Megyn Kelly To Media Matters’ Private Eyes: You’ll Just Catch Me Watching Downton Abbey
As America Live‘s Megyn Kelly reported Friday afternoon, some congressional Republicans want to take a closer look at Media Matters’ tax-exempt status, particularly given the news that, according to internal memos, the group had discussed paying private investigators to look into the personal lives of Fox News employees, both on-camera personalities and those working behind the scenes.
Fox News’ Doug McKelway joked that he’d have to wear a Grouch Marx costume to avoid detection when leaving the building, adding that Media Matters will not offer any interviews about The Daily Caller’s investigation into its practices and funding until after the group’s forthcoming book, The Fox Effect, is released.
The group, he continues is classified as a 501(c)(3), participating in such activities as “attempting to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities” or “participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates” could challenge its status. Then again, as McKelway points out, James O’Keefe‘s conservative group Project Veritas is also a 501(c)(3) and participates in similar activities.
Kelly offered to save Media Matters donors some money: all they’re going to catch her doing is sitting on the couch and watching Downton Abbey.
