Fox’s Megyn Kelly Has A Problem With ‘Coronal Mass Ejection’
Sometimes being a news anchor is hard. I mean, you have to say a lot of tough stuff on live television. Seriously. You try to pronounce the names of random Middle Eastern dictators knowing that millions of people are watching you. And, in addition to mass-murderers’ multi-syllabic monickers, there’s also science stuff to worry about. Take for example Megyn Kelly’s struggle today with the term “Coronal Mass Ejection,” which is a burst of charged particles and magnetic fields. Unlike us bloggers, Kelly can’t just copy and paste the darn thing, so she had to say it out loud.
Fox News Segment Calls Out Increased Personal Wealth Of Congressional Reps
fter watching much of the opinion coverage Fox News has done on Occupy Wall Street, you could be forgiven for thinking that critiquing the rich is a sin against man. Seriously, I’m pretty sure the phrase “class warfare” has been said more times on that network in the past few months than “this just in.” But a recent report from the Washington Post and University of Michigan that shows that the median net worth of Congress members has skyrocketed in the past year has raised some FNC producer’s dander (as well it should.) The figures are astounding.
Megyn Kelly Admits To Shoplifting Past: ‘My Best Friend Made Me Do It!’
Megyn Kelly made a bold confession on her Fox News program this afternoon, revealing that she was caught shoplifting at a Kmart when she was a teenager. “I have to tell you when I was 12 years old, I shoplifted,” Kelly admitted. Correspondent Trace Gallagher stunnedly gasped. “What?!” “I got caught shoplifting at a Kmart…It was really my then best friend that made me do it.” Kelly explained.
Shep Smith On Falling Satellite Report: ‘This Is The Stupidest Thing We’ve Ever Done’
There’s really nothing funnier than a news anchor clearly not caring about the story he’s being asked to report. Recent examples have starred the likes of Bob Beckel and Don Lemon, and now we can add to that list one Shepard Smith.
Apparently some in the media are trying to turn the re-entry of a dead NASA satellite (the size of a bus) into Skylab 2.0. However, Smith could only get a few sentences into his report on the (infinitesimally small) chances of getting hit by pieces of the falling craft before stopping and declaring the story “the stupidest thing we’ve ever done!
Naipolishgate Continues: Jennifer Lopez’s Son Also Wants To Paint His Nails
Other media outlets (including the Today show) and celebrities have been weighing in on the ad, including… American Idol host Jennifer Lopez. We know, right? Finally.
In an interview with People‘s 2011 “Most Beautiful” issue, Lopez shares that her son also wants to have his nails painted.
Fox News Tackles J. Crew ‘Gender Bending’ Pink Nail Polish Ad
Yesterday, we told you about a Tweet sent by Fox News’ official account, asking followers whether or not a J. Crew email ad showing a woman painting her son’s nails pink was “crossing the line.”
Today, America Live decided to tackle the same question by bringing on Trace Gallagher, himself a father of two girls, who shared that he wasn’t even sure he’d allow his daughters to wear hot pink nailpolish. The show noted that “some parents” are “outraged” over the ad.
LA County Bans Plastic Bags, Fox News Wonders What Will Happen To All The Dog Poop
Los Angeles County, yesterday, approved a measure to ban single-use plastic bags for the sake of the environment. In covering the story, Fox News’ Shannon Bream (in for Megyn Kelly) and Trace Gallagher asked the tough question, namely, how’re people going to pick up dog poop? As usually happens when a major news network spends a minute discussing poop, I was ready to write a whole bunch of snarky jokes and then call it a day. But then, something happened. I realized it was a pretty good question.
Megyn Kelly Enjoys An Uncontrollable Giggle Fit Live And On Air
Fox News reporter Trace Gallagher had just filed a report about a North Carolina woman who had been brought back to life after her heart had stopped for 15 minutes when he tossed back to America Live host Megyn Kelly. The astonished Fox News host tried hard to wrap her head around his explanation, and somehow arrived at the hope one can divine from this story – that having your spouse stuff you in the freezer could one day save your life. Sound funny? Maybe – but not nearly as funny as Kelly found it.
Military Jets Escort Passenger Jet To JFK Airport UPDATE
Fox News’ Trace Gallagher just reported that two F-15 military jets are currently escorting a commercial passenger airliner coming in from Canadian airspace into JFK airport. The flight is reported to have originated in Yemen, laid over in United Arab Emirates and is now entering American airspace. This, on a day when there may have been a possible terrorist attempt, or trial run, that has lead to a number quarantined airplanes and inspections of numerous cargo planes around the country.
Miss USA Photos So Scandalous, Fox News Can Only Show Them Just Once! (Or…More)
According to anchor Gregg Jarrett, the lingerie photos that have come from the Miss USA pageant are “so out of bounds” that the legal team at Fox News only allowed him “to show them one time.” Should they not be shown at all? Or, was this just some aggressively titillating tease writing on Fox News? Looks like its that later, as it appears that the photos showed up on Fox and Friends this morning. Shocker!
