“There’s very few moments occurring on the network that Ailes doesn’t have a hand in–times that by 100 for a GOP presidential debate,” network insider tells TheWrap.
Donald Trump is no longer sure if “Fox is fair” and network chairman Roger Ailes is certainly listening.
Spurned by the network debate moderators’ tough line of questioning, which included Megyn Kelly asking Trump to defend previous comments about women being “fat pigs, dogs and disgusting animals,” the real estate mogul went on the offensive after the debate.
“I’m not sure that Fox is fair necessarily,” he said, claiming the other candidates told him they were glad they didn’t field the tough questions he did and “congratulated” him. On Kelly specifically, Trump said the Fox News host’s line of questioning was not “professional”and although he can handle tough questions, they should be spread around to all the candidates.
“I’m very surprised at Fox News that they would do that; I would say it’s pretty unprofessional,” he said.

Yup. Scarborough sees a way, perhaps, of ciphoning off viewers from that awful Fox & Friends show. And I’m no fan of him or his show. Bring back Imus!
Thank goodness for Free Republic. I’m fast running out of conservative news locations.
Cruz is my guy. Trrump would find the presidency too tedious and would be the spoiled brat Meagan Kelly is.
Right!
I watched Imus.
That’s horrible. Trump should have created some sort of welfare program to put your classmates into so their lives weren’t ruined. Since he’s responsible and all, and flying around in a helicopter, he should have shared some of that the wealth too. (Do I even need the /s??)
And Obama...as "community organizer" in Chicago.....wrecked a whole community.
I always thought I was the first person to call him Dr. Strangelove until I learned that the left has called him that for years.
Fan-frikkin’-tastic!
Maybe the classmates could get a free helicopter ride at the Iowa State Fair!
lol!
Well, don’t forget the Senior Murdoch has retired, and one of his sons has now taken over at FOX. Can’t remember his name, but he’s much more left than his father.
I’m not sure Ailes is to blame .. he’s always been a friend of Rush Limbaugh; usually people who are friends with Rush are not in the Left category.
Those Eyes are spot on...
He is a douchebag with no shame.
Yeah...Obama sucks.
I thought the debates were horrible. Mostly because of the moderators who kept patting themselves on the back. They were awful. Megyn was the worst and the debate did nothing to bring out anything as far as issues are concerned. Just a dog and pony show giving air time.
Little miss Megyn-tart delivered for her Fox sugar daddy didn’t she? She surely did.
I do wonder about her....never mind. I will leave it at that.
You’re correct! The American public were the biggest losers of the night. Not one important policy discussion was had in the two hours of *high school theater.*
I read where someone suggested Trump by air time during the next Fox debate, refuse to go to the Fox debate and spend his time on CNN responding to the questions.
Let’s see what happens to the Fox ratings then!
“Roger Ailes plan worked to perfection
He left the other networks with no substantial questions to ask”
you’re being sarcastic right?
No questions to ask?
Iran nukes
voter fraud
gun rights
fetal organ harvesting (not abortion as MK twisted it)
TPP
NSA spying
Russia’s hack of the Pentagon
IRS
Are you kidding? You can’t possibly pretend that all the candidates covered those topics (and others) in detail last night.
There are PLENTY of REAL issues to discuss. The Fox moderators were too busy patting themselves on the back after their *gotchya* circle jerk.
Come on!
Can you name a person he destroyed so I can research the issue?
Trump should buy FOX and fire both Ailes and Kelly.
