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.

I noticed the change in Fox after Zero sat with Murdoch at some event. You know who grants a license to networks and Zero is not above that type of threat.
‘It is impossible to think of a man with these behavioral impediments being President of the United States.’
So you have never noticed any “behavioral impediments” in Obama?
“It is impossible to think of a man with these behavioral impediments being President of the United States.”
‘That’s the bottom line, isn’t it?’
So you see Obama as having fewer/less serious behavioral impediments than Trump?
Perhaps you should also read what he has written so you have a full understanding of the man.
Reading “about” someone is reading the opinion of the writer.
So today before the pope’s mass. Shep states they were going to NC where the top two candidates where speaking: Trump and Carly. Campaign Carl appears giving latest poll statistics. Trump 30+ DR Ben and Cruz. Carly was way down in single digits.
Don’t know if Shep was being a smart a digging his other commentators or if he was following directions in such a way that it appeared obvious.
“I am Counting On ALL my Devotees to Boycott Fox,..commencing Immediately!” The Self Professed Republican Candidate from NYC!
Bummer, without my daily dose of The Donald, I’m sure to break down into fits.
NOT!
Giving up Fox, is a stupid idea and since he’s a progressive, and has an ego the size of Jupiter, it doesn’t surprise me. If he wants to give up all that FREE attention and media frenzy, that’s his loss though.

Fox News is part of the GOPe attack on Trump. I’m SICK of Megyn.
Crock. FoxNews is turning into CNN.
I never liked The Five from day one. I hate Bob Beckel and Juan Williams is a joke. Greg Gutfeld IS NOT FUNNY no matter how much he thinks he is.
He has a “hard” time hiding his hard time when fawning over Dana Perino...the bimbo blonde Bush toady.
What difference does that make? Obama isn't running.
Trump sends a few rounds into Fox's ratings. Hope you're not invested in Fox's political gotcha game show.
No, thanks.
One America News and Newsmax or do a video interview with Breitbart TV.
The same bunch were all over Ben Carson Monday. Every single one of them had NO grasp of what he actually said about a Muslim in the WH and wouldn’t understand the Constitution if it bit them.
You know better than that.
What Conservative in these parts hasn’t had enough with the Leftist media?
We get a guy willing to go toe to toe with them, and now it’s a “first real mistake”?
Not hardly. FoxNews has turned into the Dump on Trump network.
Who needs ‘em?
Don’t assume that there isn’t more than meets the eye here. Trump is a master strategist. I’m not saying his anger with FOX isn’t genuine or deserved, but from a purely objective viewpoint, this announcement helps him in a number of ways.
1 - This announcement helps ensure Trump will be one of the top topics of conversation in the news for the next week or so. Notice that every week or two, some new ‘controversy’ regarding Trump emerges. Trump always comes out of each ‘controversy’ smelling like a rose, and benefitting from the free media time. Sometimes the ‘controversies’ are created by himself, and sometimes he just takes advantage of the circumstances that present themselves and uses them to his advantage.
2 - Trump has been making the case for some time now, that he is a huge ratings draw for all of these media outlets. The truth of this claim is undeniable. Just look at the killer ratings for both debates, the Tonight Show, and Colbert. This has helped set the stage for today’s announcement. Now, he’s letting FOX know that their anti-Trump agenda is going to cost them money.
3- This action also serves notice to CNN and MSNBC, that the same thing can happen to them if they don’t treat him fairly. Don’t think that CNN and MSNBC don’t enjoy having Trump choose them over their competitor, FOX, so more than likely this move will encourage CNN and MSNBC to treat Trump well, or at least fairly.
4- If FOX doesn’t change their treatment of Trump, he still has plenty of outlets in which he can reach the public. If he is able to get them to change their attitude based on the loss of ratings from his boycott, then that will be an added bonus, and will demonstrate once again, that Trump knows how to use leverage effectively.
Exactly. And the only time we’ll watch any of them, is when he or another Conservative is on.
These networks have all poisoned their own well.
