‘Daily Show’ Owes Megyn Kelly Huge Apology
Far-left outlet skewered media star over Imane Khelif's gender claims
Megyn Kelly isn’t ready to forgive and forget.
The podcast superstar defied the Legacy Media last year by declaring Olympic boxer Imane Khelif a man.
Khelif competed in the women’s division during the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The athlete pummeled several high-ranking female boxers en route to winning the gold. Khelif insisted, along with the boxer’s media allies, that he was a biological female.
That’s despite his extreme dominance in the sport and a disqualification from the 2023 International Boxing Association World Championships. One Olympic competitor, Italian boxer Angela Carini, quit after 46 seconds in the ring with Khelif.
She said she had never been hit that hard by a woman in her life.
Now, we’re learning about a leaked test that shows that Khelif has male chromosomes. A just-announced ruling says Khalif must take an updated genetic sex test before competing against women in the future.
Game. Set. Match. Kelly.
And she broke out the receipts Tuesday, detailing the media outlets that mocked her accurate assessment. Some used their platforms to besmirch Kelly on a personal level. Think Wired Magazine, Salon and The Young Turks.
The latter dubbed Kelly the “garbage person of the week.”
The far-Left “Daily Show” also teed off on Kelly following the Olympic kerfuffle.
“Seems pretty open and shut to me,” host Michael Kosta said at the time, a clip Kelly replayed on her show. “Khelif was born a woman, lives as a woman and boxes other women. What is the argument against that?”
The program played a clip of Kelly describing Khelif as a man to tee up Kosta’s response.
“No, she’s not. She’s a woman,” Kosta said to his sycophantic live audience. “She’s a woman like you, Megyn Kelly, a woman at the peak of her career … unlike Megyn Kelly.”
Kelly is one of the most powerful people in the media. Her new podcast empire is also a smash, with programs hosted by Link Lauren, Maureen Callahan and Mark Halperin getting a heady start out of the gate.

“I literally have no idea who that person is,” Kelly said of Kosta, sticking the rhetorical knife in deeper.
Late-night TV routinely twists the truth to fit its hard-Left agenda. Liberal hosts hid President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline from their audiences. They leaned into the Russian collusion hoax without a sincere apology when the lies came tumbling down.
More recently, Jimmy Kimmel misled his fans by saying President Biden didn’t freeze up last year during a fundraising event.
He did.
Kimmel just claimed that President Donald Trump’s case against “60 Minutes” for deceptively editing an interview with Kamala Harris had no merit. It does.
So don’t expect Kosta, “The Daily Show” or Comedy Central to apologize to Kelly for getting the story wrong. It’s another reason consumers are flocking to Kelly’s broadcasts and tuning late-night propagandists out.
“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling has Kelly’s back.
A raft of people in sports media publicly cheered on men beating up women in the name of entertainment and not one of them will lose their job. No demographic other than women could be treated this egregiously without consequences. Naked misogyny.
