Trump and Fox said to be in talks over Monday interview
CNN ^

Posted on 08/10/2015 6:59:32 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

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 been confirmed as of Monday morning.

In the meantime, Fox has dramatically ratcheted down its coverage of Trump. It hasn't covered Trump's criticisms of Kelly and the two other debate moderators, Chris Wallace and Bret Baier.

Trump's most recent tweet about Fox came on Sunday afternoon: "It amazes me that other networks seem to treat me so much better than Fox News. I brought them the biggest ratings in history, and I get zip!"

This is a true clash of titans. Fox News is the favored network of Republicans, and Trump is the Republican campaign front-runner.

You can be sure that Trump has used the very best private investigators in his some of his deals.

I have never done that because my deals were purely financial. However, big real estate projects require gathering leverageable intel on politicians. And NYC is dirty politics central.

I think Trump is proving to Murdoch and Ailes that he is a player not to be messed with. He is earning their respect...and their fear.

In the same process, little twerps like Reince Priebus will see the big boys making nice and he/they will cave.

Exactly. Trump is simply directing the same kind of oppo that is traditionally performed against political opponents.

However, in the present case, his opposition is comprised of both the media & politicians, so he has to research & prepare for battle against both parties.

I've said this on other threads, but this is really becoming a turkey shoot. There are so many fat targets it must be hard determining the order of which ones to attack.

D1 has a short list that illustrates the adversaries that will provide DT with a steady flow of targets to maintain a constant 3-4 day news cycle for the next 16 months.

In other words, Megyn did a “Candy Crowley” by stating fact supporting one side of her question, like aggressive cross examination of hostile witness. NOT her role.

Barak Obama and Hillary clinton are worried that if Trump wins that Trump will prosecute both of these socialists for their multiple crime IRS scandal, Benghazi etc.

So they and the mainstream media will do everything they can to knock Trump out of the race or make him quit.

But these people have all the power and are extremely dangerous.

I hope all of you can get warning to Trump that these people are dangerous and evil so that he gets a lot of se

Yes, but in your (our) dreams.

They purposely tried to rake Trump over the coals to get him out of the running.

They are much too full of themselves to admit what they did, even though it is so obvious to millions of their viewers.

Like most liberal attacks on a prominent public figure, it bit them on the butt.

I hear Sharpton and that guy Rachel Maddox (Keith Olbermann in drag) are being cut from MSNBC, maybe FOX could entice them to do a show on their network.

Fox knows that if CNN gets him opposite Kelly her ratings will drop. They don’t want him on the other networks. I’d bet their weekend numbers were dismal while MEET THE PRESS and the rest were through the roof. Fox, in an idiotic move. tried to slaughter their own cash cow.

A journalist asking topics related to issues

A top conservative (conservative, not those masquerading as such on FOX NEWS) or two would be better than some one that graduated from journalism school with a degree in leftist spin.

Levin and Coulter?

I would stipulate that Megyn Kelly be fired or suspended first. If not then screw you.

Then he REALLY would be accused of being part of the war on women.

The #1 threat to our freedom is the media/DC cartel.


Exactamundo. This is why the primaries are so important. Even more so than the election, IMO. If we get two progressives nominees in 2016, it’s over.

Look how thuggish the GOPe has behaved after we gave them Senate.
I have no doubt that a corportist GOP POTUS like Walker or Rubio would cram down amnesty and tell us to like it.

The primary is where it’s at. The duopoly beltway cartel has created a dead end in American history. It’s all or nothing now for conservatives.

Good post

Barak Obama and Hillary clinton are REALLY worried that if Trump wins the presidency that Trump will prosecute both of these socialists for their multiple crimes IRS scandal,Barack’s unconstitutional abuses of power Benghazi etc.

They know only Trump has the courage to do this and he might win . so they are scared

So they and the mainstream media will do everything they can to knock Trump out of the race or make him quit.

Actually a true debate. Topic chosen. Timer started and stopped by a true moderator. Each given a set time to express idea. All right for participant to give time to others etc

For example the best two on PP are Dr Ben and Rick S. What is wrong with the others stating they are correct and they support their stand. Work as a team. Show the strength of party with the only exception being between the liberal Gopee vs the conservative business problem solving difference.

Ok to call BS when candidate starts spewing prepared talking points

CNN has probably been in round the clock meetings on just how far to the right to go to get Fox’s viewers.
