Megyn Kelly abruptly announces unplanned two-week vacation, effective immediately

The week following her aggressive questioning last Thursday of Republican front-runner Donald Trump has not been an easy one for Fox News’ Megyn Kelly.

From being called a “bimbo” to death threats to never being able to unthink this grotesquerie, there’s no debating that Kelly could use a more substantial vacation that than the three-day trip to the beach she earlier claimed to have embarked upon after the debate.............

State Dept. Shuts Down Fox's Anonymous Speculation Of Clinton Aides Stripping Email Classification Markings


Research August 14, 2015 1:26 PM EDT ››› MATT GERTZ & LIS POWER


Fox News spent much of August 13 running with speculation from an anonymous State Department official that aides to Hillary Clinton had "stripped" the classification markings from emails that she received in her private email server, going so far as to state the claim as fact and speculate on who had done the alleged deed. Later that day, the State Department said there was no evidence any stripping of classification markings had occurred.

State Dept.: No Evidence Classification Markers Were "Stripped" From Emails................

Megyn Kelly First Hyped "Big News" From Anonymous Source To Speculate That "A Clinton Insider" Stripped Classification Markings From Emails

Megyn Kelly: An Unnamed State Source Claimed A "Clinton Insider May Have Removed 'Top Secret' Markings." During the August 12 edition of The Kelly File, host Megyn Kelly claimed that an "unnamed State Department official" suggested that "a Clinton insider must have been the one to actively strip classification marking off" the emails. Fox senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano added that it was "possible, but extremely unlikely" that this was just an error in the Intelligence Community:

MEGYN KELLY: Big news in Hillary Clinton email scandal. Just before we came to air tonight, an unnamed State Department official telling Fox News that some of the nation's most sensitive, top secret information was communicated on Mrs. Clinton's server. It was highly classified at the time, contradicting one of the key arguments in team Clinton's defense. Also, another big development, this State Department source suggesting to Fox that a Clinton insider must have been the one to actively strip the classification markings off of the information before sending it, which is a felony, potentially punishable by serious prison time. Judge Andrew Napolitano is our Fox News senior judicial analyst, and Judge, I just want to clear it up for the viewers -- so this State Department official is saying, we now know at least one email was top, top, top, top secret, that the State Department doesn't have the capability to mark a document that way. So it had to come to State from someplace else in the Intelligence Community.

[...]

KELLY: Why are they so sure that happened? Why couldn't it be someone in the Intelligence Community screwed up, and didn't mark the documents classified.

personally stripped the markings out herself, during important meetings, using her smart phone, or whatever.

To beat the Republicans, ya gotta think like them and that is not only illogical, but hard to do.

exclusive to Fox and Kelly from an anonymous source that turned out to be very wrong very quickly ...then this "forced", or maybe not, going on vacation.

As tightly scripted as every millisecond on Fox and CNN, who definitely are not co-oridinating with each other or anyone else....so there!

WHAT will happen next, as the world turns, can you hardly wait!?

The drama....

ALL scripted!

And Racist Trump "firing" his campaign manager and now maybe hiring back?

Scripted. All of it.

And as for mass media and cable news breathless and oxygen-giving hourly coverage....well, folks are not stupid, and can make up their own minds what is real and what is not in the TV, right?
