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.

Trump Trumps.
Well said and an excellent idea to boot.
Can someone tweet Tau Food's terrific idea to Trump?
I think Trump should tell them to get lost. They need Trump worse than Trump needs them.....
Greta’s Facebook page got over 22,500 likes for her question about where was the outrage over the sexist treatment of Sarah Palin and her daughters by the faux indignant liberal left
“Either by gotcha questions or rarely asking them a question.”
Let’s just say by not focusing on the issues. That neglect was horrible.
Not so...strike while the iron is hot.
Who farted??
Greta is a masterful interviewer, one of the best. Kelly is an interrogator. Hannity is a BSer. So I vote Greta. I don’t think the studio has enough room to contain the ego of both BOR and Trump. LOL.
I second that Motion!
Sure was. Morning Joe said that Priebus wanted to change the debate formats so they could showcase Republicans and discuss serious issues like terrorism, the economy, trade, etc. And not gotcha questions like birth control and war on woman.
And yet FOX News starts off with, “Why did you call Rosie O’Donnell a fat pig?”
Worse, however, Kelly essentially made Scott Walker unelectable in the general with the abortion question. “Doesn’t that take you too outside the mainstream?” You don’t think that will be looped if Walker is the nominee, with a reboot of the War On Women?
So pathetic.
Fool me once, shame on you... you're not fooling me into watching your show again.
Crawl for it, Fox.
Strike what ? Spike Fox ratings again?
MURDOCH is all about ratings , not setting any record straight or being fair and balanced
Give them a Trump-Free rating cycle I say
FoxNews was in a mode of "testing" the candidates with questions designed to get them to demonstrate how they might handle the media memes they will likely face from the MSM in a general election battle. It was in that respect intended as a legitimate and possibly even constructive tack on behalf of the eventual GOP nominee, albeit unevenly executed.
IMO, Megyn Kelly is a hard feminist. She takes personal offense to the kind of treatment Trump shows to women on his shows. I'm betting she insisted on the ambush at the beginning of the debate. Hence she let personal animus get in the way of objectivity and her sense of fairness. Getting Baier to do it was a means of obscuring that agenda. It was unprofessional and pushed my estimation of Baier down several notches. He seems otherwise a fine and dedicated reporter.

We are over our Fox News habit. We turned it off on Thursday night and haven’t missed a thing. We get all the real news on the internet. There is no reason to subject oneself to the aggravation of being manipulated by the TV media, including Fox News.
WE HAVE BECOME THE PEOPLE WHO BUY INK BY THE BARREL.
THEY ARE BECOMING AFRAID OF US.
CAN YOU SMELL THEIR BLOOD CURDLING?
IT’S A BLOODY FANTASTIC FEELING!
GOVERNMENT SHOULD FEAR IT’S PEOPLE!
Priebus is an idiot then. (Not that we didn’t already know that), but what did he expect?
I would not have minded them pinning him down but I regret it was not on policy. Kelly claims her question was an important vetting feature for him but we all get it on character, we need the info on questions of policy.
“ever since he was challenged in last week’s GOP debate. “
Ever since he was railroaded in the dog-n-pony show.
