criticizing, trying to underfund it and trying to make sure it didn’t work. …It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. ‘We’re gonna try to do everything we can to make it fail and then when it fails, we’re gonna say, ‘Oh, why did it fail?’”

Kelly protested, saying that Fox News had nothing to do with setting up the healthcare.gov website.

But Emanuel shot back, “You were constantly attacking the law and you were trying to make it underfunded.”

O’Reilly played this snippet from the discussion. “How on earth could Fox News underfund anything?" He asked.

“…He was sort of going off the rails at that point,” Kelly said. “Rather than coming out and just coming clean… and then ultimately, the old ‘blame someone else’ trick. …Including Fox!” She scrunched her nose in cute disbelief. “I mean, how is it Fox News’ fault?”

Oh, come on, guys. Neither O’Reilly nor Kelly is stupid. Don’t tell me neither of them understood what Emanuel was getting at. But maybe playing dumb – and deriding Emanuel for their own failure to deal with reality  - was better than having to deny or admit the truth: that Fox News is joined at the hip with the Republicans.

Talk about not coming clean, Ms. Megyn!

I guess you won’t have me tell my story on your TV shows.

Sorry, Barbie & Junior, but I successfully enrolled in ObamaCare today. Though you said my premiums would SKY-ROCKET, mine dropped over 80% under ACA. Deductible, and Max Out of Pocket dropped as well. No wonder Fox News watchers are the most mis-informed.

Barbie Kelly is getting too cozy with single Billy. If we were Douglas we keep an close eye on Billy.

Remind the masses of the hacking scandals in the U.K., and why Fox “News” mouthpieces refuse to air that story.

Outside of the usual mega-stupid teabaggers, is there anyone left who believes that Fux Noise is even remotely fair & balanced? As long as Jabba the Ailes remains in power, Fux Noise will remain the principal PR tool of the Repug Party.

Apparently, playing dumb is better than dealing with what Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel was actually saying about Fox News.
