Megyn Kelly has long refused to play the partisan game, and her recent candor about her friendship with Glenn Greenwald proves it. She and Greenwald have appeared together repeatedly on her program, sparring fiercely on some issues while still treating one another with mutual respect off-camera. Their dynamic is a reminder that principled disagreement — not tribal purity tests — should guide conservative media and public discourse.
At the end of May 2025, Greenwald was the target of a cruel and calculated leak of private videos, and Kelly publicly pushed back against what looked like a politically motivated attempt to weaponize somebody’s private life. She didn’t pretend to agree with all of his politics; she simply defended the basic decency of not criminalizing private consensual behavior or using it as a cudgel in political fights. That kind of common-sense defense of privacy is exactly the sort of stand conservatives should applaud rather than denigrate.
Make no mistake, Kelly and Greenwald have had their sharp public disagreements — most notably over U.S. support for Israel and other foreign policy flashpoints where their instincts diverge. Those debates can get heated, but they are also substantive, evidence-based, and far preferable to the performative outrage the mainstream media traffics in. Watching them debate shows that strong convictions can coexist with respect, and that’s a lesson the culture should learn again.
Glenn Greenwald’s own history of calling out the media’s biases — including being effectively blacklisted by cable outlets for breaking inconvenient truths — aligns with Kelly’s long crusade against the same institutional rot. Conservatives ought to welcome allies who expose the left-wing media’s double standards, even when we disagree on policy details, because the collapse of journalistic integrity hurts the country first and the right second. This strategic, principle-first approach to alliances is how we reclaim truth from the swamp.
What Kelly’s remarks and her defense of Greenwald really show is character: she’s not interested in cancel-culture pile-ons or the cheap dopamine of social-media witch hunts. She embodies the conservative virtue of standing up for individual rights — including privacy and due process — while still arguing vigorously about policy. If conservatives are serious about defending liberty, we should imitate that blend of courage and intellectual honesty rather than succumbing to reflexive tribalism.
Hardworking Americans are tired of elites who weaponize personal scandals and media institutions that lie by omission. Megyn Kelly’s friendship with Glenn Greenwald, and her willingness to both disagree and defend him when decency demands it, is a model for how principled conservatives should operate in a toxic media landscape. We should celebrate independent thought, protect privacy from political hackers, and keep fighting to restore honest, no-nonsense journalism in this country.
