Speaking on her SiriusXM show this morning, American commentator and media personality Megyn Kelly criticized Fox News’ coverage of events in Venezuela, saying it resembled “Russian propaganda” and lacked skepticism. Kelly said the network’s reporting was dominated by uncritical cheerleading, adding that while she supports the U.S. military and believes in President Trump, the situation warrants caution.

She explained that she is deliberately remaining in a “yellow-light” position—not fully supportive or opposed—drawing on her own past experience as a Fox News anchor. Kelly acknowledged the strategic arguments behind U.S. actions, particularly concerns over Russian, Chinese, and Cuban influence in Venezuela and its oil sector, which she called the most compelling rationale.

However, she warned against repeating past mistakes, noting that enthusiastic support for U.S. interventions has often led to long-term quagmires such as Iraq and Libya. Kelly also raised concerns about the possibility of U.S. troops on the ground, questioning whose children would be asked to serve. Speaking as a parent, she said many families share her apprehension and emphasized that she will not join what she described as Fox News’ “cheerleading brigade” until more is known.
