Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly drew attention to bias in the media, claiming CNN is pretending anchor Don Lemon is “objective.”
Lemon said Monday night that he feels like the fictional character Howard Beale from the 1976 movie Network. He took particular issue with President Trump “taking time to argue with reporters and air his grievances” during a press briefing after he was asked about a Department of Health and Human Services inspector general report on shortages at hospitals amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“I have to be honest with you. For the last couple of weeks, when I walk into this building, and I get in front of this camera, I swear I feel like I’m in the movie Network. I feel like Howard Beale,” he said. “Americans are mad as hell. What are you going to — how much more can Americans take?”
Kelly shot back at Lemon on Twitter following the segment.
CNN still pretends he is an objective news anchor (yeah, sure) while the msm recoils in horror at the bias of Fox/OANN, etc. Who do they think they’re kidding? https://t.co/JwkhpTUvgs

After more than a decade with Fox, Kelly transitioned over to NBC News as a correspondent and talk show host in 2017 but left the network the next year. She now posts her own reporting on her YouTube channel and Instagram page.
