The Daily Tr*mp

Can you report on one thing other than Tr*mp? There are other stories fit to print. Oh and a profile on MEGYN KELLY doesn’t count.
Get a therapist on with Megyn Kelly!!
2d ago
Kelly knows firsthand the toll of public vilification as a woman, she’s spoken about her own experiences, like during her Fox News days. Yet, she backed Trump, a man found liable in a civil court for sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll in 2023, with dozens of other women (including his ex-wife Ivana, who once accused him of rape before retracting) alleging similar behavior. Her support seems to completely dismiss these women’s experiences, which clashes with any implied solidarity she might claim as a woman who’s “been there.” Kelly touts her willingness to challenge Trump as evidence of her journalistic integrity. But when Trump retaliates (by cutting her off or siccing his base on her) she doesn’t see it as a problem. This suggests she’s less an impartial truth seeker and more someone willing to endure personal attacks to maintain access or relevance to Trump’s orbit, which undermines her “unbiased” claim. I can see that Kelly markets herself (personally and professionally) as a fearless, fair voice who understands women’s struggles, yet she aligns with someone whose actions and reputation directly contradict that image, while she shrugs off the consequences of his behavior toward her and others. It’s like she’s saying, “I’ll call him out, but I’ll still prop him up,” which feels inconsistent at best, toxic self-serving at worst.
No self awareness
1d ago
The Daily has released multiple episodes recently that call out (and complain about) biases of right leaning news sources. Yet they fail to acknowledge their own blatant left wing leanings. All in all, The Daily is a good podcast, but they could really use some self awareness.
Yikes

The state of modern journalism is not in a good place with people like this
Disappointed
2d ago
I’ve listened to The Daily over many years and usually like their integrity and perspective. Not so with Megan Kelly. The questions asked had integrity; Ms Kelly’s answers were simply a rationalization of why she is back in Trump world. For a centrist Republican (me) it might as well have been Fox News
Democracy Now! Is Better

Interviewing Megan Kelly is unacceptable. The NYT is officially a right wing news outlet.
Megyn Kelly is a BADA$$

MK, Keep going. You're not done.
Covid lockdown episode
2d ago
Wow, this is an embarrassing episode and I’m surprised the NYTimes is willing to be associated with it. How about let’s interview two academics who have no public health background on their thoughts of a lockdown who are cry babies because they wanted to indoor dine at Applebee’s sooner. Why not check yourself in with scientists, public health professionals, and epidemiologists on the long term toll of long COVID, the deaths of millions, brain fog our children have from getting COVID ad infinitum, and everyone’s brutalized immune systems from repeat infections? Spoiler alert: masking, quarantine, and vaccine have saved and continue to save lives. Check yourself before calling yourself an actual journalist, Michael. Blah.
The Daily is apart of the Mean Girl Club. Mean Girl Alert! Please move a little to the middle

I never guessed that The Daily was apart of The Mean Girl Club- Kind people never post unflattering photos of others- The Daily is not going to straighten your crown or tell you your have kale in your teeth. Megan Kelly is a beautiful woman & the photo you chose of her looks like she is talking - this is unkind & unprofessional- not surprising. I want to love this podcast, but like so many, there is transparent political bias. Be brave- take on topics that challenge both political parties. Journalists should practice neutral observation & discernment. Be more objective & check your own viewpoint. Also - Why are you ignoring specific topics while focusing heavily on others? UPDATE: I am deeply disappointed in your bias and selective coverage of The Hunter Biden story. I listened to hours of congressional hearings, read several primary documents, the letter from Weiss, and you obviously cherry-pick & frame the story to support the Biden family. You are no different than bias conservative commentators. I am not a Trump fan - I dislike him deeply. I am a fan of truth- you are failing our country. Journalism no longer exists. Update Again- I tried to listen again. Signing off & listening to Beri & Colman for objective & honest analysis. Bye. Update again- I keep coming back because I want to like this show. I am a lifelong listener of PBS & reader of NYT. The way you have covered the tragic murder of Linken Riley is disgraceful. You turned her death into another tool to try and make conservatives look bad. YOU are using her murder as a political tool- don’t you see that you are doing exactly what you are criticizing? This episode is disgraceful and shameful. Self-reflection please.
