Fox News’ Megyn Kelly warned viewers Monday night that her upcoming, exclusive sit-down with Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar might not be as “tough” as the hosts of The View and others have predicted it will be.
“I’ll take that reputation as a tough but fair journalist,” Kelly said. “However, this isn’t going to be a cross-examination of a family. It’s going to be an interview. I want to hear their story. And I think America wants to hear their story now.” “Nothing is off limits,” Kelly said of the Wednesday night interview.
But, she added, “I don’t plan on getting into the specific details about what was done, because my understanding is the victims don’t want to discuss that either.”
So pretty much as we all suspected.
After all why would the Duggars go on if they did not know that Fox was going to coddle them, and allow them to spin their story to make it seem that THEY are the victims?
And remember this is a family that even a Christian PR firm refused to take on as a client.
why bother? (either from her end, or ours)
ReplyDelete“I’ll take that reputation as a tough but fair journalist,”
ReplyDeleteShe'll take it from where? A kinder surprise?
LOL - for real.
Delete"One of our 19, so far, children molested some of our other children. Thanks, Obama."
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing this grifter family will not do for money. Why would you grant an interview to anyone? Because you get paid...I guess all the pain the family is going through can be helped along with a little FOX cash
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Next they'll have a GOFUNDME, FUNDIES page because boo hoo, their show got cancelled and no one inn the family has any marketable skills at all. Guess Michelle could sell her womb as a surrogate.
DeleteIf I knew nothing about the Duggars, that face on the Mrs. would make me throw up. Who would have ever trusted these cover up artists? They look creepy and cray.

Who knows how many of those kids are the result of THEIR incestous "relationships." SMH
DeleteWhat would Jesus do?
DeleteNever mind.
What about the face on that Mr.!!!!! Double icky ick!! Breeders,only.
DeleteSpeaking of pedifiles. How about that palin/heathen family tree??

ReplyDeleteA moment of candor with a Cub Scout [see video below] could force the governor to provide records of the $1 million his protectors charged.

