Here are the best parts of NYTimes' latest article about Megyn Kelly's Alex Jones interview (Her salary is $15 MILLION?! Keep sharing the phone-call video!! It's still at #3 on YouTube Trending!) —

Pasted--and yes, they linked to the video, which now has 989,000 views!

Earlier in the day, Mr. Jones’s website, InfoWars, published audio of Ms. Kelly cajoling and flattering her interview subject as she tried to secure his cooperation for the segment. “I’m not looking to portray you as some boogeyman,” Ms. Kelly can be heard saying. Assurances of fair coverage are standard practice in television journalism, where anchors seeking access routinely present their intentions in the best possible light. NBC is standing by Ms. Kelly, urging viewers to withhold judgment until the segment airs.

But the firestorm has been an unwelcome surprise at the network. NBC is banking on Ms. Kelly, who is drawing a salary reported to be about $15 million, as its next flagship star. ...

“It’s Jimmy Fallon tousling Trump’s hair,” said Martin Kaplan, director of the Norman Lear Center for media and society at the University of Southern California, likening the Kelly-Jones tempest to the moment last fall that is widely considered to have caused lasting damage to Mr. Fallon, NBC’s “Tonight Show” host. ... (Re: that, see how the MSM, led by the NYTimes, have sought to shame the hell out him for that, as recently as last month!)

[NBC President Jeff Zucker] also cited a damaging photograph of Ms. Kelly wearing sunglasses and smiling alongside Mr. Jones on the day of their interview. The image was distributed by Mr. Jones, not NBC, but by posing for it, Ms. Kelly conveyed the sense of a cozy encounter rather than a cross-examination.

“If you are going to do this story, the tease needs to be you holding up a picture of the dead kids at Sandy Hook and saying, ‘How dare you?’ And that’s what you need to do,” Mr. Zucker said.

-- Wow, sounds like Mr. Zucker still hasn't seen the video that showcase's Megyn's complete and total lack of journalistic ethics! Here it is again! Keep sharing it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkpNO675Beg
