Donald Trump vs. Fox News: ‘I got you the highest debate ratings in your history’
CNN Money Article on wtvr.com ^ | 8/7/2015 | CNN Money

Trump’s battles with Kelly will probably further burnish the anchorwoman’s reputation as a tough-as-nails television star. The conservative cable news channel has sought to market Kelly as a strong and independent voice.

Inside Fox, the view at the end of the debate was that all three moderators — Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace — had fared well, and that Kelly was the stand-out.

Some political observers said that Fox’s post-debate coverage seemed tilted against Trump, partly because of a Frank Luntz focus group, convened by Fox and televised immediately after the debate, that had an anti-Trump tone.

Trump was incensed by the focus group.

“Where did you find that dumb panel” he asked Luntz via Twitter.

He also tweeted that Luntz is “a low class slob who came to my office looking for consulting work and I had zero interest. Now he picks anti-Trump panels!”

No, because he’s a fat slob in a bad wig who is known to be nasty to his panelists. Hannity has had to stop advertising him because the blowback by prospective panelists was so very bad. Hannity confronted him once and Luntz whined like a little boy - you know, the way people are saying Trump whined.

I sure hope people on this db start waking up to this. I am really worried too many people are buying into Trump way too much. Glad to see there are a few on this thread like you who that realize what Trump is like from a political point of view.

We can do better than Trump.

(HInt. He's a lifelong Dem posing currently as a Conservative. He is Hillary's Perot. He doesn't believe what he says, and we should not either!)

We need an alternative to Fox News?

I stopped watching them years ago. Along with the rest. It’s unfortunate they allowed participants to be moderators.

I caught about 4 minutes of that after show propaganda show of the card carrying GOP group on the bleachers.

Nasty foul stuff. Looking sharp GOP.

““Where did you find that dumb panel”

I always hated those biased focus groups who think their opinions are so darn important!

They have been reading them . Brett read some of them tonight at the end of his show . Said they would continue to read and report on them . The entire panel seemed quite defensive tonight .

This makes three of us. Trump is rude, thin skinned and would be a horrible president. Can you imagine not being able to disagree with any of his “policies.” He is very fast with the irrational and uncivil comeback. He is no Washington and isn’t Washington a better example of character.

Freepers, he is NOT the person for the job and you know it.

Or, the internet polls weren’t reflective of the panel...

Besides, if the panel was manipulated by the Fox honchoes, their votes would NOT have gone to Cruz.

Reasonable question, my good FRiend, and nice catch. Please allow me to rephrase.

Lifelong Dem Trump does not actually believe what he now says, and we should not believe that he does.
