TRUMP: I'm Boycotting Fox News

Real-estate tycoon Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will no longer do interviews on Fox News shows because the network has been treating him "unfairly."

".@FoxNews has been treating me very unfairly & I have therefore decided that I won't be doing any more Fox shows for the foreseeable future," the Republican presidential front-runner wrote on Twitter.

It wasn't immediately clear what caused Trump to announce the boycott, but he has repeatedly feuded with the network in recent days and weeks.

On Monday night and Tuesday morning, Trump released a lengthy tweetstorm attacking hosts Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly, as well as the "Trump haters" they have on their shows.

He called Kelly "the worst" and labeled her show "terrible." He said O'Reilly "was very negative to me in refusing to post the great polls that came out today including NBC."

He also said he had a hard time watching Fox News, while retweeting multiple supporters trashing Fox and calling for a boycott of the network because of its supposed bias against him.

Maybe this will help stop the leftward and GOPe drift.

LOL, Trump is such a crybaby.

Fox News has dominated cable ratings long before Trump came along, and they will still be doing just as well if not better without Trump. And of course when he implodes his campaign over silly childish stuff like this Fox News will have the last laugh.

I really hope Trump does stay away from Fox News. I am tired of Greta and Hannity slobbering all over “the Donald” every week night. It would be refreshing if they all just ignore him for awhile and focus in on some of the other candidates - along with spending more time pointing out what a crook Hillary is.

I am wondering... if he wants ‘fair’ treatment, where’s he going to go? MSNBC?

A small man like Trump is going to need to find a place where he can bully women without consequences. That is not Fox, but maybe it is MSNBC.

Bill was awful to Trump last night, but they carefully couch it in politicalese.

Exactly but the trumpeteers will be here in force blaming everyone but boo hoo Trump. When Trump is president he will fix this along with everything else. Just don’t ask him how.

don’t we already have a president who hates Fox News?

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

What are you, in some kind of debt to the MSM? You have some kind of secret allegiance or alliance with them?

“First real mistake, one he will regret. Are we beginning to see a pattern here? Trump should be a bigger man/person...this makes me sad.”

He has been on Fox repeatedly, they continuously smear him.

Remember the debates? Watch Megyn Kelly lately, Fox News Sunday, The Five?

Why should he continue to appear on the network and give them fodder, and how is it a mistake? All the Republican candidates should boycott all the alphabet networks.

The only reason Donald can run is that over the past 5 years Greta has given him more time than any other person, or probably more than any other 5 people.

Yes, Van Susteren the Scientologist is obsessed with Trump and has him on nearly every night. Hannity isn't much better.

The idea that "the Donald" would boycott a network that devotes 2 hours in prime time, nearly every night to Trump hero worship is truly bizarre. With his continued rage tweeting at Kelly and O'Reilly, I am hoping even Greta and Sean will realize what a child Trump is and stop boosting his candidacy.

I wish people would quit ‘announcing’ things on idiotic social websites. I’ve never even seen a twitter. Some people don’t have a little screen attached to their face all day long.

It's smart to bypass the media and talk directly to supporters. The information will eventually trickle down to old people.

One must remember that Fox News is 25% +or- owned by a Saudi prince which I would think is enough to shade it’s output. Trumps disdain for Saudi influence cannot be tolerated and must be shut off.
