Fox News chairman Roger Ailes woke up Monday morning thinking that his network and Donald Trump's campaign had reached an understanding.
After a weekend's worth of stressful phone calls, the tacit agreement --- he thought --- was that Trump would stop attacking Ailes' "biggest television star," Megyn Kelly, in interviews and tweets.

Ain't that the truth? And idea of how much of CNN's audience is made up of captive eyeballs in airport terminals?
I wouldn't be surprised if it is close to 30% or more.
Can you imagine anyone actually watching CNN if they had a choice? Even the leftys prefer MSNBC.
Trump attacked a know-it-all woman tv blowhard named Kelly.
I bet the phone calls to Ailes, wasn’t from Trump, but from this overpaid, over-hyped dyed blonde.
Trump said in a similar voice, ‘talk to the hand’, and she went ballistic.
Trump continues, as he has been doing, and poor old Kelly, had to take a vacation, to settle her nerves.
Don’t worry, you can call him up and ask him yourself after Donald reveals his cell phone number on Morning Joe. lol
If those numbers were true, she would not be on vacation.
By the time they get to January, the field will be whittled down significantly and now that all the gotcha questions have been asked, it will be time to get to the serious stuff.
Trump isn't conservative (and neither is Ailes).
Think of it as a battle of RINO titans.
A talking donkey could get high ratings in that time slut.
Slot..
Not really interested in anything FauxNews does anymore.
We should forgo the live thread, and watch the debate later.
I can take a pass on giving Faux viewership numbers a bump.
It erupted in a vicious screaming war among Whoraldo, Bolling and Gutfield over Planned Parenthood.
Rivera is certifiably demented as he churns the filth in his leftist, amoral, arrogant, vile ideology. The whole scene was so ugly that even I, immune as I am to the ragings of commie, atheist lunatics on TV, turned it OFF.
I will NOT be subject to abuse in my own home from eerie, evil creeps like Rivera.
Between Juan Williams, Whorealdo and the try-and-get-me-if-you-can Megyn, I'm done with any Fox show they are on...and I'm going to let the sponsors know why...because if you don't complain to the right persons (the advertisers) no one knows or gives a damn if you no longer watch.
The sickos on "The Five" will guarantee its eventual demise. And, it's evident that Megyn Kelly is being protected by the Murdochs (pere et fils) plus Roger Ailes.
Kinda like Hillary is being protected by powerful interests from being indicted and perp-walked into the nearest Club Fed.

Trump is playing us like big fiddles.
[[I just looked at the updated Nielsen numbers and the viewer boycott of Fox and Megyn only lasted one day]]
That’s because people have the attention span of an OCD gnat
The Nielsen numbers from last night didn’t come in until today. Even for Fox. So she took her vacation not knowing that her numbers were going to rebound on Wednesday.
I wonder if she will get brave again for the next debate knowing the ratings hit the first time was only for 1 day.
Heh...yeah Ailes really told Trump off.
It’s not true that Cable/dish just reported massive losses due to cable cutting? Of course it’s true.
You saw what Palin was able to do. With no budget. Imagine what an actual effort with a plan and cash could do.
Youtube exists. It has more viewers than all the channels combined.
Onyx, in 1997-2001 I edited a niche website that had 6 million individual readers in a month. In 2015 with Trumps or any top level candidate budget, TV is not needed to get ones message across and across WITHOUT liberal media bias.
Let the media come hat in hand to you, tell them no and real the free rewards of their bitching while you drive voters to seek you out to see what all the fuss is about.
just saw that- can NOT stand whorealdo- wish he’d just go to msnbc where he belongs
FU Ailes!
And how many of those were libs and others there to social engineer those numbers for a couple days that will evaporate in a week?
Give it a couple weeks to hash out and you’ll see the actual impact, not the heat of the moment reaction.
