...Just ask Megyn Kelly, she of the perpetually non-factual television network, Fox "News".
From New York Magazine's
Daily Intel blog:
Last night on Fox News, anchor Megyn Kelly joined Bill O'Reilly to assess just how much the protesters at UC Davis deserved to get pepper-sprayed while staging a nonviolent protest last week. "First of all, pepper spray — that just burns your eyes, right?" O'Reilly asks Kelly, the legal (and apparently chemical) expert. "It's like a derivative of actual pepper," she responds. "It's a food product, essentially."
...One of the hit protesters told Boing Boing two days later, "I still have a burning sensation in my throat, lips and nose, especially when I start coughing, or when I'm lying in bed. Everyone who got sprayed has sustained effects like this." Sounds delicious.
That a
n empty talking head from Fox News is on the record as saying something so incredibly stupid and blindly unsubstantiated is certainly neither earth-shattering nor, in fact, post-worthy.
This picture inspired by Kelly's absurdity, however,
is:
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.
