‘Here We Go Again!’ Megyn Kelly, [Anthony] Weiner Reunite for Heated Showdown over Obamacare

For the first time in almost three years, Anthony Weiner faced off with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, and they kicked things off with a fiery discussion about a topic that’s set them off before: Obamacare. And Kelly did a big of a fourth-wall-breaking when she moaned “here we go again!” in the middle of the discussion.

After dwelling a bit on Weiner’s mistakes, Kelly asked him if the American public was “misled” on Obamacare. He flipped the script on her, saying Fox News did plenty of misleading about things like death panels, though he did acknowledge Obama should have probably been clearer about people still losing plans under his health care law.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Tops Fox’s Megyn Kelly in Demo for Week of Jan. 6th

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/msnbcs-rachel-maddow-tops-foxs-megyn-kelly-in-demo-for-week-of-jan-6th/

It's much harder for MSNBC to win because the station is on less cable systems than fox and more major businesses have
fox news on than MSNBC. So for Rachel to win in the key demo of 25-54 it's pretty impressive.

4. The cause of their exchanges becoming "heated showdowns" is that *she won't let him speak*.

Weiner's comment, "Let me answer one question before you ask the next three" sums up her idea of an interview perfectly.

And her comment, "Here's where I'm going on this" sums up Fox News' manipulation of their "interviews".

I also noticed how she quickly dismissed Weiner when he appropriately brought up Fox News' disgraceful campaign to "inform" their viewers that death panels existed in the ACA.

I laugh at you, Ms. Kelly.
