Will Fox News cave and drop Megyn so the debate can go on? (Vanity)

Posted on 01/27/2016 3:58:00 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Today will be the fish or cut bait day for Fox News. Will they drop Megyn Kelly and hand Trump a victory so the show can go on or will they host a debate that will have virtually no viewership.

Ailes must be under immense pressure from advertisers who have already purchased time slots at higher prices which reflect higher viewership estimates.

I can't see how he cannot cave.

I doubt Trump is really that big of a draw. Conservatives are interested in replacing Obama. And I thought it was Trump supporters who said they wanted money out of politics.

I think if a politician is getting benefits no one else enjoys he should not be whining about some little 5’2” blonde girl asking him a tough question. Truth is he can hurl insults and throw a tantrum but he can’t take it.

This would probably fall under that stipulation that Trump has to get equal time. Let's see what happens.

As far as Cruz and a one on one? This is what Cruz really said....

Please Mr. Trump....I can't draw people like you can.

And all those silly things I said about you last week....Only kidding...

I think you are confusing Kelly with Dana Perino re: height. Kelly is 5’6”.

Trump should walk. Fox has been trying to sack him from the start. The statement they released was unprofessional and they wouldn’t have done that to anyone else. I don’t need fox deciding who my candidates should be. These debates are a joke anyway. We need real debates. Not 3 hours of attack ads and recitation of campaign talking points. Trump should contact another network and hold a live town hall at the same time and he would probably draw more viewers than the Fox debate.

If the GOP, Fox, and all the other “conservative” pundits would have left well enough alone, he would have dropped by now. This is a monster they have created and I doupt there is any stopping it now.

I have lost what respect I had for Fox news.

“I doubt Trump is really that big of a draw.”

That’s just willfully ignoring reality. Look at the debate ratings pre-Trump vs. Trump. Why do you think people were tuning in? Jeb!?

Before this election cycle, I watched her a few times but was not impressed. Can say that I never watch a full hour. I agree with Trump on this one, she is a light weight.

Save face? He won by not showing up.

How flattering that they send you the contracts.

Doesn’t matter, same thing happens with football playoffs. Fox isn’t obligated to deliver Trump. Depending on how it’s written, there may be a tiered rate.

Doesn’t really matter. People who care, not just circus gazers, will get to hear more from Cruz.

What issues? FOX didn’t plan this contrived train wreck to talk issues.

It was going to be a hatefest.

In the past six debates, Trump has not dominated the debate. He has been a component not a debate hog. So he will not be missed to the other debaters.
I wonder if Fox would bring in women who Hillary abused and publicly destroyed during her reign of personal terror to snuff out bimbo eruptions? Let those woman ask her questions for three hours and see if she would appear.
I'm glad he walked off. Enough already from this blonde botox bimbo.

I agree. Maybe I'd better have said he would lose face by reversing a commitment he made in writing, wehre he justified his abstention from the debate on grounds that FoxNews is unprofessional and biased.

Flip right on over there to CNN, the Crying News Network.
