Questions have persisted about the decision by Fox News to partner with Univision for the second 2024 Republican Presidential debate. SiriusXM host Megyn Kelly has joined the growing list of detractors.
During The Megyn Kelly Show Thursday, the former Fox News host questioned her former network would choose to partner with an outlet like Univision.
“What on earth was Fox thinking in partnering with Univision? That woman, Ilia Calderón, is a leftist who has been partnering with Jorge Ramos, who — more than anyone — is responsible for the abandoned objectivity approach to Donald Trump and to journalism. They have almost singularly undermined the profession of journalism, more than any other that I can think of off the top of my head,” said Kelly. “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.
“I’ve anchored five presidential debates in the GOP primary field, and you can go out there and it’s perfectly fine to say, ‘Hey, here’s an issue that’s going to be a problem for you if you’re the nominee’. When you get to the general, you can do that. ‘You’re too extreme for moderates on abortion. What say you? Is that true or not?’ That’s okay,” Megyn Kelly continued. “We’ve been doing that from time immemorial. But the issue selection and the way in and out of the questions showed her bias time and time again.”
In reality, the Republican National Committee, not Fox News, was responsible for Univision’s inclusion in the debate Wednesday.
