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.

Boycott away Donald. See if Roger Ailes cares.
Looks like the Faux is in bed with Mr Potato Head!
I’m sure Trump does not have a problem with a few, namely, Pirro, Bolling, hannity. I don’t know. But it is ridiculous over there
Oreilly saying Trump wants people to like him?
mischaracterizing people is juvenile. And transparent.
Some will buy that argument, but it works both ways Trump says Kelly is a bimbo. Well, she dresses like one on the air so people will look at that and say hmmm. Thee are still allowed to think for ourselves and some people are listening to Trump and considering what he says with no reason to feel loyalty to any news source
i don’t recognize the info babe, but isn’t her neckline just adorable?
When did he change his mind about making America great again?
“Trump doesn’t need Fox.”
And Fox doesn’t need Trump. I guess they are even.
Whatever are you talking about?
Trump’s far more conservative than the GOPe trying to swamp us with immigrant labor and voters.
Could be a brilliant move to distance himself from Fox News. The DUmmies will have a harder time saying Trump is a product of Murdoch/Fox, ad nauseum. If Fox were seen as ‘selling’ Trump it would turn a lot of people off.
“Fox is acting like a bunch of douches instead of reporting. I don’t blame him.”
Trump is acting like the pouting Baby-In-Chief Obama. We already have one of those we don’t need another.
Fox won’t join the Trump adoration movement. Trump cannot handle anything with a hint of critical analysis of his positions or hard questions about the merits of his candidacy, which is something all candidates get. Every hard question is considered a hit piece, to be “countered” by some belittling tweet. His attitude will not play well in the election coverage should he get the nomination.
I am stunned how much he is like BHO in this regard.
I stopped watching Fox when they put Sarah Palin on. My ear drums bleed at the sound of her voice.
I’ll vote of Donald Trump if he’s the nominee, but he gets too easily sidetracked by minor side issues.
Why should a guy headed to the presidency buy a news network?

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.”
That’s the answer
“wrote on twitter”
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.
The press made sure that Obama was elected and not Romney. On his watch, Trump is fearlessly fighting the bias and unfair attacks at every turn....and he is winning. I don't blame him for boycotting Fox. It will be their loss. If he is on elsewhere they will lose viewers, no question about it.
Is she being attacked by a pair of killer bees?
I am wondering... if he wants ‘fair’ treatment, where’s he going to go? MSNBC?
