Megyn Kelly: Media room laughed, applauded Obama’s “bayonets” line at #lynndebate

Here we go again:

Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly revealed that, while she watched the final presidential debate from the press room at Lynn College in Florida on Monday night, the assembled journalists burst into laughter and applause when President Barack Obama landed a rhetorical blow against Mitt Romney. When Romney said that Obama has presided over the downsizing of the Navy, Obama shot back β€œWe also have fewer horses and bayonets.” Kelly claims that reporters exalted over this chiding of his Republican opponent.

[…]

Speaking with conservative radio host Michael Reagan, Kelly said that she said that she observed the media’s satisfaction with that comment first hand.

β€œI was in the spin room in Boca when the president made that comment and I can tell you that the media literally erupted around me – laughing and many clapping,” said Kelly.

Debate cheerleading for Obama sound familiar to you? It should. Allahpundit notes other instances:

This isn’t the first time reporters have been caught rooting publicly against a Republican, either. The Seattle Times gave bloggers a week of laughs five years ago when they admitted that some staff members had cheered Karl Rove’s resignation; the editor reprimanded them for showing partisanship in a place asΒ β€œsacred and magical” as the newsroom. A few days later, Joe Scarborough revealed that people in the MSNBC β€œnewsroom” hadΒ booed Bush consistentlyΒ through one of his SOTUs. When he told MSNBC prez Phil Griffin about it, Griffin supposedly β€œturned red very quickly” and put a stop to it. And that’s how MSNBC became the sober, studiously nonpartisan investigative news team that you know today.

And don’t forget how “objective journalists” laughed and made fun of Sarah Palin during a live feed hot mic moment after a speech she gave in California back in June 201o.

I could go on and on but you get the point. The only thing remotely laughable about mainstream media bias at this point is their strident denials to the contrary in the face of the obvious.

The jig, as they say, is up.
