Megyn Kelly rips into former employer Fox News for hosting GOP debate with 'leftist' Univision
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Megyn Kelly has come down hard on her former employer Fox News for hosting the second GOP Debate with media outlet Univision.
The 52-year-old thrashed Fox News for its “liberal framing” of the debate and allowing the GOP candidates to go off the hook quite easily.
Kelly also tore into one of the moderators of the debate, Ilia Calderon, calling her “that woman!” and exposing her ties to the left wing.
She also blamed Calderon for abandoning the “objectivity approach to journalism”
Kelly was furious at Fox News for allowing an organization like Univision in the debate.
However, it was later revealed that it was the decision of the Republican National Committee (RNC) to bring Univision as a partner.

Kelly had Eliana Johnson, co-host of the Ink-Stained Wretches podcast on ‘The Megyn Kelly Show’ to discuss the recently concluded second GOP Debate.
When asked about her opinions on the debate, Johnson clearly stated that it felt like a “general election debate” and the questions asked were "inappropriate for Republican primary voters”
Johnson said, “Another question was about gun safety. There was a third about LGBTQ plus Americans. And while all of those might be okay for a general election debate, these things just aren’t top of mind for conservative voters”
She added, “For that’s who this show is for. And so keep the audience in mind. And The New York Times today ran a glowing profile of that Univision anchor.”
Johnson concluded that “Univision retained editorial control over all of her [Calderon] questions” and it eventually turned out to be an utter failure.
This didn’t sit well with Kelly. She immediately blasted her former employer.
Kelly shouted in anger, “What on Earth was Fox thinking, partnering with Univision?!”
This opened a lid to critique Calderon who the rest of the media had been hailing.
Kelly continued, "That, that woman, Ilya Calderon, is a leftist who’s been partnering with Jorge Ramos, who more than anyone is responsible for the abandon objectivity approach to Donald Trump and journalism”
“I mean, they have almost singularly undermined the profession of journalism more than any other that I can think of off the top of my head”
She added, “And it was intentional! She’s his co-anchor! This is a leftist news organization that’s basically propaganda! They’ve been in partnership with the Clintons. It was like having Hillary Clinton out there, this woman’s questions.”
Kelly further added that Calderon’s "issue selection and the way in and out of the questions showed her bias time and time and time again”

After listening to Kelly’s rant, a fan said, “Fox has been dead to me since Tucker left.”
A second wrote, “The kids are running FOX now.”
Another viewer pointed out Calderon’s bias and said, “Yeah, I saw her bias immediately, and then it became more obvious with every question. Leave it to Fox to allow a left-wing Hispanic to moderate a republican debate.”
Another one added, “STOP WATCHING FOX NEWS!!!!! Can't say it enough or loud enough”
One fan said, “Fox is moving to Centre left”
