Megyn Kelly Says We Are a Bunch of Humorless Race Baiters for not Getting Her Joke
Here's my question: Why Is Megyn Kelly Still On The Air And Martin Bashir Isn't?By: Hrafnkell Haraldsson
Megyn Kelly took a day off from her show "The Kelly File" to think about how she wanted to respond to the furor she had caused by saying Jesus and St. Nick were white guys.
After some no doubt weighty reflection, she decided, and came back Friday not to apologize for being a not-very-bright racist but to tell us all that because we did not recognize her "lighthearted" and "off-hand jest" Wednesday for what it was, we don't have a sense of humor – oh, and that we're just a bunch of race baiters taking cheap shots at "powerful" Fox News.
Yes, as you no doubt all suspected all along, it was us humorless "libruls" getting the black folks riled up, and you know how much cranky old conservative whitey hates and fears riled up black folks. They've tried for years to push Obama into this sort of "riled up" reaction so he can justify their fears, and Megyn Kelly didn't hesitate to blame the victim Friday night.
In kicking off the lighthearted segment, I offered a tongue-in-cheek message for any kids watching, saying that Santa, who I joked is a real person whose race is identifiable, is white.
I realize that the piece by Harris, that went on to argue that Santa should be a ‘penguin' was also tongue in cheek. That's part of why we covered the story in the first place — humor is a part of what we try to bring to this show, but sometimes that's lost on the humorless.
Cue the firestorm of controversy over my declaring Santa's skin color, many questioning whether I understand Santa is a mythical figure. Others suggesting I am a racist who is outraged at the idea of a white Santa.
(Cue Kelly presenting a bunch of black people daring to be offended by Kelly's little joke)
Well, this would be funny if it were not so telling about our society, in particular the knee-jerk instinct by so may to race bait and to assume the worst in people. Especially people employed by the very powerful Fox News channel.

I wasn't aware that an anchor of a highly rated "news" program was a would-be comedian. At least not intentionally 
It's simply more difficult to replace someone with over 2 million viewers than it is for someone who has less than 200,000, regardless of what time slot they're in and regardless of whether they're up against each other in a time slot.
As for Bashir's dismissal, I don't think it has anything to do with MSNBC giving in to some kind of corporate conspiracy to keep liberals off the air. If that were true, why are all the other primetime hosts on that channel still on the air?
I don't watch any of them. Can't stand Fox and MSNBC.
By the way, the old saying "comparing apples and oranges" never made sense. Compare means to find similarities and differences. So you can indeed compare apples and oranges.
