Only a day after Donald Trump announced that he was boycotting Fox News— and after Fox News announced they had cancelled him first– the network has announced that they will enter talks with Trump to discuss his concerns.
Below is the full statement, provided to Mediaite by a Fox News spokesperson:
Fox News Chairman & CEO Roger Ailes and Donald Trump spoke this morning and plan to have a meeting next week to discuss their differences of opinion regarding Fox’s coverage of Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign. Ailes will be joined by senior Fox editorial executives. Mr. Trump believes he has been treated unfairly in certain instances. FOX News has held every candidate in this race to the highest journalistic standards throughout our coverage. We believe a candid meeting about our differences is required and that any misunderstandings can be handled without compromising those standards.
Wow. Fox blinked fast.
Now who initiated this meeting? We know who.
So, we also know who was lying, not that there was any doubt.
..but Donald, we need the rating to jack up our ad rates.
Little Richy blew that out
I think Fox’s life just flashed before its eyes.
Haha they are lying in the statement. Trump should ignore Fox!
Loser says, “Deal the damn cards.”
Fox has been snarky and snide to Trump...even bring him up while covering a different topic. I think its mostly circling the wagons around Kelly than anything else.
Hope Trump tells them to pound sand.
Fox needs him more than he needs Fox.
CNN highest ratings for the network.
Okay, where are the pinheads who were here yesterday saying Trump was acting like a child?
Folks, you simply don’t have the tools to grasp how negotiating is done.
Trump gets results. 24 hours and he’s got the top dog on the line.
Name one other candidate that could have pulled this off.
Fox already surrendering to Trump? Wow! I didn’t think that Ailes was that big of a poodle.
Trump should allow Ailes to come to him at Trump Towers, as he did before. After listening to whatever BS Ailes has to spout, Trump can just say, “You’re fired” and get up and leave.
“Fox News announced they had cancelled him first” either this is false or true which show fox news is being very unprofessional. Fox News don’t boycott Obama, so why Trump
Don’t do it yet, Mr. Trump....let them gravel a little while longer, maybe until their ratings are 1%????
“...and plan to have a meeting next week...”
After the Sunday shows and how many days? More time to sweat and contemplate.
First I’d demand an apology from Rich Lowlife then I’d say Megyn Kelly has to be gone within 30 days. That’s the deal.
Trump has a point - Kelly spend 1/2 hour practically each night bashing him - not directly but through her questions to guests and her look at they comment.
Fair and Balanced has suffered, big time.
