Megyn Kelly Torches Clooney, LuPone Over ‘Journalism’ Taunt

New media superstar dresses down progressives in epic fashion

Megyn Kelly counter-punches with the best of ’em.

The former Fox News superstar is now a media darling of her own creation. “The Megyn Kelly Show,” heard on SiriusXM and podcasting platforms across the globe, lets her weigh in on the latest headlines and often makes news, too.

One bonus? She has a massive platform from which to fight back against progressive smears.

She did just that regarding George Clooney’s Variety chat with Broadway star Patti LuPone. The duo dressed Kelly down in their recent conversation, suggesting she’s not a “real” journalist.

Clooney is starring in Broadway’s “Good Night, and Good Luck,” the theatrical adaptation of his 2005 film on the professional life of Edward R. Murrow.

Megyn Kelly Unloads on George Clooney For Claiming He's More of a Journalist Than Megyn Is

“Clooney fancies himself a journalist, you see, and has lots of thoughts on how journalists need to do journalism,” Kelly said, kicking off her April 23 broadcast. “Like he does it, mainly, stumbling upon the biggest story of the decade – that a sitting president is mentally infirm and ought to be 25th Amendmented right out of office and then burying it, saying absolutely nothing for weeks on end.”

She’s right, of course.

“That’s not journalism, George. That’s cowardice, followed by naked partisanship,” Kelly said.

Kelly notes that “Good Night, and Good Luck” ends with a barrage of news clips including one of Kelly herself. Elon Musk’s so-called “Nazi” salute at the 2025 inauguration also made the cut.

“Because Elon Musk and I are the dangers Clooney fears, not the propaganda that was pushed on us for four years by his favorite leftist, so-called journalists, that President Biden was fine. … or the four years before that saying Trump was a Russian asset,” she said.

She read a snippet of the Variety chat between Clooney and LuPone. Kelly’s name came up in an unflattering way.

Clooney: I don’t care much in terms of what they say. We don’t tell people what to think when we show that montage at the end, for instance. You see Megyn Kelly, who’s come out and said I’m not a journalist. I didn’t say I was a journalist.
LuPone: Neither is she.
Clooney: I’ve at least been to Darfur and Sudan and the Congo and been shot at to try to get stories out. I’m not quite sure what she’s done to be a journalist. Having said that, we only show her words in this play. We don’t tell people what to think. It’s not out of context. We don’t manipulate it. We literally just go, “These are your words.”

Kelly quickly educated the pair on her journalistic bona fides.

“Absolutely none of my stories held any interest for George Clooney. Of that, I have no doubt,” Kelly said before ticking off an impressive list of accomplishments. 

  • Interviewed Susette Kelo, whose battle with Big Government was captured in “Little Pink House.”
  • Covered numerous school shootings 
  • Moderated six presidential debates
  • Interviewed women who accused both Donald Trump and Joe Biden of sexual assault
  • Sit downs with Trump, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu

Kelly also said the anecdote where Clooney was shot at in the Darfur region of Western Sudan didn’t happen.

The truth? A 10-year-old child pointed a gun at Clooney and his vehicle while they were filling a documentary in the African nation. He was never shot at, Kelly noted.

“George, this is not the kind of truth and integrity we want in our profession,” Kelly scolded the actor.

  1. Megyn Kelly is NOT a journalist. She is a fake christian racist who was FIRED FROM FOX for alleging the WHITENESS of fictional character SANTA CLAUS and actual middle eastern Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST whom the BIBLE describes as having SKIN OF BURNT BRASS.
    Revelation 1:15
    And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
    Many years ago BLAIR UNDERWOOD fantastic actor with whom I was privileged to work on 2 television series , “City of Angels” and “LAX” invited me to an independent film he produced and directed which was envisioned Jesus coming back to Earth as a black homeless guy and being treated horribly. When the screening was over he asked my opinion. I told him anyone concerned with the color of Jesus Christ had CLEARLY not yet been SAVED BY HIM. I pointed out the flaws in his churches “theology” which IGNORES the clearly printed command to BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST (Acts 2:38, Acts 4:12, Acts 10:44-49, Acts 8:16-17, Acts 19:1-6) for the FALSE Catholic baptism which wasn’t invented UNTIL THE 2ND CENTURY and therefore HAS NO POWER since NOT ONE APOSTLE USED IT. I also pointed out his FAILURE to actually RECEIVE the indwelling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues which is the 2nd part of the NEW BIRTH John 3:1-8, John 7:38-39, Acts 2:4, Acts 10:44-48, Acts 19:1-6. John 14:26.
    I told him he had been deceived by the false church and he preferred to make his bed with the wicked rather than OBEY and be RE-BAPTIZED in JESUS NAME as the followers of John the Baptist DID when confronted by the Apostle Paul in Acts 19:1-6.

  2. Say it with me: Actors……..deceive……..for……..a……..living. They are professional liars. They dress up and play make-believe to pay the rent. They read words that other people write down for them for a paycheck. It’s a vocation for human puppets. George is a biological Howdy Doody – nothing more.

  3. I thought he was talking to Patti LaBelle – who is this Lupone imposter??
    George did a movie called “The Men Who Stare at Goats”! It has to be the WORST – maybe in a tie with The Aquatic World of Steve Sassoon – ever produced! That has nothing to do with the article – just thought I’d toss that out there!
    George should remember he is an actor and some kind of coffee pot pusher. His politics are much like your run of the mill Hollywood Leftist – insane, but nothing to really consider!

  4. What is it with lefties imagining they were shot at? Hillary Clinton did the same thing, and Brian Williams fabricated some sort of story about being in danger in a helicopter.
