Donald Trump is the first alpha male to run for president since L.B.J., but his opponents think it's clever to claim that he's "scared" of Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly because he's said he's skipping this week's Republican debate. This is like attacking 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney for being a libertine - or President Bill Clinton for being boring.
In addition to being the only candidate who will build a wall and deport illegals, apparently Trump is the only candidate who knows how to land a punch.
Whenever you hear someone say Trump is boycotting the debate because of Kelly, remember that he didn't pull out until Fox issued a juvenile press release, saying it had heard from "a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly" and "a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers."
Wow - where did Trump ever get the idea that Fox was treating him badly?
Fox has made a habit of insulting Trump - provided he's not there to respond. After the first debate - which, incidentally, all the polls say Trump won — Fox let it be known that the moderators had been prepared to forcibly remove Trump from the debate if he failed to follow the rules. Brett Baier even revealed their cute little speech before they would escort him to the elevator: "We don't want to have to escort you to the elevator outside this boardroom. But we're locked and loaded."
Trump has gotten along well enough with bankers, unions, mafia dons and New York City bureaucrats to make himself a billionaire. Why him? Why not Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)? And why leak it after it was obviously not necessary?
It's true that Trump has focused his complaints about Fox News's coverage of him on the network's star anchor, Kelly. I assume he's using Kelly as a cat's paw for an attack against the entire Rupert Murdoch enterprise, which is implacably pro-open borders, pro-amnesty and, consequently, anti-Trump.
No one thinks Kelly was up in her office alone, furiously scribbling her questions for Trump. Before that first debate, there were stories all over about the whole Fox News team working on the debate questions.
But most people don't know who Murdoch is. Kelly is a star. By attacking her, Trump anathematizes the entire, pro-amnesty network.
One of the biggest problems facing the nation is that viewers think of Fox as the "conservative" network. If NBC or ABC were this spiteful to Trump, everyone would see it for what it is: political bias. Your enemies can never hurt you; only your "friends" can.
Fox News's bias is more insidious. The hosts avoid stridently attacking Trump. You simply never hear from any pro-Trump guests - unless they're completely ineffective. Immigration-opponents have been aggressively shut out - just as they were when Mr. Amnesty John McCain was running for president in 2008

Fox is disgusting. Ann nails it here except for her first sentence. Reagan was an alpha male.
Other than that, well done, Ann.
And then you attack [your impaired intellect] me!
You concern trolls are so transparent and hypocritical.
Coulter is about the illegal invasion. Romney came out tough on illegal immigration and Coulter supported him. She supports Trump for the same reason. I think Romney was full of hot air though. I think Trump means what he says.
I haven't noticed that either. Certainly not in comparison with CNN or (MS)NBC.
It could be why Lou Dobbs is on the business channel, rather than the news channel, but more likely he just doesn't pull in the ratings.
If somebody believed that Murdoch's ownership has absolutely no effect that would most likely be wrong, but if somebody assumed that he called the channel's tune totally, that would also most likely be untrue.
When you consider everything that Murdoch owns, it's not likely he has tight control over everything they do. How much does FNC have in common with The Times of London?

With all the fire coming at Donald Trump since his comments this weekend against Sen. John McCain – one of the leaders of New York’s Vietnam Veterans Plaza tells ABC News Trump “has not been a bad guy to us.â€
Vincent McGowan, who has been with the organization since its inception in 1983 and currently sits on its board, says that if it wasn’t for Trump, the project in lower Manhattan would have never happened.
McGowan says the property downtown was gifted to the veterans by the Koch administration but they had no money. Trump committed $1M in a matching fund and they “couldn’t have built it without him.
"The announcement from Donald Trump's campaign that the Republican frontrunner will "definitely not" partake in Thursday night's Fox News debate has sent shock waves throughout the nation's political scene."

Dude, lighten up. It was a transparent joke.
But, maybe I was right... ;-)
OK others should stop attacking posters, but if you do it it’s a joke.
Gotcha.
Light up Dude.
Still don’t get it, do you?
Heavy sigh.
Thanks for outing yourself and bumping the thread.
Oh and you spelled troll wrong on your profile page.
More at link in title, BreitbartCoulter: Fox News Is 'Indistinguishable From George Soros' On Immigration; 'Implacably Pro-Open Borders, Anti-Trump'
Conservative columnist and eleven-time New York Times best-selling author Ann Coulter is blasting Fox News.
"When it comes to immigration, Fox News is indistinguishable from George Soros," the popular columnist wrote Thursday.
The "Rupert Murdoch enterprise," Coulter writes, "is implacably pro-open borders, pro-amnesty and, consequently, anti-Trump."
As Breitbart News has previously reported Rupert Murdoch, Fox News' founder, is the co-chair of what is arguably one of the nation's most powerful immigration lobbying firms, the Partnership for a New American Economy. Via his lobbying firm, Murdoch endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)'s Gang of Eight immigration bill, as well as Rubio's 2015 immigration expansion bill, and has expressed his support for Rubio's desire to grant citizenship- and, thereby, voting privileges and welfare access- to illegal aliens.
Coulter's decision to speak out distinguishes her from the vast majority of conservative thinkers, who fear being iced-out of the so-called "conservative" corporate media.
"You won't read about Fox News's open-borders philosophy in National Review. You won't hear about it on almost any 'conservative' webpages, magazines, radio shows, Twitter feeds or blogs," Coulter writes.
Coulter says this is because "Fox News is the only game in town for conservative commentators and politicians. That's why no other candidate would dare cross Fox… Viewers beware: The only 'conservative' opinion allowed on Fox News involves dissolving the nation's borders.
