Former Fox Host Discovers Propaganda Machine Exists, Post-Employment
According to The Independent, Megyn Kelly expressed 'embarrassment' over her past unquestioning support for foreign interventions while at Fox. This newfound clarity emerges conveniently after she’s left the network, having banked a reported $23 million annual salary at NBC post-Fox, and now hosts her own podcast. While Fox certainly perfected the art of partisan cheerleading, particularly during
the Trump administration, describing it as a 'propaganda machine' is less a revelation and more a belated character assessment from someone who arguably helped build the vehicle. Fox News’s history of blurring news and opinion, exemplified by its hosts’ consistent alignment with the Republican Party line and regular promotion of government narratives, stretches back decades, long predating Trump.
So, we're meant to believe that Ms. Kelly, a seasoned journalist, only *just* realized the 'news' outlet where she spent over a decade and built a national profile was a partisan echo chamber? It's a bit like a baker realizing only after retirement that their bakery sold bread. This isn't a critique; it's a carefully timed professional repositioning. Perhaps the 'propaganda' only became evident
once the paychecks from the network stopped flowing.
