" Megyn Kelly, co-anchor (with Bill Hemmer) of &amp;quot;America&amp;#x27;s Newsroom&amp;quot; on Fox News, is attending both conventions as an anchor and reporter. She also happens to be a lawyer and a fellow upstate New York native. She sat down with me to talk about her experiences at this convention. Is this your first series of conventions? And how are you liking it so far? It is! I love it, I think the energy is palpable&amp;amp;#8212;not only here at Fox News, with all these bodies running around doing what they&amp;#x27;re doing, but at that convention center, you can feel the energy in the room. And whatever your party affiliation, you feel like a great patriot watching these people that have given up time in their personal lives to come out here and rally for a cause they believe in. Obviously, there&amp;#x27;s been some controversy and some protestors targeting Fox News. Have you seen any of that yourself? Or has it been mostly your colleagues? This is the first I&amp;#x27;m hearing of it. I haven&amp;#x27;t seen it, I haven&amp;#x27;t felt it, in fact, quite the contrary. I&amp;#x27;ve had a very warm [reception] from everybody over in that convention center. I have to tell you, I&amp;#x27;m right in the middle of it, standing out on the platform, walking through the floor, they&amp;#x27;ve been wonderful. How did you end up hear, starting off at Syracuse University as a political science major and ending up here as an anchor at Fox News, standing on the floor at the Democratic National Convention? Well, in another life, I was a lawyer. And I liked it at first, but then I got a bit burned out by the end. I thought that there must be something I could do that is both intellectually stimulating and interesting. The law for me was the former but not the latter. I&amp;#x27;d always been interesting in broadcast journalism&amp;amp;#8212;it&amp;#x27;s why I went to Syracuse [for my undergraduate degree], as a matter of fact&amp;amp;#8212;so I decided to go back and take some classes. Then I met with a bunch of friends that were in the journalism industry and did an unofficial internship at the Chicago affiliate. I moved to Washington, D.C., and I thought, What the heck. So I walked into the ABC affiliate in Washington, D.C., hijacked the news director, and said, &amp;quot;Here I am, this is what I want: One day a week, I&amp;#x27;ll check you out, you check me out. If we don&amp;#x27;t like each other, we can declare it over immediately. You don&amp;#x27;t even have to pay me, I&amp;#x27;ll continue to eat off my law job, and if I stink, you don&amp;#x27;t have to air any of my stuff, we&amp;#x27;ll just put it all on tape.&amp;quot; And he agreed... And the next thing I knew, one day a week turned into two days a week turned into three days a week turned into a full-time job. So, were you always interested in politics, or were you more interested in journalism? I felt the call to this industry because I enjoy broadcast journalism. I&amp;#x27;m steeped in the news because I enjoy the news&amp;amp;#8212;I like reading papers, I like reading the blogs, I love talking to newsmakers and pundits, for that matter, about their opinions. I&amp;#x27;m an information gatherer by nature, so that&amp;#x27;s what attracted me about this industry."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
