This afternoon on “America Live,” Fox News’ Megyn Kelly discussed the controversy over actor Jason Biggs’ filthily misogynistic tweets about Paul Ryan, Janna Ryan, and Ann Romney. Twitchy has been on top of this story and has covered it at length, but today marks the first time a major media outlet has addressed it.
Viewers were thrilled that Biggs’ comments were finally being spotlighted by the national media:
Thanks @megynkelly… @FoxNews finally reporting @Jasonbiggs misogynistic Tweets and the lack of response from @NickelodeonTV.. @TwitchyTeam

Kelly spoke with Fox Business correspondent Dennis Kneale, who reported on the pressure Nickelodeon is facing to fire Biggs. He remarked that Biggs has yet to issue any semblance of an apology and that representatives from Nickelodeon have not returned calls.

Kelly herself called the tweets “really disturbing, vile, and hateful.”
Megyn Kelly: I went to @JasonBiggs twitter page, really disturbing, vile, hateful material on there. I don't recommend it. @Nickelodeontv

@michellemalkin @megynkelly @NickelodeonTV @JasonBiggs Hey Nickelodeon, how long does it take to decide you are for or against depravity?
— CDB (@quietnolonger) September 4, 2012
@megynkelly ALL the filthy/vile comments, protests, etc., always come from Democrats. As a nation, how can we support this? Fire Biggs!
— Suzette York (@SuzetteYork) September 4, 2012
Yes @MegynKelly! @NickelodeonTV should fire @JasonBiggs for his vile comments — he is a spokesperson talking to young kids — not cool!
— Stacey Kannenberg (@StaceyKann) September 4, 2012
With a national spotlight now being shown on Pig Biggs, will Nickelodeon finally move out from behind the nasty actor and stand up for kids instead?
