President-elect Donald Trump full interview about his personal life

<p>LOS ANGELES (AP) — Megyn Kelly says Donald Trump tried unsuccessfully to give her gifts, including a free stay at one of his hotels, as part of what she called his pattern of trying to influence news coverage of his presidential campaign.</p>

While watching The O'Reilly factor he was talking about how the media helped to elect trump because of the Trump bashing that occurred and how the American public got tired and grew numb to the things they said. He went on to say that "some of that even happened on this network, as a few commentators tried to make names for themselves at the Trump's expense" That's a little foreshadowing of what will happen to her and her future on Fox.

With the presidential election less than one week away, conspiracy theorists had a field day with a two-day-and-counting blackout of Fox News Channel and CNN on DirecTV, lighting up social media with claims of a liberal bias to keep supporters of Republican candidate Donald Trump in the dark. DirecTV subscribers haven’t been able to watch FNC or its liberal counterpart CNN for about two days, as intermittent outages have blocked the channel. DirecTV customers tuning in the channels have been greeted with a screen stating the satellite service was “experiencing temporary technical difficulties. Please stand by. We apologize of the...

Can someone please explain to me why Fox News always seems to report/reference other liberal networks and papers’ polls? It’s always an ABC or CBS poll, or it’s a NYT or WAPO poll. Aren’t they a big enough outfit to conduct their OWN polls and report them? It comes across as they’re a surrogate for the other networks. Very strange (at least to me).

Right before the election, this is the third day in a row that Fox and Friends has been BLOCKED by Direct TV. Apparently it is going on all over the country, not just here in the Northeast. People are tuning in at that time before work, and Direct TV switches the channel to Fusion. They replace the screen with this message: "We are experiencing temporary technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience." I've tried calling 3 times to complain, but they are not taking calls. Post to Twitter, Facebook, anywhere you can to keep the pressure on Direct TV. Rush...

Megyn Kelly of the Fox News Channel has emerged as that network’s weak link as Fox has fallen behind CNN in the ratings for a full month for the first time since 2001. The October ratings are out and CNN beat Fox News for the first time in 15 years. “CNN enjoyed its strongest ratings month in years in October, beating rival Fox News in the key 25-54 demographic for a full month for the first time since 2001,” The Hill’s Joe Concha wrote. “CNN averaged 704,000 prime time viewers overall in October from the ages 25-54 demographic — the...

Just heard it folks, Schoen just said he can't support Trump, but pulled his support for Hillary... Yeeowzah, never thought I'd hear it..

In an opening statement on her show "Justice with Judge Jeanine," Pirro said the announcement Friday by FBI Director James Comey that the bureau will review newly found emails in connection with Clinton's private email server "disgraces and politicizes the FBI and is symptomatic of all that is wrong in Washington."

His takedown Wednesday began with criticism of media mogul Rupert Murdoch's two sons, James and Lachlan Murdoch, as "liberals" who are "ruining that network," and then called out Kelly for being "out of control." "Megyn Kelly pretends to represent women," he fumed, referring to a sexually explicit 2010 interview with Howard Stern. "She’s not some leader of some feminist movement. She's hardly in a position to be representing anybody." He also charged Kelly "set a fuse" when she confronted Trump at the first GOP primary debate Aug. 6, 2015, quoting Trump's previous attacks on women. "She was so obsessed with...

After his on-air blowup with Megyn Kelly Tuesday night, Newt Gingrich may be getting the cold shoulder from Fox News Channel. The former Speaker of the House was supposed to be a guest on Wednesday’s “Fox & Friends” morning show, but he did not appear on the program, which aired just hours after a bizarrely heated exchange between Gingrich and Kelly on live TV. The longtime GOP leader accused the anchor of being “fascinated with sex” in the ongoing scandals over Donald Trump and his treatment of women. “He was canceled,” a person familiar with the situation told TheWrap, referring...

Beauty is only skin deep. Megyn Kelly is ugly as hell on the inside.

Fox News star Megyn Kelly has changed agents and publicity teams since last year. Now the question is if she will change TV networks. Host of “The Kelly File,” one of the cable-news channel’s most popular shows, Ms. Kelly is in active talks over her contract, which expires next July. Her profile has been rising during the presidential election cycle, in part thanks to a dust-up with Republican candidate Donald Trump.

We’ve made the distinction before, but it bears repeating: There are professional, fair and conscientious news people on Fox News. No one could watch the final debate and deny that Chris Wallace is among the best in the business. Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly have earned their place among top debate moderators and interviewers. What we are about to discuss does not apply to them, but it threatens to diminish the news legitimacy of their employer and depress their own ratings as the Fox News label becomes tarnished. The degree to which Fox fake-news programming (e.g. Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly,...

IBD Trump +2

When you look at the most compelling reasons to vote for Trump: 1. Supreme Court Picks 2. Taxes 3. Economy 4. Support for Israel 5. Immigration/Secure Borders 6. Military 7. @nd Amendment 8. Etc This pompous ass is NOT going to vote for Trump. He's going to write someone in... Maybe someone like Edith Head... Well, from one doctor to another, Sir. I realize tonight that you are as dumb as the dumbest jackass. You teach me nothing. Obviously, Trump is a threat to you. Consider how great you'd be in our eyes, had you supported our guy. Instead you...

New data out today from YouGov BrandIndex suggests that Fox News is losing its luster in the eyes of Republican consumers -- who, it must be noted, pretty much despise CNN and MSNBC more than ever. It also must be noted that Fox News continues to dominate cable news ratings. Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly. Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly.

For many viewers, this came as no surprise, but for many FOX conservative loyalists, this latest news would have come as a shock. FOX News host Shepard Smith joins other high-profile gay cable news anchors like CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon. A number of high-profile media critics including top-rated talk radio host Michael Savage, have recently raised the alarm that FOX News is undergoing a liberal facelift following the departure of its news head Roger Ailes over a number sexual harassment cases.

It’s 3:00 in the afternoon, and Shepard Smith is in the chair. Fox News viewers are about to be in for an hour of broadcasting that is at once deeply familiar ― Shep has been on the network’s air since it went live 20 years ago ― and also just as strange. Shep, 52, is not what you’re used to if you go to Fox News for its brand of hard-edged, Republican rabble-rousing or affirmations that your conservative world view is infallibly correct. Today on “Shepard Smith Reporting” will be no different.
