NEW YORK – Fox News host Megyn Kelly has been admitted to an undisclosed psychiatric ward at a New York area hospital, according to family and friends. Kelly—a long-serving daytime host at Fox News—was forcibly admitted earlier this week after she argued on live TV that Santa Claus “is white,” and should therefore never be depicted as any other race.
Doctors who have examined the anchor say that Kelly—who joined the Fox News team in 2004 and currently hosts “The Kelly File”—is suffering from “bizarre delusions” and “obsessiveness.”

On Wednesday, Kelly used a portion of her show to attack a recent Slate.com article that argued Santa Claus needn’t always be portrayed as a white man, since children of color often feel left out. “For all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white,” Kelly said. “But this person is just arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa. But Santa is what he is.”
Doctors say that “only someone very deranged would argue about a make-believe character’s race,” and Bass believes that Kelly will need months of close psychiatric attention in order to get better.
“We’re not just dealing with the Santa Claus delusion,” Dr. Bass explained. “Megyn also called it a ‘verifiable fact’ that ‘Jesus was a white man, too.’ Now, most people who aren’t crazy know that Jesus was a Middle Eastern Jew, which isn’t exactly WASP, so you can see how troubled Ms. Kelly’s mind has become.”
A family member told Newslo that those closest to her have worried about Kelly’s mental health for some time. “Not too long ago, our Meggy went on Fox and said that pepper spray is ‘a derivative of actual pepper, a food product, essentially.’ That’s when we knew she had lost her grip on reality, but this whole ‘Santa-Claus-was-a-white-dude’ obsession made it clear to us that she needed professional help.”
Fox News producers say that Kelly’s “insane ideas” were what made her an “effective Fox News host.” “It’ll be tough filling her shoes while she’s gone,” said one producer, “and let’s hope the doctors don’t heal her too well. We’d hate to see her leave cable news for good.”

This is a satire, yet you geniuses are treating it as if it were a news report! But you fancy yourselves smarter than Megan Kelly and her audience?
BTW, Kelly was responding to a rant by a racist, black Slate (or was it Salon? I can’t tell them apart.) writer, arguing for making Santa black. But no newslo writers or readers would ever dream of calling for the racist black writer to be committed.

The producer’s implication that it was her insanity which made her an effective Fox News host? Priceless.

The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including chilis.

Is Fat Albert black? Is Bart Simpson yellow?
Donna Jenkins
Why is this posted today? I’m seriously worried about Newslo.
Sheri Pape
You people are all nuts. She is saner than you. Jesus was Jewish which is considered white here in America and Santa is based on a white historical figure. Deal with the facts people. Next thing you’ll say is Obama is the first black president! WRONG!! First BIRACIAL president. Unless you are prejudiced, it shouldn’t matter what color anyone’s skin is. Oh by the way, Michael Jordan is white…lol. GROW UP AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT SKIN COLOR!!!!

Even though everyone at Fox News should be in a psych ward, this has to be a spoof.

I don’t understand why they’re even still on the air. Seriously, they’re all homophobic, pretentious, egotistical morons.
Ronnie Morris
Haha. The comments from the liberals prove they are the ones mentally disabled. They’re too stupid to recognize satire. That’s already a proven fact though, in the way they swallowed all the crap their idiot liar in chief fed them. They still think this treasonous lose us a good leader. Talk about mentally deficient. All your stupidity would be nice fodder for laughs, if your idiocy wasn’t destroying the country.

It appears that quite a few people don’t know this is satire.

This is according to Wiki…”The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including chilis. Extraction of oleoresin capsicum from peppers requires capsicum to be finely ground, from which capsaicin is then extracted using an organic solvent such as ethanol. The solvent is then evaporated, and the remaining waxlike resin is the oleoresin capsicum”. So she’s right in a way!

It’s a satire article everyone. It’s not real… it’s fake… and you all jumped on this just like an Onion article.

Santa Claus is based on Saint Nicholas of Myra, a Greek bishop in the 3rd century AD, who was probably whitish, although not exactly Swedish-looking.

It is a shame that Megan is so “stupid”. I just can’t understand how FOX News can be rated higher than all the other liberal stations combined when they are so stupid. Could someone in the “super smart liberal department” explain that to me?

Dearest Midge, the reason fox news has such high ratings are for the ridiculously bias news stories that you and the other mindless sheep swallow hook line and sinker.
Michael Myke D Deaton
I imagine if a black person was arguing that Jesus was actually black (like a lot of them believe), white libs would be saying, “What’s wrong with that? Maybe he was!”. But let a white person say something like “Santa has always been portrayed as white, and that shouldn’t change”, and she’s automatically a racist monster. Can you say double-standard??
Jimmy Johnson
have you ever seen a black santa ?…just sayin : )

The deranged mind is the reprobate who posts a stupid article like this one trying slander a very good journalist, but then what would he know about journalism, judging from his article. Maybe he’s pissed because she made it clear there was NO Santa. The reality shock was too much for him to now be told his long held belief was a myth.

Just don’t admit me into Psychiatric Ward. They already have hard enough problem without me!

