Megyn Kelly to interview Alex Jones on NBC

I was willing to give Megyn a chance, but this is OUTRAGEOUS. Just the thought that NBC would give national airtime to some one like Alex Jones makes me livid. His worst conspiracy theory is that the killing of first graders in Newton was a hoax. Tell that to the parents. As a mother and grandmother I still get upset just thinking about those children. President Obama said it was the worst day of his Presidency. Darn, I miss him!.

Mainstreaming this jackass is completely irresponsible and nothing but shock journalism.

The world needs to see him for what he is. And I don't mean Jesus, or Santa Claus.

THIS is OUTRAGEOUS. There's no other way to describe it. NBC is de-legitimizing their network by airing this interview and legitimizing Alex Jones. I was hesitant to give Megyn Kelly a chance and now it seems we do not need to go to the trouble. Alex Jones and anything he has to say is not news.

America elected a president who often acts on what Alex Jones says. Yes, NBC -- Put him on for America to check out, just please make some viewers go away informed and the others outraged by too much truth.

That absolute hate-filled pig should not be legitimized in any manner, shape, or form. I have heard that the Sandy Hook parents have let NBC know what they think of this horrible decision.

Media Matters has been covering this interview because Alex Jones himself has had a field day with it. There are several different pieces on the interview, and here is a link to one:

Alex Jones sexualized the whole thing before Kelly even walked in the door. The fact that she did so AFTER all the garbage he said prior to the interview degrades her.
