Megyn Kelly had a bone or two to pick with the way her network's competitors covered Donald Trump's ballyhooed meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan and Republican leaders on Thursday.

During a panel on "The Kelly File" with Fox News Digital Politics editor Chris Stirewalt, the Daily Wire editor in chief Ben Shapiro and radio host Dana Loesch, Kelly remarked upon The Washington Post proclaiming its editorial independence from owner Jeff Bezos despite having assigned 20 reporters to dig into the presumptive Republican nominee's biography.


After Stirewalt remarked upon the "breathless" media coverage of Trump's visit — "like the papal visit to Washington, D.C.," Kelly chimed in with some mockery of her own.

"The countdown on MSNBC, they had a countdown clock," she said, referring to the network's clock ticking down to the Trump/Ryan confab.

"Look, look CNN with a shot of Trump's plane," Kelly remarked, as footage from CNN appeared on screen. "Wolf Blitzer was walking us through the plane's progress on the tarmac."

Loesch joked, "I was shocked they didn’t have a hologram. That’s the next thing that comes, right?"

"You would have thought it was the second coming," Kelly said, poking fun at MSNBC's "Breaking News" chyron that read “Breaking News: Trump Gives Thumbs Up Heading Into Meeting"

“What in the hell is going on here with the plane on the tarmac? They’re treating him like he’s some sort of J.D. Salinger-esque recluse," Shapiro commented.

Before the end of the segment, Kelly made sure to note that even Fox News could not claim total innocence with its coverage.

“I do want to say, it wasn’t just the other networks. We also had an eight-box up at some point," she said. " And in MSNBC's defense, there was a day here at Fox News when was I was a cub reporter in the D.C. Bureau when I saw the following: Fox News Alert: The White House Christmas Tree Has Arrived at the White House. None of us has perfectly clean hands."
