Trump's Debate Boycott Throws Fox News Into Chaos
New York Magazine ^ | January 27, 2016 | Gabriel Sherman

Posted on 01/27/2016 12:51:33 AM PST by monkapotamus

Trump said he would host his own Iowa town hall to raise money for veterans and let other networks cover it. One clear sign of the gravity of tonight's development is the sense of confusion that is swirling throughout Fox. The network is split between Kelly's allies like Brit Hume and conservative anchors that are furious that Kelly - who graces the cover of Vanity Fair this month - has become the face of the network. An anchor fumed that Kelly hosted Michael Moore on her program tonight and the lefty filmmaker defended her against Trump. "That would be like Rachel Maddow laughing along with Charles Koch as he trashed Hillary Clinton!" the anchor said. One producer speculated that Fox could go "National Review" on Trump and start attacking him...

No matter how loudly GOP candidates complained about Fox's loutish politics in private, none risked taking Ailes on in public for fear of losing access to this crucial constituency - until Trump, that is. Even if Trump's boycott backfires, he's already achieved a historic victory: Exploding the myth that a Republican candidate can't openly challenge Fox.

The real reason is Cruz chews him up one side and spits him out the other.

Ugly ass white pumps

Only for weddings or prom or Easter

Not with Manhattan black

Standard Choo or Manalo black kitten heel pump much classier

Tsk tsk

I’ve been in the ladies shoes game since the 70s

So many Fox women are gorgeous but dress tarty in what looks like Body Glove stretch Lycra

And Megyn in her black leather.....channeling Helmut Newton

Jenna Lee the preggers again SEAL wife and the adorable Miami based weather chick both dress respectfully

Jenna publicly refuses to tart up

She says clubbing with hubby is one thing

Being a national news journalists another

Much as I love those gals looks....I have to agree

This isn’t Colombia or Italy yet

Your not the only one that knows how to load a meme. Doesn't add much to the debate so why don't we avoid being childish.

You did notice post debate polls

Methinks you see what you need to see

Ted is smart no question but not invincible

Another thing.....one reads Washington and Jefferson spoke poorly in public unlike orators like Franklin or Henry or Mason

It’s not a determinant except on TV

Bill Clinton is incredible on TV

George W Bush terrible

Which do we prefer...,

Sometimes it comes together......Julius Caesar.....Churchill.....Magnus

What is incredible is that Megyn Kelly is proud of her first question attacking Trump!

Almost 100 Million people out of work and $30 TRILLION debt forecasted (by the CBO) and she's asking about Rosie O'Donnell?

Are they any adults at FOX? I know it's RINO Central, but just a little good judgement would go a long way.

Right you are and in spades. But at least she wasn't wearing her usual "F" MED SHOES, that she can't even walk in.

Then there are the TARTISH, skin tight clothes on a body that needs help; not exposure.

To hear from the other candidates, because nothing is a sure thing.

FOX, which has been berated as a right-wing know-nothing channel, is showing it’s independence and showing it has more cojones than the Libs when it comes to the phony, Trump. They’re not bowing to the hubris of Trump. Meanwhile, Trump’s inner liberal is coming out. He needs his safe zone! LOL. He’s such a pansy and a spastic that he should go back to being a New York Liberal and quit pretending he’s a conservative.

Cruz is taking the long road on that. I don’t he’s trying to, until become between the two. There is no point in wasting ammunition that could be used later.

Yet Trump wants to make deals with Democrats. So when his inner Democrat comes out, maybe he and Michael Moore will get together. Then, Trump can be in his safety zone, the big pansy.
