Dick Morris: Trump is Right for Not Going Back to Fox
NewsMax ^ | 9-23-15 | Bill Hoffmann

Donald Trump is making the right decision to no longer appear on the Fox News Channel because the cable network is pulling for his nemesis Jeb Bush, political analyst Dick Morris says.

"Let me say one thing that hasn't been said before on TV but I'm going to say it. Fox News is in the tank for Bush," Morris said Wednesday to Dennis Michael Lynch, guest host of "The Steve Malzberg Show." "Roger Ailes, the head of Fox News, was [President George H.W.] Bush's main guy and main strategist. I first met Roger in 1988 when he and I worked together on Bush 41's campaign and worked on the negative ads that sank [Michael] Dukakis."

"The Bush family has always been intimate with Fox News and they are protecting Jeb Bush."

On Wednesday, Trump took to his Twitter account to announce that he's decided to boycott the network, because Fox has been "very negative to me in refusing to post the great polls that came out."

Sure, there's always one person in a discussion to represent the other side, but to say FNC had predominantly Leftist views is going way too far. Even if you didn't like O'Reilly or Greta, there was always Hannity.

I'm not sure that any of these guys even have opinions. They are performers who say what they're supposed to say. Trump could easily conclude that the Fox operation is designed to promote Bush and to trash Trump.

I had not heard that. Cruz is always so respectful. He does not deserve that kind of treatment.

They’ve given up on Yeb! and are now promoting Carly and Mario nonstop.

I don’t like Morris, but he’s got this one right.

Used love The Kelly Files. I quit watching her show a while back when she fixated on The Duggars.

Bored the crap out of me and I did not care about “The Duggars”.

She seems to be a whackjob. What happened to this woman?

Not that I have seen, not recently. I don’t hear Rove on his radio show either.

Rove seems to pop up on O’Really and during the daytime mostly.

Hannity does unfortunately invite Tamara Holder on his show far too often, she a complete frickin’ moron, but I guess she has an okay rack.

Remember a couple years ago when Fox was pushing Christie big time. It’s very clear when they’ve decided to push a candidate. You will hear about them all the time with positive or neutral stories.

I agree they may have given up on Bush now because his polling has utterly collapsed. But this is why the knives have come out for Trump even stronger in the last two weeks. He’s truly changed the nature of the race by obliterating Bush’s poll numbers. He’s totally upended the GOPe’s plan in a way they now think is not salvageable and they aren’t out just to stop him anymore, they are out for no-holds-barred revenge.

Nothing happened except heightened awareness.

In smaller doses on a happy talk morning show, she’s acceptable as an anchorette.

She’s habitually rude to everyone, leading some to believe she was fair and insightful when she was just rude. With a big contract as a star, she simply gave her inner liberal free rein, and more people have paid close attention.

She is a female O’Reilly.

Ummm, since when is Dick Morris ever right about anything?

He’s a running joke here.

A few weeks ago I remember reading a statement from Roger Ailes that he (Mr. Ailes) vowed he would "make sure" Trump would never become president.

This was such a nasty statement I wanted to make sure I got his statement correct so I just Googled it, and I cannot find it anywhere. There are plenty of stories about how Ailes asked Trump to apologize to Megyn Kelly, but I can't find that one statement he made about Trump not becoming President.

Does anyone else remember reading this?

I seem to recall something like that. I am not sure if it came from Politico or not.

TO THOSE WHO WISH TO BOYCOTT FOX:

GO TO ONE AMERICA NEWS NETWORK
If your TV service does not carry, call and email daily and if enough folks do it your service will start carrying it. Verizon does.....so tell them you will switch if they don't! One America News is great! No commercials but instead they do little educational clips of American Historical Facts and tributes to our Military. Awesome!

On line go here:

Did Greta step in it? She had a good rapport with Trump.

They are so unwise. It comes from the top I guess
