Megyn Kelly is someone we find extremely unimpressive.
And quite frankly, enduring SUNDAY NIGHT WITH MEGYN KELLY once was more than enough for us.
We will not be watching it tonight on NBC.
However, we're not boycotting -- or, if we are, we're just boycotting out of boredom.
THE LOS ANGELES TIMES reports:
Megyn Kelly’s interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was the talk of the TV industry last week, but based on the Nielsen ratings, viewers did not care.
“Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly” averaged 3.53 million viewers in its Sunday 7 p.m. time slot, the lowest figure yet since the program premiered on NBC on June 4.
People didn't watch.
I think, like Ava and C.I., they just didn't see the point.
SUNDAY NIGHT WITH MEGYN KELLY was heavily hyped and then it debuted and was nothing.
You play that trick once and maybe it works.
You try to do it for your next episode as well and people aren't going to be tricked.
Sounds like that's what happened.
Bore me once, shame on you -- bore me twice, shame on me.
Going out with C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"
Monday, June 19, 2017. The Mosul Slog continues, what is insane and inhumane is accepted as normal, and much more.
Micah Zenko is a public commentator who appears to have compassion -- a rare thing. But in their chattering to themselves, these talking heads -- even the ones with compassion -- appear to get lost.
No where is that more clear than in his column for THE NEW YORK TIMES entitled "Why Is the US Killing So Many Civilians in Syria and Iraq?" online and "Facing Civilian Casualties" in print.
He goes over the fact that that populated areas are now being bmobed more, he goes over the claims of relaxed guidelines for bombings (and the denial), he goes over Donald Trump's farming out decision making to the military.
It's a hand wringing column.
It's also one where they talk to themselves and accept things as normal which are not, in any way, shape or form, normal.
First off, it is not normal to be dropping bombs in populated areas.
In many cases, that is a War Crime.
Second, note the second sentence:
Also, more strikes have occurred in populated areas, like Mosul, the Islamic State’s last stronghold in Iraq. A 500-pound bomb aimed at two snipers there detonated stored explosives, which collapsed a building and killed 105 Iraqi civilians on March 17, according to Centcom.
Anyone making it to the end of that second sentence will read the sotto voiced "according to Centcom," yes. And that's rather cheesy.
But that's not my point here.
2 snipers.
A five under-pound bomb.
For two snipers.
(For the sake of argument, let's accept that claim that the were two snipers and that they were the target.)
For two snipers -- in a densely populated area -- you drop a 500 pound bomb?
In the dank hall where the chattering faces use their own fingers to pull their deaths masks back into a perverse grin while they speak their own coded language, a 500 pound bomb is seen as normal, something that just is.
There is nothing normal about dropping a 500 pound bomb on populated area.
Membership in the chattering class requires crushing your own soul.
AFP reports, "Iraqi authorities have dropped leaflets over Mosul warning civilians to stay inside and are telling jihadists to 'surrender or die' after launching an assault to retake the Old City."
Day 243 of The Mosul Slog.
And when it finally ends, the war drags on.
And US troops will not be leaving.
In other news . . .
This is big news. Iraq shares a border (southern border) with Saudi Arabia. Under Nouri al-Maliki, "diplomacy" with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia was making threats and verbal attacks.
