Megyn Kelly calls out CBS reporter’s biased journalism

One of corporate media’s most notorious Trump critics faced a harsh reality check from Megyn Kelly following her complaints about the industry’s declining influence.
CBS’s Lesley Stahl, who conducted a contentious pre-2020 election interview with then-President Trump on “60 Minutes,” recently expressed her concerns about media’s future during a conversation with Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan.

“We’re way down there with the lawyers,” she whimpered. “We’re way down there with Congress.”
“I’m extremely worried about the press. I despair. I worry greatly,” she added. “I’m very dark about it.”
This prompted a fierce response from Kelly on her podcast, where she systematically addressed Stahl’s journalistic missteps.
“I have a lot of suggestions for you, Lesley,” Kelly began. “Should we go over them?”
“Like maybe don’t say the laptop can’t be verified when it can. And then when your own organization verifies it, come out and do a mea culpa and admit you embarrassed yourself,” she added.
Kelly highlighted Stahl’s earlier dismissal of Trump’s claims about campaign surveillance during their “60 Minutes” interview, despite subsequent evidence supporting these allegations. She also criticized CBS’s handling of their Kamala Harris interview.
“Maybe don’t stealth edit the Democratic presidential candidate’s interview with ’60 Minutes,’ your flagship program that you’re an anchor of, without telling us, and then when it becomes a controversy, refuse to release the transcript because you’re more interested in running cover for the Dems than you are in honest reporting,” she exclaimed.
No, Lesley illiterate Stahl, the American people have relegated you to the dustbin of history

Kelly concluded by addressing Stahl’s moderation of the vice-presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz.
“Maybe don’t host a vice-presidential debate where you fact-check only one side. And then when your fact check gets fact-checked by the vice-presidential candidate on the Republican side, you cut his mic!” Kelly roared.
“Just a few thoughts off the top of my head on what you can do about it.”
