Megyn Kelly, NBC Under Fire Over 'Sickening' Alex Jones Interview
Megyn Kelly, NBC Under Fire Over 'Sickening' Alex Jones Interview
Some are calling for a boycott of the network.
NBC News and Megyn Kelly are under fire for giving airtime to far-right radio show host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
In the past, Jones has claimed that the 9/11 attacks were an “inside job.” He also said the parents of the 20 students murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School... and the deaths of the children as well as six school employees were all faked.
Kelly previewed her interview with Jones on Sunday. The full episode airs June 18 on her new show.
Kelly was criticized on social media for what some saw as an attempt to normalize Jones and his outlandish and untrue claims. She defended herself by saying President Donald Trump had praised Jones and appeared on his show. She also noted that Jones’ InfoWars was given credibility when the site received White House press credentials.
“Many don’t know him; our job is 2 shine a light,” she wrote.
But that didn’t slow the outrage. Some viewers even called for a boycott of the network over the upcoming interview. Here’s a sampling:
Any story about Alex Jones should give equal time to victims and address his body count, including the people in prison bc they believed him

Two weeks after former Fox News Channel primetime star Megyn Kelly was torched for chiding cable news networks’ lack of civility in her NBC News debut, Kelly now is getting pounded for giving the NBC News platform to Sandy Hook truther/Donald Trump pal Alex Jones.
Kelly has defended the booking, scheduled for Sunday, insisting the public needs to know more about the man who has had Trump on his radio show, his InfoWars web program, and whose website is getting White House press credentials.
Hooey, critics shoot back, calling it a shameful ratings play, demanding NBC News pull the interview and putting the squeeze on Kelly’s Sunday newsmag advertisers, in service of which they’ve created hashtag #shameonNBC.
Jones is best known creator and public face of Infowars, in which he preaches that the federal government is behind the Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Towers and Pentagon, and the Sandy Hook Elementary School slaughter which he insists was staged. Oh, and the feds faked the moon landing.
