A New York Magazine writer and author of the 2014 book about Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, "The Loudest Voice in the Room," said in a recent televised interview the cable station's biggest star, Megyn Kelly, may not be re-engaging in public disputes with presidential hopeful Donald Trump because she doesn't want to hurt her chances to move to a more mainstream network, like CNN. Kelly, on the heels of widespread criticism of her debate night questioning of Trump – after which the billionaire businessman called her a "bimbo" in a tweet – went on what she and Fox officials...

2016 GOP frontrunner and billionaire Donald Trump already won his war with the Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly. She’s exposed as having a point of view, rather than being a purely impartial arbiter of news. Now he’s just having fun as a larger war between him and the network’s powers-that-be looms. In exposing Kelly, he’s employed at least parts of an unwritten playbook for political warfare his former, longtime aide–legendary GOP trickster Roger Stone–has laid out mostly informally over the years called “Stone’s Rules.” Stone hasn’t actually published the “Rules” anywhere, though some appear littered throughout his Twitter account and...

Author Gabriel Sherman went on with Steve Malzberg on NewsMax TV Thursday.Sherman wrote The Loudest Voice in the Room in 2014 on FOX News President Roger Ailes. Today he told Malzberg that Megyn Kelly wants to go mainstream and is keeping her options open.From the interview: Gabriel Sherman: In the days after the debate all of the emails and messages that FOX News was getting from their viewers were pro-Trump emails. Roger Ailes and his executives at FOX were shocked at the volume of the response. And, they really didn’t know what to do because their audience loves Trump. And...

2016 GOP frontrunner and billionaire Donald Trump already won his war with the Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly. She’s exposed as having a point of view, rather than being a purely impartial arbiter of news. Now he’s just having fun as a larger war between him and the network’s powers-that-be looms. But what Trump has done in a truly special manner is expose that fallacy. It’s not that Trump’s war with Kelly isn’t petty—it is, and it is probably counterproductive to be fighting with a television personality for weeks on end as he’s soaring in the polls. He could be...

Anyone who is viewing the battle between Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly as a representative battle of thin-skinned ego is entirely missing the point.

UPDATE, with Donald Trump’s response: “I do not think Megyn Kelly is a quality journalist,” Donald Trump has responded to Fox News chairman/CEO Roger Ailes statement this morning that the GOP White House frontrunner should apologize for his latest Twittertack on FNC star Megyn Kelly. “I think her questioning of me, despite all of the polls saying I won the debate, was very unfair. Hopefully in the future I will be proven wrong and she will be able to elevate her standards to a level of professionalism that a network such as Fox deserves.” Saying “I totally disagree” with what...

Last night Kelly on her show had two guests, one a weeny gop consultant, and they badmouthed Trump for several minutes. It was AFTER this that Trump made his tweets. You won't hear about the precipitating factor from the media. In other words, Megyn didn't take him on head to head or fearlessly, as she likes to consider herself, and instead hid behind two men, and had them make the offending comments as she sat there innocently nodding in agreement and leading them on. Strong women speak for themselves, and don't need to hide behind men’s trousers. Not fair and...

Judge Jeanine sits down with Donald Trump for the hour to talk the day's hottest topics and his agenda for the White House!

Marco Rubio’s star may be rising and Tony Abbott’s falling among senior News Corp executives, a Sydney speech on Thursday night by chief executive Robert Thomson suggested. The chief of the media group, whose assets include a range of influential newspapers in the US, Australia and the UK, told an audience at the Lowy Institute that the Florida senator looked an impressive candidate in the race to secure the Republican nomination to run for US president. “Personally I slightly fell in love with Marco Rubio at the last Republican National Convention because I thought he told a great personal narrative...

In case you were still scratching your head over that brutal FOX News Republican primary debate there’s this… FOX is the 9th largest Hillary donor. Investment Watchdog reported: f you were wondering why Brett Baier and Megan Kelly did all they could to kneecap Trump last night, maybe this news will help to explain it. “According to Federal Election Commission and Center for Responsive Politics data, 21st Century Fox News Corp. has donated more than $3 million to Clinton family accounts. Overall, this lands Fox as the Clinton family’s 9th largest donor over the course of the family’s political involvement.”

