    Tom Brokaw Reinforces Megyn Kelly’s Interview With Alex Jones

    NBC News has engaged Tom Brokaw to provide an olive branch to the argument of the parents of the elementary school, Sandy Hook, in which the children were massacred in 2012. Megyn Kelly’s interview with the controversial Alex Jones was aired on Sunday night. Brokaw brought an editorial that wrapped up the program echoing the defense of the interview that many people didn’t want it to be broadcasted.

    Kelly commenced the interview with Jones by addressing the controversy that has surrounded the interview. She stated that many people didn’t want the program to be aired on the channel because Jone’s allegations are both offensive and scandalous on the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre. She continued to add that Alex Jones is not going anywhere any time soon and the interview will go on as planned.

    Kelly supported the justification of the interview stating that Alex Jones is a star with many listeners and even has the ear of the president. The interview prompted a lot of resentments especially from the people of Connecticut, where the incidence occurred that left about 20 school going children and other six adults were shot dead by a gunman.

    The local NBC branch in Connecticut where the shooting happened refused to air or comment on the interview. Brokaw stated in his speech that he feels for the parents of the victims and that the pain they are undergoing cannot be felt by anyone else who didn’t encounter the loss of the loved ones directly. He urged the people not to allow some agents of doom to destroy the life of the innocent and go unpunished.

    Jones has in the past questioned the ‘official story’ surrounding the Sandy Hook massacre and argued that a political cover-up must have been involved. His theory has been criticized by many people who claim that Jones has mercilessly ridiculed the families of the victims. Though Jones statement on the incident faced a lot of emotions of anger from the public, it seems to have made the headlines on NBC news highlights regardless of the victim’s outcry.

    Kelly has something to say relating to her interview with Alex Jones. She believes she was painted in bad light yet that was not the reality of the matter. Alex Jones, a conservative radio host has kept his promise to leak audio clips he had promised to unveil. They were audio clips of a conversation she recently had with Megyn Kelly, an NBC News anchor.

    Jones is a disappointed man who wants to set the record straight. Through a tweet, he said that what prompted him to release the recordings of his conversations with Kelly was the fact that she told lies in regards to the nature of the interview.

    In a recent segment on NBC, Kelly had a moment to interview Jones in regards to his thoughts relating to controversies and conspiracies. An NBC promotional video revealed Kelly asking Jones about the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting as well as his theories on Sept. 11.

    Jones outlined that the Sept. 11 terrorist attack was an “inside job.” He added that on his part he had questioned the various facts related to the deadly 2012 school shooting.

    It wasn’t the same again after the interview clips were released. According to Time.com, they resulted in an outrage and sparked the Sandy Hook Promise, which is indeed a gun violence prevention organization. It was founded by some family members of Sandy Hook victims and there was a plan to dump Kelly as the host to the annual gala.

    The group’s co-founder, Nicole Hockley while speaking to a number of top journalists said, “Sandy Hook Promise cannot support the decision by Megyn or NBC to give any form of voice or platform to Alex Jones and have asked Megyn Kelly to step down as our Promise Champion Gala host. It is our hope that Megyn and NBC reconsider and not broadcast this interview.”

    In giving her response, Kelly asserted that that it was very disappointing for the event organizers to make such an inconsiderate decision. She also dismissed Jones’ Sandy Hook theory as “revolting.”Jones expressed disappointment from Kelly’s statement. He is also not happy about the way he was portrayed in NBC’s promotional clip. He has referred to himself as a victim to Kelly’s lies and that the audio clips would bring forward the truth. A lot of speculation continues with a lot of people seeking to understand what happens afterwards.

    Alex Jones Shocks Many After Leaking An Audio of a conversation He had Earlier With Kelly

    Infowars host Alex Jones has revealed that he struck a conversation with Megyn before she finally engaged him for her NBC Sunday newsmag. In support of his claim, he leaked an audio of the conversation they had. He has sparked speculation worldwide after he added that he had more where that came from.

    According to Deadline.com, Jones was unhappy with a recent promo which he claims distorted his remarks. He has contacted NBC requesting it not to air the interview.NBC won’t be distracted by the much backlash from various quarters, including parents of children murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School. It has confirmed that it will move ahead with Sunday’s broadcast and it won’t allow anything else stand on its way.

    Sandy Hook Promise is an anti-gun violence group that was formed by parents of those children that lost their lives in the 2012 Newtown, CT School shooting. Jones has dismissed it calling it a hoax. This particular week saw Kelly dismissed as the host of its fundraiser gala and this of course took place in Washington, DC.

    The other person that clearly seemed to be taking issue with Sunday’s broadcast was poobah Tom Brokaw of NBC News. In a recent interview with a top news reporter, he seemed to air out his stand in relation to the matter.

    In making his statement, Brokaw said, “There’s a lot of controversy around this network about Alex Jones. The fact is that he is an unalloyed racist, a man who is out there pulling the pin on the grenade every day and he has 6 million viewers who are paying attention to him.”

    Jones has dismissed the video that has been circulating this evening citing that that he knows what conversation he had with Kelly and he had even gone ahead to record it. He added that he had never in 22-years time ever recorded another journalist. He dismisses the matter as a fraud that no one should even pay attention to.

    The great shocker has been the utterances by Jones who described Kelly as a sex-thirsty lady who was willing to do anything to get intimate with him. The controversy continues to heat up, but how it ends is something we just have to wait and see.

  • Megyn Kelly Decides To Interview Alex Jones Amid Chaos

    Megyn Kelly Decides To Interview Alex Jones Amid Chaos

    NBC is defending Megyn Kelly’s decision to interview Alex Jones despite the public calls to abscond the show. Most of the relatives of the victims who lost their lives during the 2012 Sandy Hook shootings have decided to embarrass Kelly on Twitter but NBC has decided to defend her.

    NBC plans to air the full interview on Sunday and one of the show executive producers is pleading with people to withhold their judgment until the interview is over. People are being urged to give it a chance so that they can air their views only after watching the whole program in its full context.

    Kelly has also tried to defend her upcoming show despite the criticism that people are taking on Alex Jones. Some people have raised concern that Kelly is giving a podium to a conspiracy theorist who had earlier referred to the 2012 massacre, which occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School as a ‘hoax’.

    Most people feel that giving Jones a platform would mean he is unchallenged by any means. Some people are also questioning the source of his theories and information. Jones has been influential in the social media, and his radio show reaches millions of fans. His own website, the Infowars.com attracts more than five million new visitors each month.

    To most people, Jones remarks on the Sandy Hook massacre are not only unjustifiable but also careless, distasteful and downright strange. Jones also presumes that the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers was an ‘internal plan’ and that people tend to create the ‘animal-human hybrids’ hence no one can be trusted.

    Jones has been portrayed as one of the controversial public figures though it would be good to give him a chance for the interview. According to NBC, it’s necessary to interview any potential newsmakers and influential people regardless of their perspectives on life in general.

    Though the affected people who lost their loved ones called Kelly to cancel the interview, it’s likely that with the support from NBC and other key people in the society, the interview could go ahead as planned.
