MS MEGYN K LEANING RIGHT?

Listened to an interview with Fox News Megyn Kelly this morning. Though not a supporter of her point of view on some issues; still she is intelligent, witty and very savvy about the world and politics.  I guess I might be slightly offended by her comment that she pictures her audience as women at the end of a hard day of child raising or work or both, sitting back with a glass of chardonnay wanting to digest the day's news without a "whole lot thinking about it" (my interpretation of what she said).  I object to the glass of Chardonnay rather than Merlot as being so "feminine" but that's just me.  Oh yeah, the no thinking part was a little off-putting but then all newscasts attempt to do that, so strictly speaking not exactly a flaw.

I do appreciate that she stood up to Donald Trump and has not lowered herself to his level of insults. He has proven himself a coward where she has shown class and grit in ignoring his opinions on women in general which should offend all. In fact, she said she would welcome him on her show with or without an apology. In that, I totally relate. There have been many times in my career where the level of insensitivity and personal offense needed to be ignored so that I could do my job and move forward.

However when asked whether she believed Fox news has a conservative bias, she disagreed with Charlie Rose of all people. Though she did say she would love to be on a show with herself, Charlie and Oprah.  Now that would be worth watching! So again she is open to other opinions while being able to support of her own which I admire.  She also stated that most news had a left leaning bias  Well of course Ms Megyn and I thank our wonderful 1st amendment for allowing that to occur.  The establishment (read that as the rich and powerful) would rather all us plebes embrace what they say so as not to, dare we say, rebel against the establishment thus rocking the throne on which they sit. Establishment means "conservative".  Any ideas outside of that conservatism has been punished throughout history from burning non-believers at the stake, labeling scientists as heretics and allowing fascist and dictator regimes to exist in the modern world.

Any ideas presented outside of the conservative view are considered dangerous and radical as the "people" may get ideas that they are as good as the privileged few and worthy of respect and a decent life.  Of course all is not perfect on the left, but thinking people need to hear many opinions and be exposed to all pertinent information that may have bearing on a situation or idea. So thank you "other than Fox News" and "CNBC" for being left leaning. When we attempt to muzzle communication that does not follow the conservative party line, just because it is different, we assist in forging the very chains that lead us into another dark age of ignorance.
