Fox News offered its own retort outside of social media.
"We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president -- a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings," a Fox News spokesperson said in a statement Tuesday.

In support of Trump, I’ll skip the debate as well.
And it's only going to get worse.
Quite honestly this would be a bad move, even though I think the debates are completely pointless by now.
He can dish it out, but can’t take it.
Here’s a couple other theads;

I am glad to see somebody stand up the media arrogance and bias. Krauthamer stated that this is actually a brilliant move by Trump since for the next couple of days he will dominate the news, not the other candidates.
Trump was right, Fox needs him at the debate more than he needs to attend the debate.
He said he will set up a competing event on Thursday to support the veterans. You might want to wait 48 hours or so before deciding who is do the dishing out and who is doing the taking.
Not being a Trump fan myself, I still say he can make this call and it will hurt FOX but it will not hurt Trump. He’s too significant for FOX to hold out and keep this Megan Kelly in the line up just to lose the Trump appearance.
He doesn’t have to take crap off of her, and this is proof.
Trump should offer that he will attend if they donate half the proceeds to the VETS.
Maybe this time, it would spread to the rest of the public, unlike the first two times he tried it, and those networks refused.
He’s a bully and a coward. Unfit for any office.
How do you know?
State your facts, about Mr. Trump, Timmy.
Why watch the debate if Trump isn’t there. I just hope he is on LIVE TV somewhere.
EVERY debate season preceding every presidential election. Why doesn't the GOP chairman stop this, why AGREE to it, why not DEMAND to be treated fairly? Why do we need "moderators" asking questions anyway?
NOW we finally have a candidate with the cajones, the only one in this bunch, only one in living memory, to refuse to participate unless the debate host network removes the HIGHLY PARTISAN, unqualified, proven Trump hater, transparently seeking to curry favor with her left wing friends and colleagues.
And NOW the Cruzers on FR who weren't even around for all these previous debates in history, knew or cared nothing about politics or were simply Democrats---NOW these people, to support their Establishment candidate, call Trump a COWARD, he's too afraid to face Megyn Kelly. Even Ted Goldman Sachs Cruz is saying it. That's pitiful, because THIS is EXACTLY what conservatives and republicans have wanted for years and years: to NOT let the host network get away with using moderators who are leftists intent upon embarrassing and trying to ruin our candidates, in this case Trump.
So Trump is THE one to set the precedent, to DO what everyone before just TALKED about, and the idiots who should be over on Commitment2Establishment so childishly say, Trump is afraid of Megyn Kelly! LOL!!!!!!!!!!
PS---Trump kicked ass in SIX DEBATES and no one laid a glove on him, and now the losers want another shot at the heavy weight champion. But they aren't in his class. So no rematch.
Ridiculous rant. It doesn’t matter whether Trump stands up to them. As President, he would govern as a clueless liberal. That is what matters.
