Alex Cooper is the host of a podcast titled ‘Call Her Daddy’. It is an irreverent podcast about dating and relationships and current events. it’s extremely popular among young women. Cooper was the podcaster who interviewed Kamala during the last election. Anyway, Cooper is a mega feminist and it would have been an interesting debate. Apparently, Megyn didn’t think so. 

Bari Weiss’s very public break with Megyn Kelly came after Kelly quietly rebuffed weeks of behind-the-scenes lobbying to appear in a CBS debate with “Call Her Daddy” podcaster Alex Cooper, according to a report.

Weiss courted Kelly to take part in a high-profile feminism debate as CBS News prepared to roll out a new town hall series under Weiss’s leadership, Vanity Fair reported.

Kelly declined, a rejection that preceded Weiss’s decision to promote Ben Shapiro’s onstage broadside against the former Fox News star at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest.

According to this report, that upset Weiss and so she sided with Ben Shapiro after he had beef with Kelly. 

Kelly has since described Shapiro’s move as a “betrayal by a friend” accused Weiss of backing an effort to freeze dissent out of the conservative movement under the guise of moral policing over Israel.

“Bari, for all of her proselytizing about how bad cancel culture is, has not been canceled,” Kelly told Vanity Fair in a new interview.

“As she gets more powerful, she wants more and more censorship on her signature issue, which is Israel.”

According to this story, the whole reason Bari Weiss “turned against” Megyn Kelly was because Kelly allegedly rejected an offer to appear on CBS News

So, what was the big attack Bari Weiss made on Megyn Kelly?

She posted an article that was a transcript of Ben Shapiro’s speech… https://t.co/d34Bh2CeM9 pic.twitter.com/pFjCiJmcoW

It’s quite a reach. Just because Weiss seemingly agrees with Shapiro doesn’t mean she is angry with Kelly. 

This is obviously sourced by Kelly’s camp in a PR scramble to explain her actions

Incredibly biased reporting here. Perhaps the New York Post needs an editorial overhaul also.Why not include the rationale for Weiss’s decision to pull the episode?

Many tweeps aren’t buying the story. 

I find this exceptionally hard to believe given the timing of Kelly’s comments and complete 180.

Is this a news story or an editorial? Ffs, it gives Megyn’s side only. She obviously is calling reporters at the Post to feed them this “news.” She makes an assertion that two things happening means one caused the other. Where’s the proof?
