TRUMP: I'm Boycotting Fox News

Real-estate tycoon Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will no longer do interviews on Fox News shows because the network has been treating him "unfairly."

".@FoxNews has been treating me very unfairly & I have therefore decided that I won't be doing any more Fox shows for the foreseeable future," the Republican presidential front-runner wrote on Twitter.

It wasn't immediately clear what caused Trump to announce the boycott, but he has repeatedly feuded with the network in recent days and weeks.

On Monday night and Tuesday morning, Trump released a lengthy tweetstorm attacking hosts Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly, as well as the "Trump haters" they have on their shows.

He called Kelly "the worst" and labeled her show "terrible." He said O'Reilly "was very negative to me in refusing to post the great polls that came out today including NBC."

He also said he had a hard time watching Fox News, while retweeting multiple supporters trashing Fox and calling for a boycott of the network because of its supposed bias against him.

I am sitting out the Presidential election. No candidate is conservative enough for me.

And yet you bashed Palin? You're a liar, and your opinion is evidently irrelevant! Glad you're not voting.

That was rude. I like Trump, but that kind of post does him no favours, so I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t make him and his supporters look bad by behaving badly.

Please, he's a clown being nasty. He even complains about the sound of Sarah Palin's voice and is evidently all in on the destruction of this country. No reason to be nice to him.

These are perfectly appropriate questions to confront any candidate with these and other questions. Trump has to learn that attacking the questioner won’t work should he get the nomination.

I don’t know what an “amnesty pimp” is, other than an insult. My position on immigration is that it must be severely curtailed, and when allowed, open to all peoples equally - which means Europeans and Christians along with the regulars.

Felons need to be deported.

We both know that there is no way in the real world ANYONE, included Trump, is going to deport 11 million people. Even he has said the “good ones’” are welcome.

So..my position on immigration is much like that of the vast majority of Rep candidates, all of whom, unlike Trump, have decent conservative track records.

I will vote for the Republican against any Dem, even if that means Trump. I just really hope it’s not Trump.

‘There are numerous “qualified” Republican “conservative” candidates running who would/will be better than Obama.’

That has zero to do with the point I posted to you about. You said you couldn’t imagine a person with Trump’s “behavioral impediments” being POTUS. I pointed out that that is comparing Trump unfavorably to Obama, and that it is incorrect to do so. Obama has more behavioral impediments in his little finger than Trump has total.

If, for example, ALL you considered was Obama’s deep, pathological and visceral hatred for traditional USA, you are still talking about a more screwed up person than the patriot Trump. After all the fame, fortune, power and lavish perks the US has given Obama, if anything he hates both regular citizens and the US even more than before [if recent behavior is any indication].

Using a conservative site to unfavorably compare the leading GOP candidate to such a dark, twisted, perverse and destructive personality as Obama is just wrong.

"So according to you, Trump is more psychologically screwed up than Obam"

Show me where I said that. Specifically. I'll wait for it.

I’ve boycotted Fix News too!

I go as far to make sure my digital cable box never rests on Fox News, whether my TV is on or off. Don’t want them to any get positive viewing data.

“I’m simply noting that some claim Trump has more serious ‘behavioral impediments’ than Obama. It’s a bizarre claim, and that’s the absolute nicest thing I can say about it.”

No - you compared the two, I didn’t, and I wasn’t thinking about Obama in my writings - you stuck him in there on your own.

It is my opinion Trump should not be President. I will vote for another Republican candidate in the primary. When you get to the primary, you will note Obama is not on the Republican ballot, and likely not on the Democrat ballot (but who knows). :o)

I am sick of it all. Sick of Hillary, sick of Jebby and Karl, sick of the media, sick of the slime, sick of no one pushing back on the destruction of this nation, sick of that evil fraud global warming/climate change, sick of the Pope, and sick of the crap they call news. There is a religion who has as its tenant raping boys/girls/whatever and chopping heads off. What the hell are we thinking? There is very little time left or we are all doomed...Pray that the Lord intervenes because the Devil is on the end game.

Now I only watch MSNBC and AlJazerra. They are the ones that are truly Fair and Balanced. Rachel Maddow is awesome! (plus a lot easier on the eyes that Megan Kelly).

I think you forgot your *sarcasm* tag. ;^)

“It’s all about Trump. /S”

"Yes it is, matter of fact. "

Your affirmation indicates it might be time for deprogramming.

Let me give you a clue. It isn't about Trump. In case you haven't noticed, the world is burning, yet that childish egomaniac can't see past the latest perceived slight.

Read the word!

The whole story is laid out in vivid detail; no need for doubt.

The Last Trump is going to be a truly glorious event.

“It is impossible to think of a man with these behavioral impediments being President of the United States.”

‘That’s the bottom line, isn’t it?’

When the two of you say things like this about Trump, while Obama is sitting in the Oval Office, you are indeed comparing Trump unfavorably to Obama. That is a fact.

Harris Faulkner is no way any less of a soccer mom liberal than Megyn Kelly. Plus she sued Hasbro Toys over a chipmunk, a true jump-the-shark moment if there ever was one.
