It's already being hyped as some kind of super smackdown, a highly anticipated round of televised combat.
And that sort of buildup misses the point of Megyn Kelly's interview with Donald Trump.
The anchor's prime-time special, which will air May 17 on the Fox broadcast network, is obviously big news because of the candidate's history of animosity toward her. It was news when Kelly met with him at Trump Tower, at her request, to clear the air, and it was news this week when Trump accepted the invitation.
Keep in mind that this high-profile sitdown is in both parties' interest. Kelly lands a conversation with the likely Republican nominee and gets to close book on a difficult chapter. Trump, who has high negatives with women, gets to mend fences with Fox's top female star and deliver his message to what is likely to be a large audience.
If people want to unload on the interview once it airs, have at it. Television is a spectator sport. The stakes are high, as Kelly knew they would be when she booked Trump for her first special.
But it is not Kelly's job to pummel him, ambush him or derail his candidacy. Her role is to ask questions that are tough but fair.
The latest headlines on the 2016 elections from the biggest name in politics.
In this hyperpartisan era, a candidate's detractors often complain that any interview that doesn't leave the person battered and bloodied is absurdly soft. And the candidate's fans often complain that any interview that doesn't qualify the candidate for Mount Rushmore is gotcha journalism. I've gotten deluged by both kinds of feedback for the same interview, believe me.
Journalists need to be aggressive when interviewing White House contenders and push past the talking points, but also treat them with respect.
What's more, we're not talking about a presidential debate here. It's not a segment on “The Kelly File.” It's for a broadcast network hour in the vein of the old Barbara Walters specials, taped well in advance and designed to focus in part on personality. The other guests, Fox announced yesterday, are actor Michael Douglas and former O.J. lawyer Robert Shapiro.
When the Washington Post calls for a “slowly executed dismemberment” of Trump, it sounds like the only acceptable outcome is torture.
“I was never going to love him, and I was never going to hate him,” Kelly told Vanity Fair. She was recalling how Trump once sent her press clippings about herself in what she described as an attempt to woo her.
Trump's attacks on Kelly began after the first presidential debate last August, when she pressed him on his past derogatory comments about women. He and many of his supporters found the question unfair; her defenders said she was simply confronting him with his own words. That's a fair argument to have; the same goes for Trump's complaints that her show has been unfair to him.
But things reached the point that Trump pulled out of Fox's Iowa debate, saying among other things that Kelly could not be fair to him. He later acknowledged that blowing off the debate hurt him in the caucuses.
Trump told me and other reporters that Kelly had been fair to him at the next Fox debate in Detroit. But things flared up again when Trump began ripping Kelly on Twitter as “crazy” and “sick,” prompting a blistering Fox statement accusing him of having a sick obsession with her.
What some people overlook is that this was a one-sided fight, with Kelly largely refraining from responding to the billionaire's taunts. No journalist wants to become the story, and Megyn, along with the rest of the media world, had to keep covering his candidacy.
Now everyone will get to weigh in on what is being billed as a rematch. But it should be scored as journalism, not blood sport.

There are now over 2,000 Mosque built in the USA, when 50 years ago there were only a hand full. Islam is not a religion, it is a Political System designed to enslave all men. These Mosque were bought and paid for by Arab Oil money. They are looking to take over the world by different means of Jihad. Islam and its practitioners need to be expelled from the USA with extreme prejudice. Would you let Cub, Communist Russia, or Hitler buy land and setup communist or fascist Churches? No! Them why is America selling land to Arabs who setup a political/religious outpost that are designed to convert people to its false religion, and enslave people with Sharia Law! There is a huge conspiracy going on, make no mistake about it!
Marketing Tools That Will Ease Tool Overload written by Alex Boyer read more at Duct Tape Marketing
Running a business is hard enough. Add in the need to market your business, and all of the websites, tools and tasks that come along with it, and it's easy to get overwhelmed. A forgotten password here or a missed task there can completely derail your day.
The truth is, sometimes tools that are meant to help can only add to your marketing exhaustion. Forgetting to check one program over another can mean you miss something, or maybe it will take more time than necessary when having to update several tools just to cover one task.
I call this tool overload. Occasionally, I'll find myself with so many tabs open on my browser I don't even know where to start. Sometimes, when you become overwhelmed, it's nice to know you have one place where all of your information is stored and secure, so you can take a step forward. Here are 3 marketing tools you can use to avoid tool overload.
The key to making Asana work without giving yourself tool overload is organization. Asana allows you to organize your tasks in numerous ways. You can group them into a project with subheaders. You can even build tasks with subtasks. No matter how you think your tasks should be organized, Asana can do it.
But, one of the best features of Asana is the due date system, that helps you create and keep deadlines, and even automatically repeat them for regular tasks. You can even organize your tasks by due date if, like me, you're someone who works well on-deadline.
As I mentioned above, there's nothing that derails my productivity quite like a missing password. In today's digital landscape, it's super easy to segment tools and find exactly what you want to do the job you need. But that usually comes with a different login, password or username with each tool. If you forget the password, you end up spending all day searching for the correct password, hoping for a quick response from support, or giving up on the task entirely.
LastPass collects all of your passwords and saves them, and all you have to do is remember one master password to access everything else. It's super simple, easy to install and use, and saves you time and effort. Add in the browser extension, and your browser will automatically populate LastPass passwords when you're on the site. Want extra security? LastPass can generate super secure random passwords. You can even share passwords with your team.
I can't remember the last time I had to remember a password.
Hootsuite is the best social media management tool for a reason. It incorperates all of your social media into one powerful platform. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Google+ all in one place. It's super easy to cross-promote across all platforms and update all of your pages quickly. Suddenly, a task that would require 5 windows open can be condensed into one.
Do you suffer from tool overload? Do you have any marketing tools that can help? Let me know in the comments below!
