Connecticut's NBC Station Won't Air Megyn Kelly Interview With Alex Jones

Connecticut's NBC station will not air the controversial Megyn Kelly interview Sandy Hook denier Alex Jones Sunday, according to an internal memo obtained by The Courant.

Officials at WVIT and NBC-Universal in New York declined to comment on the decision Friday evening.

In the memo to WVIT staff, Susan Tully, the station's general manager and president, said that because the wounds caused by the Sandy Hook tragedy are "understandably still so raw, we have decided not to air this week's episode of Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly."

Whenever there is news about Sandy Hook, "we know that the pain resurfaces for our community," Tully wrote. "Over the last few days, we have listened intently to Sandy Hook parents {and} considered the deep emotions from the wounds of that day that have yet to heal."
