Megyn Kelly could not believe what she was seeing.
Kelly and other conservatives never thought Fox News would back down in such a manner.
And all hell broke loose when Megyn Kelly called out Fox News for this huge surrender to Joe Biden.
Megyn Kelly was furious that Fox News backed down to Joe Biden icing Fox News out of a Super Bowl Sunday interview.
Joe Biden refused to partake in the traditional Super Bowl pregame interview because Fox broadcast the game and wanted Biden to answer questions from an actual journalist.
“We offered an interview with our top news anchors with no strings attached—they’re walking away from a huge audience and it’s a major missed opportunity,” a Fox News official told Variety.
The Daily Beast reported that Fox then canceled Biden’s interview with Fox Soul — the network’s streaming channel aimed at black viewers — after Biden refused to sit for an interview with actual journalists that planned to ask Biden real questions.
“A White House official told The Daily Beast that the administration had locked in a pre-game interview with Fox Sports host Mike Hill and actress Vivica A. Fox, who hosts several programs on Fox Soul, the Fox Corp-owned streaming channel aimed at Black audiences. According to this official, the interview was set to air on Fox Soul on Sunday and could have been shared across Fox platforms, but the parent company nixed it. Fox Corp. didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment,” The Daily Beast reported.
Joe Biden’s handlers won’t allow him to leave the ideological cocoon of liberal corporate media outfits due to the knowledge that Fox won’t allow scripted question-and-answers like at Biden’s press conferences.
Real journalists would ask Biden tough questions about the failure to secure the southern border, stealing classified documents, refusing to shoot down a Communist Chinese spy balloon, and his involvement in Hunter Biden’s alleged crimes and foreign business deals.
But even though Fox had all the leverage — Fox is the one whose Super Bowl pregame show broadcast will reach tens of millions of viewers — Fox backed down to Biden’s demand and allowed the Fox Soul interview to proceed.
“After the White House reached out to FOX Soul Thursday evening, there was some initial confusion. FOX Soul looks forward to interviewing the President for Super Bowl Sunday,” a Fox Corp. spokesperson told The Daily Beast.
Megyn Kelly ripped her former employer for caving in.
Kelly wrote on social media:
Total win for Biden WH. They get huge audience w/o the FNC anchors (who are excellent & seasoned at political interviews which is partly why WH wants to avoid – that plus their base hates FNC). Stunned Fox caved & is allowing this snub.
Per Daily Beast: the Biden Super Bowl interview is back on and Fox corporate is allowing Fox Sports and an actress from Fox Soul to conduct. Not FNC anchors. Unbelievable.
During Donald Trump’s presidency members of the corporate media would shriek that democracy was under direct assault if Trump criticized the media.
Here, Joe Biden is deliberately sidelining the one outlet that holds his administration to account.
And the only one complaining is Megyn Kelly.
