Megyn Kelly is joined by Tom Bevan, Carl Cannon, and Andrew Walworth of RealClearPolitics to discuss the media trying to make themselves into heroes and victims after the WHCD shooting, young reporters making selfie videos instead of filming the actual news, and more. <\/p>\n
MEGYN KELLY: The dramatics of some of these reporters who are talking like they just got back from ‘Nam \u2013 like, okay, deep breaths, you’re fine. You were never actually in danger. And just the over-the-top acting is a bit much. I’ll give you just one example. Brian Stelter was out there today comparing the trauma that he went through to that experience by actual shooting victims in mass shootings, like one we saw last weekend, where a nutcase killed his seven children\u2026 First of all, Brian Stelter tweeted out, It was just a bunch of plates that fell. Which is it? You were so terrified [that] you need counseling, or you actually weren’t one of the scared ones, because you thought it was plates? And second of all, to even raise an actual mass shooting in comparison to what he went through is absurd. Personally, my favorite of the night was this guy, Michael Glance, who’s an agent from CAA, who never missed a bite of his salad through the whole thing, and somebody took a video of him eating his salad. I’m like, That’s hashtag goals, everybody’s under the tables. And he sat there eating his meal. And then Dana White\u2026 I was told he was like, This is the greatest night of my life. He was like, on top of the table. He was watching the security do its thing. He was in admiration and respect for them. This guy spends his life in the arena. So he’s tough to scare… I’m not mocking them, but when everybody else is milling \u2013 like you saw these people who were crouching under the tables for a long, long period while everybody else had already started milling about again and going about their business, and they were giving off Michelle Kaczynski vibes\u2026 She was the NBC Today Show correspondent who was rowing her little canoe through the non-existent flood, and then the firefighters walked right by her in ankle-deep water. At some point, you have to stop pretending that you are in the middle of a mass shooting and just eat your salad… I’m sure it was scary. I do not need to take that away from those who are in the room for like those 10 minutes, and then after you realize you’re fine and nothing happened to you, you should act like a normal human, but a lot of these reporters truly are acting like they just got back from Fallujah. It’s like, okay, let’s keep some perspective here\u2026 Here’s Olivia Reingold. She writes for the Free Press. I got a thought or two on this one\u2026First of all, you don’t wear mini pigtails to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Second of all, she shows herself crouching\u2026 All the guys are standing up all around her. She’s like the only one less crouching and third of all, note to self, Olivia, to be a good reporter, you turn the camera outward to film what’s happening in the ballroom, not yourself. Is there a better example of the vainglorious upcoming class of reporters in America today? Keep it on ME! I’m telling you, there might be a shooter here, but I want you to see me and how scared I am. I object.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
