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’m undecided on Trump, but don’t we already have a president who hates Fox News?
I have too
Fox is acting like a bunch of douches instead of reporting. I don’t blame him. They are not supposed to be a candidate nor a branch of a candidate’s campaign, however they are acting like it.
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.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HES CHOSEN MSNBC!!! theyve given him more face time...
The only times I’ve watched Fox News lately is when Trump is on.
Trump doesn’t need Fox.
Fox has become unwatchable.
I changed from F&F in the mornings to Maria Bartiromo, as F&F became more anti-Trump. It didn’t take long afterward for FBN to jump on the bandwagon.
I used to like the Five but even they are getting unbearable. Between Geraldo’s “tough guy” act, and KG fawning over FioRINO, I want to vomit.
LOL.
Bill O’Reilly almost ALWAYS comes to Donald Trump’s defense!
He’s wrong about his pal Bill.
Geeeeeez.
You’re late Donald. I’ve boycotted Fox News for years.
What a baby. Pick up your ball and go home.
Let’s face it. . .Fox is the Rove network. . .they shill for Jeb, constantly.
The problem is that the other are even worse. FOX at least has Jeanine Pirro and several others have been reasonably fair as far as I can tell.
woulda shoulda coulda.
The man thinks hes The Be All and End All
watch him CALL for a boycott!!
let em watch al jazeera NN
Can’t really disagree with him.
Bimbo’s show is basically a Trump hating sewer.
Daytime peoples don’t seem to have any kind words to say either.
It’s pretty clear that fox is GOPE headquarters.
And if there is one thing I can’t stand, it’s the GOPE.
Baby lost his binky again.
The thing I like about Trump is that he doesn’t flip-flop, apologize, re-apologize, re-clarify, ad nauseum. He sticks to his guns, doubles down and hangs tough.
