Be so good, they cant ignore you.

Kellys other questions actually seemed like they were intended to humanize Trump.
Kelly wondered if Trump became a bullier because he was bullied himself as a kid.
On Twitter, people complained that Kelly had lost her edge.
Coming up soon in Kelly-Trump interview: Do you like ice cream?
; Backstreet Boys or N*SYNC?'
joked Pete Catapano ofSalon.
I read passages, he confessed.
I dont have time.
Shes not warm enough to be Oprah, and she doesnt have Roses depth.
Every time, she failed to bring up the most interesting topics.
She never addressedthe controversysurrounding Coxs upcoming role in Foxs reboot ofTheRocky Horror Picture Show.
She didnt push Shapiro on the moral implications of his O.J.Simpson defense.
These werent conversations; they were a collection of mediocre sound bites.
Its hard to criticize her for giving her so-called enemy exactly the kind of attention he wants.
What media entity hasnt been complicit in the massive amount of media coverage devoted to Trump?
But really, this wasnt a crisis of politics.
It was a crisis of entertainment.
There was no intimacy between Kelly and her subjects.
Just a lot of wasted potential.
You might describe his appearance on Kellys special the same way.
