“#Megyn Kelly partially blamed CNN, media<\/a> for Capitol riot<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Megyn Kelly argued CNN and other media outlets partially share responsibility for the Jan. 6 deadly riot at the US Capitol \u2014 claiming the public \u201clost trust\u201d in what she characterized as a lack of objective reporting of former President Trump.<\/p>\n

Kelly, who left Fox News<\/a> in 2017 following a feud with Trump, argued networks are to blame for \u201ca complete lack of trust,\u201d in the controversial interview with \u201cBBC Newsnight\u201d Saturday, according to video of the exchange posted by the Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of the reason we saw what happ<\/a>ened at the Capitol here two weeks ago is because there had been a complete lack of trust in the media, and people don\u2019t know where to turn for true information, they don\u2019t trust the media anymore. And it\u2019s a major problem,\u201d Kelly told the British network.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey hated him so much, they checked their objectivity, and it wasn\u2019t just CNN, all of them did. They just couldn\u2019t check their own personal feelings about him,\u201d Kelly said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe media destroyed itself, but Trump certainly helped. He sort of set a trap that walked right into and it worked really well,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said many reporters followed the \u201cJorge Ramos theory of covering Trump,\u201d by describing Trump\u2019s comments as racist and misogynist.<\/p>\n

\u2018I remember listening to all of [Trump\u2019s] disparaging comments about CNN when he first became a national figure as a presidential candidate, and I watched a lot of CNN even though I was on Fox. And I was like this is unfair. CNN may be a little boring, but it\u2019s fair and it\u2019s factual. It\u2019s not biased against Trump. Then they spent the next four years proving him right \u2013 proving me wrong,\u201d Kelly continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could have a little less crazy rhetoric from the White House, but it\u2019s not going to change how divided we are here in America because Trump was the symptom of those divisions, not the cause of them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Kelly, who was fired from NBC News<\/a> in 2018 for controversial comments about blackface, was swiftly rebuked by many on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry but I\u2019ve never heard anything so ridiculous as Megyn Kelly saying on BBC Newsnight that Trump mobs attacked the Capitol because they didn\u2019t trust the media \u2014 not Trump lying that the election was stolen,\u201d tweeted<\/a> British journalist Hugo Lowell.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other twitter users agreed with the news anchor turned podcast host<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis from @megynkelly<\/a> is so spot on. The media poisoned the faith in them to present unvarnished news thanks to their blatantly biased coverage of Trump. Now, with Biden, the opposite will be true. There will be no objective scrutiny and reporting,\u201d one user tweeted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump was impeached by Congress for a historic second time on Jan. 13 on the charge that he incited the mob in the deadly siege.<\/p>\n

The article of impeachment will be sent to the Senate Monday, clearing the way for a trial.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
