Trump Says “Bye-bye” to FOX
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/27/16 | Dr. Brad Lyles

Posted on 01/27/2016 8:16:35 AM PST by Sean_Anthony

Trump likely understands the turmoil likely to result from his decision--and Trump almost always benefits from turmoil. Perhaps this time he will as well.

Trump pounded another stake into the heart of today's so-called Mainstream Media.

Trump's decision to withdraw from the coming Republican debate will be financially devastating for Fox News. And, Trump's decision to withdraw will almost certainly harm Fox more than Trump.

But why did Trump take this path at this time?

My wife says that DT does not want to go head-to-head with Senator Cruz just before the caucus.

Thats what Fox is.

Trump has more patience than I do... I dumped Fox months ago.

Bias is one thing, but trying to trap and destroy one candidate isn’t journalism. The GOP has too long tolerated the bias in the debates and has been spineless in not forcing a more balanced approach.

Maybe that is the wrong question! Why did Fox not remove Magyn Kelly for some one else in their debate? After all they’re a news organization and the debate is about the election. Or is it Fox?

I’m saying bye bye too. I haven’t watched anything on Fox for a while now except the morning show. I guess I’ll try tuning into Morning Joe. Or probably just stick to my local news.

GOOD, THAT’s Great Don........Now we can watch some real issues being discussed without watching your smug facial expressions, your lack of communication skills. Grunts I think they were called recently, true, it’s true.

They’ve already had a half dozen shows. Cruz has had plenty of time already to do that if he could or would.

It is clear, the forum of that debate is dishonest with that Trump-hater Megyn Kelly, in the first debate the first thing out of her Republican establishment mouth was that disgusting off-topic crap question to Trump in what I consider the lowest point of US Presidential debates in history, “You (Trump) called women fat pigs, dogs, slobs” in an obvious (and failed attempt) to dislodge his candidacy.

No Megyn bimbo, he didn’t call “women” fat, he called a fat pig and a loser fat who happened to be a woman. Megyn’s PC straight-jacket means you cannot ever call a person fat if the person is a woman, as if women carte blanche are a special victim class that no one person of that class can be called fat without cummiting a hate crime on all women.

I have news for Kelly’s crap antics, some women ARE fat, and if I want to call some slob a slob, tough luck, I am not going to follow some PC straight-jacket on speech rules that Megyn is abusung for her own agendas.

I call that pig dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, a fatso all the time, in fact in most of my posts regarding NK on the internet I simply reference that pig as “fatso” and everybody knows who I am talking about.

So am I calling ALL men fat if I call fatso fat? Am I “insulting men” if I call that pig and slob and disgusting animal Kim Jong-un a “fatso”?

Really? Kelly is a disgusting PC operative of the establishment, so she can as me the question, “You have called men fat” - OMG, I have insulted all men!

I tuned into the first debate to hear about the issues from all the candidates, not this crap that came out of Megyn Kelly’s mouth that was totally off subject and a waste of air time and turned a “debate” into an Iranian Court run by Mullahs as the “moderators”.

Would anyone want a President of the United States to stand in front of some jackal Mullahs of Iran and then be told by them “You have drunk beer and are condemned to hell”? and be subject to such “questions” by jackals?

Megyn didn’t ask a “question”, she just made an outrageous statement to attack Trump, no different than the Mullahs of Iran and their agenda.

I would not want President Trump stand before a Mullah jackal and listen to such crap anymore than from that Mullah Megyn. To not subject oneself and the country to such “shoe throwing” isn’t cowardice, it is bravery and saying “screw you, I am not yours for interrogation”, I want my President to tell such Mullahs or Putin exactly what the conditions are going to be when meeting at the table, and it isn’t going to be the way Megyn Kelly wants it.

I said then and there, I never want to see that piece of self-promotion Kelly Megyn as a “moderator” ever again. And damn straight, I am not going to watch any “debate” with that self-promoting interrogator Mullah Megyn and her fatwahs again. And I won’t. Screw her.

Trump will be talking directly to the people of Iowa that day, not standing like some “guilty” sucker of a Mullah like Megyn the Mullah interrogating and wasting air time for her own self-promotion. Just one more reason I am voting for Trump, Go Trump!

She may be correct with her conjecture. Why would DT want to give TC another chance to cut into Trump's leading in the Iowa polls?

FNC seems to be helping Trump with every negative ploy they try to harm his favorable standing with a lot of people. Maybe Fox news people never were all that brilliant anyway. I tuned out (cut cable) several years ago.

We'll see probably in the next week or two whether my preferred candidate Ted Cruz is worthy of my continue support.

That is unusual that a woman supporting another woman. I think Fox should drop Magyn Kelly and re-invite, Trump to the debate. Fox has made the debate about Magyn Kelly not the election.

Fuxx gets ratings results daily. If all Trumps supporters do not watch for even one day Fuxx will know.

Making demeaning remarks about Trump our party front runner and planning to ambush him at the next debate resulted in Trump deciding not to show up.

Boycott Fux and send them a message.

Breitbart has an article about Murdoch financing open borders and amnesty for illegals, and unlimited H1b visas

I am sick of the biased media with their evil men and evil women who lie to Americans everyday, they have learned from the democrat communists how to destroy and pillage with words of deceit. I find them disgusting. And Megyn Kelly is typical of liberal rinos who vote for leftists and rinos as they put out the rino lies of their masters, including McConnell and Obama and Pelosi and Reed and Ryan and .......

I predict other candidates will drop out of the debate.

Without the front runner there they will be participating in a ratings flop and look like they just showed up to make money for FUX, that they are backing Ailes and the Bimbo with the crooked nose.
