Bill O’Reilly Zings Megyn Kelly over New York Times ‘Puff Piece’ on Her

O’Reilly’s Jealousy Reared Its Ugly Head Last Night with Megyn Kelly (Mediaite)

In case you missed it last night: Bill O’Reilly used the final portion of an on-air discussion with Megyn Kelly to rib her for the New York Times Magazineprofile dubbing the current state of cable news “The Megyn Kelly Moment.”

The magazine piece, which chronicled her rise to prominence as the future (and possibly current) face of Fox News and changing cable news demographics, was a “puff piece,” according to O’Reilly.

“They don’t like anybody else on the Fox News Channel, but they like her,” he insisted. “[Because] you’re charming.” While Kelly attempted to explain that Times reporter Jim Rutenberg had been accurate and entirely fair — even to O’Reilly himself — the Factor host wasn’t having any of it: He repeatedly cut off Kelly and mockingly dismissed her responses.
