Megyn Kelly: Certain Pro-Trump Hosts Were Just Acting When They Asked Him Tough Questions

video @ link....(the relevant part starts at the 2-minute mark)

Howard Kurtz spoke with his Fox colleague Megyn Kelly this morning about her book Settle for More, and he picked up on one detail that hasn’t received much press attention.

Kurtz recounts from her book the charge that there were pro-Donald Trump TV hosts who “would arrange with Trump in advance to ask him certain critical questions or do certain hits on him so they would appear to have some credibility.”

He asked if she means they were “play-acting.” Kelly responded, “Yes. It was acting.”

She confirmed it happened at more than one network, but could not divulge any more information. “But trust me,” she added, ‘this did happen, and it’s been confirmed to me by more than one television executive.”

4. update: one reporter fires back!

Apparently one such “certain host” apparently knew exactly who Kelly was accusing of being in the tank for Trump—and took to Twitter to defend himself.

Yep, Sean Hannity.

Hannity was roundly criticized throughout the campaign for his unabashed fawning over The Donald. The fiery host was even reprimanded by Fox News in September—for appearing in a Trump campaign video. He was ordered by Fox to cease and desist.

In response to Kelly, he put up his best “Who, me? You gotta be kidding!” defense.