It's going to be an hour of conservative Christians boo-hooing on FOX about being persecuted for their religious beliefs. Anybody who thought that Megyn or FOX was going to do anything that might potentially alienate Duggar supporters is extremely naive.
ReplyDeleteThe comment I made on Sarah Has A Serpent's Heart
Delete"Ye gods and little fishes! (Minnesota saying..)
Because Megyn "Caustic" Kelly is a lawboy, she will spin a tall defense by using a giant offense.
Bet the offense smacks of persecuting those home-schooled Christians everywhere in America today. And how we should have forgiveness in our hearts for pure Quiverful perverts no matter what millions they make on their ungodly awful teevee series.
I think the whole lot should be sequestered in a LGBT community for life with gags on 24/7.
Next to methadone centers and abortion clinics."
I think, Aunt Ethel, that we might not be too far off the mark.
Had these people known or were associated in ANY way with our president they would not be kissing their ass. Shame on FAUX news..they go lower and lower and lower...no wonder all these pedophiles get away with it some many times....IT's criminals like the chiold-loving-GOP and FOX who make it possible.
ReplyDeleteIANAL but
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly is the mandatory reporter law in Arkansas?
Was the law different when Josh Duggar committed his crimes?
IANAL
one online link is http://law.justia.com/codes/arkansas/2010/title-12/subtitle-2/chapter-18/subchapter-4/12-18-402
Chapter 18 - Child Maltreatment Act
Subchapter 4 - Reporting Suspected Child Maltreatment
§ 12-18-402 - Mandated reporters.
12-18-402. Mandated reporters.
(a) An individual listed as a mandated reporter under subsection (b) of this section shall immediately notify the Child Abuse Hotline if he or she:
(1) Has reasonable cause to suspect that a child has:
(A) Been subjected to child maltreatment; or
(B) Died as a result of child maltreatment; or
(2) Observes a child being subjected to conditions or circumstances that would reasonably result in child maltreatment.
(b) The following individuals are mandated reporters under this chapter:
(1) A child care worker or foster care worker;
a long list continues to something I found interesting
"(29) A clergy member, which includes a minister, priest, rabbi, accredited Christian Science practitioner, or other similar functionary of a religious organization, or an individual reasonably believed to be so by the person consulting him or her, except to the extent the clergy member:
(A) Has acquired knowledge of suspected child maltreatment through communications required to be kept confidential pursuant to the religious discipline of the relevant denomination or faith; or
(B) Received the knowledge of the suspected child maltreatment from the alleged offender in the context of a statement of admission;"
Again IANAL, I don't know if this is the current law or if it was the law at the time of the Josh Duggar crimes.
Still, that sure looks like a big confessional loophole. Wonder how and why that ended up in the law, if it is in the law.
Keep talking Duggars and Duggar huggers. The more you talk the more we know.
Hey, Bimbo, America KNOWS their story already. Their teenager repeatedly molests their sleeping daughters, and gets sent away to a swell guy who likes porn, and then repents, so all is well. We want to know when you knew about it, and why no one talks about what happened to the victims? Did they talk to anyone outside 'the family?' Bet not. Bet they were on their knees forgiving big brother, and blaming themselves for tempting him. Nice work, 'journalist.'
ReplyDeleteI believe that was kiddie porn.
DeleteIt was kiddie porn.
DeleteThey've probably already hired Josh as a Family Values Correspondent, and they don't want to mess that up by asking difficult questions.
ReplyDeleteGee, Sarah. Why don't you tell tales about your family's shenanigans? It might get you back on Faux News.
ReplyDelete"I lurv you Jimmy Joe Bobby Wayne Cletus Digger Dugger fer puttin' a buncha babbies in my babby holder in the name of Jeebus, Ahmenss, and also too munnies and TV."
ReplyDeleteCaption for that photo.
LOL.
DeleteThat was what I was thinking too. She's still fall all over herself grateful he has sex with her.
What I really want to see is her get rid of that 70s gypsy shag haircut. It's 35 years out of date.
Love it!
DeleteWell, what did anyone expect? After all, Fox Noose dedicated a whole sentence and a half to the topic, while MSNBS and ABC devoted a couple of hours. (Don't remember where I saw the graphic just last week.)
ReplyDeleteWasn't Huckabee enough?
ReplyDeleteI guess, since TLC cancelled their series, now Faux Noise will host them.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've read, TLC hasn't cancelled their show, they've just temporarily pulled it from the schedule. They are really, really hoping that this will all go away. If that doesn't work, there is talk of retooling the show to focus on the married daughters and their families.
DeleteThe Duggar tv show has made TLC a lot of money and they are hesitant to get rid of their cash cow.
If they haven't cancelled it yet they will. Or rather they will just fail to renew it.
DeleteThey can't get any sponsors. They've all pulled out and no one wants to touch it with a ten foot pole.
There is NO defending Josh Duggar or this show.
They are considering a spin off with the two oldest girls but I doubt that will fly either.
The Duggar name is akin to Satan and Bin Laden. Everyone wants them just to go away and crawl into a hole and pull the dirt over.
I hope there is a taint to anything and anyone having to do with quiverfull and ATI.
DeleteThis family maybe its normal to them. You know some people don't know real normal. Ewe, creeps.
ReplyDeleteHills have eyes.
Who needs to find a willing PR firm when Fox News will give you a platform and a megaphone?
ReplyDeleteI threw up a little when I saw the picture with this post. The expression on Michelle Duggar's face is cringe-worthy. OMG. Stepford wife or what? If any one of my kids were molested by anyone, that molester might find a few body parts missing. He would definitely learn to sleep with one eye open - in prison. There is NO EXCUSE for such behaviour that is acceptable. Josh would have been out of the house in a heartbeat. And the girls would be the ones in therapy - victim services. But, then again, I wouldn't have been popping out a quiver full of kids in the first place.
ReplyDeleteThe records were sealed because Josh and all his victims were minors. Fox is covering their assets because the Duggars can sue the office that released them to the magazine. Fox does not want to be sued. Also the Duggars are close to Mike Huckabee who is a good friend to Megyn. I think the illegal disclosure will highlight the interview.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have read, the records were not sealed nor required to be sealed.
DeleteCan't stand that look on Michelle's face, rapturously beaming as she looks upon Jim's face.
ReplyDeleteAnother photo that's going around is Josh and his wife and kids on his knee, and the wife giving that same sickening Stepford Wife yearning look at her husband.
His wife looks like his sister..is it his sister?
DeleteTurd-polishing even, think I'll miss it.
ReplyDeleteWe in the 21st century are witnessing a new thing for the first time, a cult so large and powerful they actually broadcast their crazyness: Fox News.
ReplyDeleteCalling itself a "news source" and "fair and balanced" are lies so ironic as to be blatantly obvious to any and everyone outside the cult.
But - as with every cult - those within believe it, and as with every cult, the first thing they tell you is that everyone else is lying.
EWWWW! The "Diggers" are gross!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with faux news and these demented pedophilia families they present under the guise of "family values"?!! Palin/heath(chuckles and chuckles jr, the dilingham line..bred to ooo close)),honey boo boo(the boyfriend),duggers (the son). Whatever happened to Protecting your children from the family predator?? Xtian, my assss! More like Freaks and child molestors.
ReplyDelete“I’ll take that reputation as a tough but fair journalist,” Kelly said.
ReplyDeleteMegyn, honey, no one ever called you that. How about you quit makin' stuff up?
She was quoting Whoopi and the one republican on The View. They did call her that.
DeleteI like how she took a dig at Bill Clinton to defend herself against charges she'll lob softballs at the Duggars. 'Bill Clinton was accused of rape.' Really? Accused but never charged never convicted. She's disgusting and is just catering to the evangelical nutcases.
ReplyDeleteI am very curious to see who will be advertising on this - why would they want to be associated with serial child molesters and their enablers?
ReplyDeleteMichelle Duggar looks like a whipped cur.
ReplyDelete4:09, I'm with you. I'd watch to see which companies advertise, but I won't turn on Fox in my home. If someone watches, please let me know which companies to NOT support by buying their products! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, in that picture it looks like she's grunting out another kid. #blessed? #butts
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point, Megyno? You get an exclusive opportunity to interview the parents of a bona fide incestuous pedophile's parents, and what will the topic be? It would be so wrong if they canceled the show? They're being persecuted against? They're good parents? Ask Michelle who does her hair? What's the point?
ReplyDeleteThis isn't journalism, sweetie. It's for ratings and to kiss the rwnj bible thumper's butts.
What does Diaper Dave Vitter have to say about this Duggar mess?
ReplyDeleteThat photo of them is really disturbing. She probably really just wants to kick him in the balls.
