Megyn Kelly Won't Name Ft. Hood Shooter, But Is Fine With Describing His Ethnicity

TOM KLUDT – APRIL 3, 2014, 10:50 AM EDT

Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly took a stand against naming the soldier who opened fire at Fort Hood on Wednesday, but she didn't have a problem dropping an ethnic description of the shooter.

Kelly opened her show on Wednesday night with an explanation of her show's policy.

"Authorities are identifying the shooter. If you are interested you can get his name on other shows, like the one that preceded this one and online, but we have decided not to name these mass killers as a policy here on the ‘Kelly File,’" Kelly said.

She stuck to the policy later in the program, but casually offered a description of the suspect based on his name.

Ivan Lopez. That's right. How does that fit in with your post-war communist conspiracy?

served 8 years in the PR National Guard but, I'm sure they'll soon be portraying him as a radical Puerto Rican nationalist.

This is the same anchor who helped popularize the NBPP in the heat of the '08 elections.
