[Just saw this on the AP feed](https://apnews.com/3683bcd3a8bc425183a4316ac9eae0c6/Debra-Messing-regrets-going-on-Megyn-Kelly's-new-show): > [@](#): > > “Will & Grace” star Debra Messing says she regrets her appearance on Megyn Kelly’s new NBC daytime show. > > Messing made her comments while responding to an Instagram follower who asked why the actress would appear on “Megyn Kelly TODAY.” Kelly joined NBC from Fox News earlier this year. > > Messing replied that she was only told it was a “Today” show appearance and didn’t know Kelly was hosting. She added: “Regret going on. Dismayed by her comments.” What comments? These: > [@](#): > > Kelly received backlash online after bringing a “Will & Grace” fan on during a Monday segment with the sitcom’s cast and asking him if he was inspired to become gay and a lawyer because of Eric McCormack’s character, a gay attorney. After surprising the fan with a trip to Los Angeles to see a live-taping of “Will & Grace,” she told him she thought “the ‘Will & Grace’ thing and the gay thing is going to work out.” 😕 WTF??? ---

“No more than being on your show has inspired me to become a homophobic ignoramus, Megyn.” ---

I always laugh when I hear people talk about MSNBC as if it is some flagrant bastion of flaming left wing liberalism. Obviously they never watch it. They’re corporate media, same as any of the big cable channels. They’ve been cluttering up the place with traditional right wing pundits for quite some time: Hugh Hewitt, Greta Van Susteren (now gone), Joe Scarborough, Nichole Wallace and now, Megyn Kelly. They regularly give a platform for commentators from the American Enterprise Institute (Koch brothers) and other conservative think tanks. They wanted to fire Lawrence O’Donnell until public outcry cowed them against doing it. With the exceptions of Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell, there isn’t much “liberal” about MSNBC. More on point, did anyone really think Kelly was going to be something different than the right wing dipshit she’s always been? ---

Yeah, we’re talking about the “Today” show… Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, and a long line of overwieght weather guys. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > Pssst: NBC is not MSNBC. I saw that, but Megyn Kelly has a new show on MSNBC as well, and I thought they shared interviews between the two channels. I heard about the Debra Messing kerfuffle on MSNBC. I take your point, though. ---

I need to know what has to go through someone’s head to: a) have a thought like that go through your head in the first place b) cause the idiot filter in your head to fail so the the words come out of your mouth ---

I guess there is still a huge group of people who still, STILL, think it’s an active decision a person makes. ---
