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.

It’s good to be king. Fox needs Trump more than he needs them.

This will turn out to be more negotiating on his part. They either give him the sort of coverage he wants or he freezes them out.

Good. They are perfectly awful to him at the Five. Not Bolling and guilfoyle, but those two can’t even mention Trumps name without getting the jerry springer show treatment

What does that network think it’s going to do if Trump is president?

Very silly

Titty-baby Trump! What an appropriate person to put in our White house. He’s nothing but a sophomoric little attention whore. Such a colossal embarrassment!

I hate FOX NEWS! Nothing but blowhards and phonies!

I bought a Roku so I could watch One America News.

Biggest mistake is having a quote from Jeb Bush’s brother as a profile. Maybe he should be low energy fighter like Jeb. Just saying :) :)

DJT understands that Trump = ratings.

Fox will soon realize this also.

This isn’t recent. I quit watching Fox about 3 years ago. Before that I pretty much left the TV on Fox News constantly, letting it run as background music.

Yes, but for much different reasons. Obunga hates Fox because they stick their cold wet noses up his butt.

Trump is justifiably torqued with them because they’ve chosen sides and gone to sandbagging him, while flacking the GOPe puff dujour. The past few days it was Carly. Today it appears that she’s been dumped, and Rubio will be the fair haired boy.

Trump doesn’t need to put up with that folderol.

Fox News is nothing but social commentary. There is very little actual news. Most of what they have is reporting on what other actual news agencies have reported. They have some reporters but very few.

“Let’s face it. . .Fox is the Rove network. . .they shill for Jeb, constantly.”

They are in bed with the Uniparty. I quit watching them years ago.

I’ve boycotted Fox news too.

Now I only watch MSNBC and AlJazerra. They are the ones that are truly Fair and Balanced. Rachel Maddow is awesome! (plus a lot easier on the eyes that Megan Kelly).

Trump is singlehandedly destroying all opposition to full blown socialism

Excellent move. Brilliant.

Has one other pol said anything of the sort?

If we wish to see politicians enslaved by and then manipulated by the media, this is what is required. I think it’s a very savvy move. Trump is the biggest moneymaker for news shows. If Fox wants to treat him like crap, they lose.

"The thing I like about Trump is that he doesn’t flip-flop, apologize, re-apologize, re-clarify, ad nauseum…."

What??!!

He changes his mind every freaking day. "He's terrible…he's a great guy, ..pretty good but……. nyeaah.." "Look at that face. Who could vote for that?!…Oh,..you have a bea-UUUtiful face! you're lovely, ….you're horrible. You're rotten, ..you're mostly okay…..but not very good."

When Donald speaks, I don't take anything at face* value.

*Oh, ….but I meant "persona value."

I am glad you put the “Nooooo” there. For a moment there she looked to be having another physical reaction to herself.
