MEGYN KELLY (HOST): And here’s part of the problem, is the media, right? Because if you are a Republican who still watches television news, all you watch is Fox, Jesse. That’s all you watch. And you will not find a dissenting voice on Fox News.
…
I love Will Cain, and he’s an honest broker. But he’s the only one who’s tried to ask a couple skeptical questions, like, this isn’t great. Everybody else is cheerleading the war.
So Republican voters who are older voters, but they are the ones who actually go to the polls, all think it’s going swimmingly. That’s what they believe because that’s what they’re being told every night by Sean Hannity. I mean, his show is full propaganda with [Sen.] Lindsey Graham every night, [Sen.] Tom Cotton, you know, all these big cheerleaders for the war.
And then you’ve got — let me know when we have it — the one time one guy tried to ask a dissenting question, he got his hand slapped by Gen. Jack Keane, who I also really — I love Gen. Keane, but he’s you know, show the hammer, the nail. Wait. What is it? To a hammer, everything’s a nail. Of course, he’s in favor of this action.
And to me, it’s just evidence of the media problem we’re having when you look at the Republican numbers.
…
I just want to say two things. I like both of those guys a lot. Gen. Jack Keane is a fucking badass. He’s like — he is a grizzled, you know, general there.
I love him. I’ve talked to him 10,000 times on my shows on Fox, and I respect him. And I love Will Cain. I think he’s actually one of the greatest things Fox has right now. But the fact that he felt so uncomfortable challenging Gen. Keane on that question tells you everything you need to know about the dynamic inside Fox. Because Will is not a coward. Will is actually quite strong, but he knew he was on thin ice going there because the bosses would not like this.
And by the way, my information is that they didn’t. They didn’t like it.
And Jack Keane was kind of fun because he’s like, spit it out, son. You know, this grizzled general doesn’t like something. I appreciate the dynamic there, but to me, this is all #partoftheproblem.
