Others agreed that Kelly did a fine job, but that the interview was an overall win for Jones. Watching @megynkelly interview with Alex Jones, I'm even more convinced that her piece wasn't just ok to do, but important journalism. If the Jones interview was a play for ratings, as some had said, it didn't really work. Since the interview was announced the week prior, NBC and Kelly had received backlash from those who say Jones doesn’t deserve a platform. With last night's interview, Kelly may be starting to prove that she's a good hand, but to win big, she'll have to be able to pull in higher ratings.