Guess Fox was too gung-ho in sending Megyn Kelly gunning for Donald Trump to notice The vice president of sales and marketing for the company that is now part of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email system is a Fox News TV regular. Platte River Networks Vice President of Sales & Marketing David DeCamillis has a “regular live monthly spot as a Tech Expert for Fox 31 TV on their morning show.” (Platte River Networks) “What can we say, the guy was meant for TV,” the Denver company boasted about DeCamillis after one of his regular Fox stints last...

FOX News host Megyn Kelly announced tonight at the end of her show that she will be going on a much needed vacation for the next week-and-a-half.

Rupert Murdoch handed over 21st Century Fox, the conglomerate behind Fox News, to sons James and Lachlan July 1, 2015. James is now CEO and Lachlan executive co-chairman. Last year Murdoch elevated his sons to prominent positions, James to co-COO and Lachlan to non-executive co-chairman, but the turnover of the conglomerate came sooner than expected. For 15 years, Roger Ailes has enjoyed near total autonomy as head of Fox News, but Ailes’ sovereign rule ended abruptly with the move. A 21st Century Fox spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter from now on, “Roger will report to Lachlan and James.” “For Ailes,...

At the Red State Conservatives conference held in Atlanta right after the GOP Presidential debates former Arkansas Governor, Mike Huckabee, reminded his listeners that the Supreme Court is not the Supreme Being. In a biting dissent in the Obergefell v. Hodges case on marriage, Chief Justice Roberts put the constitutional overreach this way, “who do we think we are?”  Both Huckabee and Roberts were aghast at the Supreme Court’s attempt to effectively declare the Natural Law unconstitutional. The Court tried to etch its decision to redefine the meaning of marriage in stone by saying marriage was a fundamental right rather than just...

Donald Trump finally laid out his plan for dealing with Iran (or ISIS?) on Fox & Friends Tuesday, recommending that the United States “knock the hell out of them” and then “take the oil.”

Donald Trump backed off his tough talk toward Fox News on Monday after he said network chairman Roger Ailes called him with assurances the network plans to cover him fairly. “Roger Ailes just called. He is a great guy & assures me that “Trump” will be treated fairly on @FoxNews. His word is always good!” Trump tweeted. The call from Ailes comes after a whirlwind weekend that pitted Trump against one of Fox News’ biggest stars, Megyn Kelly. On Friday, Trump said Kelly had it out for him in Thursday night’s GOP debate, with blood coming out of her eyes...

I don't need liberal Howard Kurtz, formerly of the Washington Post, telling me or you why we criticize his network's handling of the Republican debate. He's on their payroll. I am not. His comments are self-serving. I've explained in plain English my assessment on my own radio show and elsewhere. And I am not a Trump supporter as I've not declared for anyone. But I have been a Fox supporter. Nor is this about what Democrats or liberal news outlets would say or do. Argument by innuendo and distraction is a typical but flawed tactic. Kurtz doesn't know me or...

Donald Trump and the Fox News Channel are in talks about Trump possibly appearing on Fox on Monday night, according to a source with knowledge of the talks. Trump has been lambasting Fox for days, ever since he was challenged in last week's GOP debate. It is "highly unlikely" Trump would appear at 9 p.m. with host Megyn Kelly, the source said, and that's probably an understatement. Trump has repeatedly and personally insulted Kelly in recent days. But talks are underway about a Trump interview with another prime time host, like Sean Hannity, the source said, adding that nothing had...

Suffice it to say there are at least two women who support Donald Trump for president. A duo of black women — hosting a YouTube “show” called “The Viewers View” — eviscerated Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly for her questions related to Trump’s statements on Twitter concerning women.

Maybe, just maybe this picture of Jeb Bush, Rupert Murdoch & Valerie Jarrett will clear some things up for you... like why Fox News ordered a CODE RED on Donald Trump and why Fox is trashing conservatives 24/7? Also, why Jeb Bush is for Common Core, Open Borders and all the other Socialist ideas. Good old Jeb thinks America’s best days are ahead of us now that the Republican House and Senate have assured Planned Parenthood can continue to traffic in infant body parts and Obama’s amnesty and Obamacare have been funded.
