Megyn Kelly’s startling admission — that she knew and played the Fox News ‘assignment’ — reframes how media shapes foreign policy narratives. Original episode: 17 minutes; condensed: 2 minutes. Hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti break down Kelly’s “yellow light” stance on the Trump-era operation in Venezuela, the media’s role in generating uniform coverage, and how coalitions from neocons to MAGA rallied behind the action. You’ll learn why media selection often substitutes for explicit talking points, how cultural shifts on the right affect policy support, and the historical costs of U.S. regime change in Latin America. Key takeaways: skepticism toward cheerleading narratives, the political calculus of short-term cohesion versus long-term nation‑building risks, and the human dimension Kelly raised by mentioning family.