I thought this was supposed to be fiction. This is as close to reality as it gets except she hasn’t been admitted. Hopefully someone is driving her there right now though
Steve Harris
what about the red noise deer what to the native americans say about that . isn’t that an insult
Jewell Margolis
Wow the comments, if she truly has a mental illness shouldn’t be making fun of her.

Wow, I thought the conservatives were the ones who were supposed to be sexist . . .

Um Douglas Andrew Willinger what Irish people. You mean Americans who think they are Irish. If you born in the USA you are not Irish or any other EU country. She’s an American nutter born and bred. Not one ofus.

And this Ronnie Morris guy might well be the most stupid man on facebook.
Buddy Simmons
Why don’t you people just quit trying to analyze and call it what this bunch of trash actually is, an out and out lie, which Megyn haters and Fox haters are trying to use to drive viewers away from Fox.
She left to have a child, (horrors, big plot there) and went on vacation!
What if she does teach her children that Santa is white. Since she’s white, why not, he’s not even a real person. If a black person chooses to teach their children that Santa is black, so what? He’s not any color, at all! He’s not real! Make him up any color you want to!
So she believes Jesus is White? So what? I know that he was a Jew! His color isn’t what’s important about Jesus! What’s important is that he purchased Salvation for every man, woman and child who would believe in him, live the life set forth in the NEW TESTAMENT, and bring forth fruits meet for repentance!
I always taught my children that he was a Jew, case closed! Color isn’t a matter of Salvation that will determine whether you are accepted
Bob Campe
Let’s not make fun of her need for medical attention. Mental illness is something that needs attention. Good luck to her.

Not sure what is more retarded. Some who want to believe Santa can only be white, or those who want to believe that it is what she believes.

IF THIS IS TRUE—it is no doubt that she was admitted and further-more– more of FOX “NEWS” Crew should join her. FOX so called news is nothing BUT LIES -LIES- LIES.

I’d be all for Kelly getting shock treatment therapy. I would say she should be lobotomized but nature beat us to that.

I don’t like her or her fake reporting but I wish her well.

Foxnews definitely has a conservative bias. But, compared to ANY other major major news outlet (s/a CNN, MSNBC, NBC, et al), the accuracy of Fox reporting makes the aforementioned alternatives look like comic books. For God’s sake, Chris Matthews claimed Obama “has done everything right, just everything.” And this was after Benghazi, the NSA, and the IRS but before the more recent events of Obama’s leadership of America’s decline. Fox gets more viewership, but so many people get their news from flat out liars that he has yet to be tossed from office…only generally perceived by the informed population as the worst president in history. The man has intentionally damaged domestic economics and national security in the name of his socialistic tendencies, power, and money. History will excoriate him.
Crystal Gerard
Let me start by saying that i think fox news is junk food for your brain.
But this article is just a slander piece, seeming wholly untrue as i read it, and that this author has very little class or originality.
Even if it were true, so what?
Mental illnesses are not someone’s own fault, and certainly not to be made fun of or laughed at.
I pronounce this article pathetic, fake drivel.
Teresa Hambrick
Santa Clause is of all colors I sure was happy when I was a kid to see Santa Clause

Lana LJ Wiedrich
If this isn’t the dumbest thing I have ever read. Doesn’t the writer of this article have anything better to fill white. Plus, are they so liberal minded that they need to attack this anchor woman’s opinions (that’s all it is) and call her ‘insane’? Who cares what she thinks about Santa Clause’s color, or what the pepper spray is made of..I sure don’t. Then to put her in an asylum? Maybe she’s not as bright as some, but shes probably not insane either. “STUPID”….. News Media has plain lost their minds!!!…LOL this is why I don’t watch the news anymore. Fricken rediculous!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been reading comments here and apparently some people think this is an actual event. Folks: this is satire! It’s an Onion-like put-on. OK? It’s funny if you’re liberal, or even if, like me, you’re conservative and think things like this are funny regardless of whom they run down. Which I do. But the woman was not forcibly admitted into a psych ward.
The character upon which Santa Claus is based – St. Nicholas of Bari – was Turkish. Turks come in all colors in case anyone has looked recently (I have Turkish forebears myself). Therefore the color of his skin is irrelevant since we don’t know what it was anyway! He is depicted as white because his mythology and the idea for the character of Santa Claus started in Holland where a whole bunch of white people lived once upon a time. See what I just did there? That’s also satire. More like irony, but kind of satiric. Weak, I admit, but I’m just trying to make a point. Which I no longer remember.

You are all aware that this is satire, right?

I think this is some sort of joke just like “google tisp” remember? the one google prank many people believed was real.
Anyways, if this is in fact real than about 90% of people (Globally speaking) should get phychriatric help. Just about eveyone I know believes and defends their belief about some sort of God.
This is part of what I just read on just this one particular article:
Doctors say that “only someone very deranged would argue about a make-believe character’s race,” and Bass believes that Kelly will need months of close psychiatric attention in order to get better.
So, Santa Clause and All Gods fit in the same “Make believe” Category and yet… every single believer has not been admitted to “crazy house”
Jean Rhoads
Doesn’t sound right to me, but what do I know? I never watch her program.
