The right-wing host said she did not view the sex trafficker as an actual pedophile until recently, among other head-scratching remarks
So it is O.K. for a 57 year old man who is married, a father, and a grandfather to pay a piece of shit like
Maxwell $500.00 to rape a 15 year old girl? Maybe even more if she is a virgin or bleeds.
Story behind a paywall.
Pretty on the outside but just an ugly person on the inside.

(128,335 posts)In that case maybe a career-end is a possibility after all.

(17,227 posts)if my memory isnt to far gone, Tamron Hall was on in the third hour and think she quit partly because they hired Megan. I seem to remember Al Roker tried to get her to stay, but she had her mind made up and quit. Worked out for her, getting her own talk show.

I truly wish Hell existed. They dont believe it does either, judging by the way they all act. Burn, scumbags.
Edit - Ok, maybe not all, but, some, and, the party covers for those people, so, they can still fall right into hell and burn for eternity.

. from previous gigs @ Fox and NBC, and no doubt she can go and give talks to brain dead
Christo Fascists for @ least 20 k when she wants to.
Expect an apology from her ASAP along with plenty of tears, Jesus talk, and blaming the democrats
and the media for her current predicament.
Btw I think she has a daughter around the age of being barely legal too.

(6,846 posts)I agree that this is the argument Megan Kelly is making. It's an argument usually made by people trying to minimize the rape of underage teenagers - absolutely horrific stuff. I also think Kelly is making it in that way. Despicable and disgusting.
American conservatism has been reduced to defending Trump by arguing that Epstein is "actually an ephedophile and not a pedophile." Jesus, how far they've fallen, and how very sad for our society.

(719 posts)and journalist, I live on facts. That appears to upset certain people around here, but I don't get mad about it.
Ephedophiles and pedophiles are equally disgusting. That we can agree on.
Prairie Gates
(6,846 posts)Her point isn't that in the discourse of experimental and behavioral psychology, Epstein should be in category A rather than category B.
Her argument is that Epstein being attracted to and raping 15 year-olds is less bad than doing so with 8 year olds. That's an argument of comparative value. Indeed, it's worse than that, because it is an argument of comparative value masquerading as a statement about facts, so it is dishonest in that respect. Certainly, any journalist worth their salt should see through that charade. In any case, it's good that you reject Kelly's argument: to claim that the two activities are "equally disgusting" is to reject her argument of comparative value, which aims to persuade her listeners that they are not.
In any case, journalists know that facts can be arranged to deceive, or put in the service of specious and despicable arguments, as they are in this case. A journalist's allegiance is not to facts, but to truth. Only a poorly trained journalist would confuse the two.

She's lost her tiny mind.
How would a 15 year old girl who looks younger than she is look "legal to a passerby"?
She contradicted herself and is too stupid to realize it.
