Megyn Kelly shockingly declared that she ‘was part of the problem’ regarding NBC’s coverage of transgender issues while she worked at the network

Megyn Kelly shockingly declared that she ‘was part of the problem’ regarding NBC’s coverage of transgender issues while she worked at the network.

‘The news media is part of the problem. I worked at NBC. I was part of the problem while there,’ Kelly, 54, admitted on her popular SiriusXM show Tuesday.

‘It was early on in this whole thing, but it was, frankly – it was late enough that I should have known better,’ explained the conservative commentator, who left NBC in 2018 after defending blackface as an appropriate Halloween costume.

‘But the whole thing hadn’t exploded in the way it has. This was back in 2018. However, NBC has learned nothing.

‘They’ve learned nothing from the explosion of this ideology amongst children and their testimonials and the data we now have on what puberty blockers into cross-sex hormones does to a young girl’s or boy’s fertility and sexual function,’ the one-time Fox News host continued.

‘Nothing. They’ve paid zero attention.’

In February 2018, Kelly welcomed an 11-year-old transgender girl and her family to the set of her NBC show, which ran for a little over a year.

‘You’re about to meet a family whose unconditional love for their children will likely Inspire you to be a more understanding, supportive parent,’ Kelly said to start the segment. ‘It did me.’

The rest of the interview carried a similar tone – one the host said she regretted more than seven years later.

‘It’s all about you have to affirm, or you’re a bigot,’ Kelly said Tuesday, revealing how NBC higher-ups regularly ‘refused’ to use biological language and instead elected for preferred pronouns when discussing transgender issues.

‘They refuse to use biologically based language,’ she said.

The acknowledgment served as a continuation of Kelly’s critiques of the media’s approach, which some have said borders on bias.

Several have said that such coverage – especially when it involves kids – should be tempered with critical reporting.

Kelly – who spent 13 years at Fox News before joining NBC – has repeatedly pointed to this dynamic on her radio show.

In November, she took aim at MSNBC star Jen Psaki for what she called lying about challenges posed by trans athletes competing in women’s sports.

Kelly left NBC weeks after making comments about blackface in late 2018. She is seen here apologizing on-air weeks before being fired

More recently,  she complained about how key details in the case surrounding a transgender Nashville school shooter accused of killing six people at a Christian school she used to attend were only coming out now.

They contained journal passages showing alleged killer Audrey Hales’ obsession with gender identity and race, and were released by new FBI boss Kash Patel in April.

Immediately after, Kelly questioned why the full scope of what was contained in the journals was kept under wraps.

‘The report from the Nashville police barely touched on… the killer’s struggles with her gender and her obsession with gender identity [and] alarming racial animus toward herself as a white person and how those factors contributed to the act that she committed that day,’ Kelly said on April 7.

‘Why do you think they excluded all of this? Why are those two things too hot to touch?’

Kelly joined NBC in July 2017, six months after leaving Fox. She hosted NBC’s Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly and the daytime talk show Megyn Kelly Today.

Before being let go on January 11, 2019 – less than three months after her blackface comment – she was reportedly raking in $15 million a year. She was paid the remainder of her contract, reportedly $30million, at the time as well.
