Megyn Kelly Asks ‘Did CBS Use Justin Bieber To Smear Tea Party?’
The executives behind CBS’ hit cop drama CSI had a rather (evil?) genius idea for their season premier when they cast teen heartthrob Justin Bieber to play a troubled kid involved in a Tea Party-esque conspiracy. Not only did they help their ratings by likely addign loads of adoring teenage eyeballs, but they also knew that a news media outlet would provide free publicity surrounding the “controversy.” Enter Megyn Kelly, host of Fox News’ America Live, who did just that for a “fair and balanced” debate over the alleged Bieber exploitation by CBS.
In Kelly’s defense, she seems very self-aware in raising the ostensibly absurd topic. On the right she had on Lars Larson who alleged that this was a classic example of Hollywood script writers to “demonize average Americans.” Representing the left she had Leslie Marshall who defended the casting by saying that it was nothing more than a ratings stunt.
