Fox News throws up serious accusation against Trump campaign manager
Biz PAC Review ^ | 01/27/16 | Carmine Sabia

Posted on 01/27/2016 8:03:59 AM PST by Enlightened1

Fox News released a brutal statement Tuesday reacting to the announcement from the Donald Trump campaign that he would be bowing out of the next Republican presidential debate.

"As many of our viewers know, FOX News is hosting a sanctioned debate in Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday night, three days before the first votes of the 2016 election are cast in the Iowa Caucus. Donald Trump is refusing to debate seven of his fellow presidential candidates on stage that night, which is near unprecedented," the statement read.

The network accused the campaign of leveling terroristic threats against debate moderator and Fox News host Megyn Kelly.

"We're not sure how Iowans are going to feel about him walking away from them at the last minute, but it should be clear to the American public by now that this is rooted in one thing - Megyn Kelly, whom he has viciously attacked since August and has now spent four days demanding be removed from the debate stage. Capitulating to politicians' ultimatums about a debate moderator violates all journalistic standards, as do threats, including the one leveled by Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski toward Megyn Kelly.

"In a call on Saturday with a FOX News executive, Lewandowski stated that Megyn had a 'rough couple of days after that last debate' and he 'would hate to have her go through that again.' Lewandowski was warned not to level any more threats, but he continued to do so. We can't give in to terrorizations toward any of our employees," the statement continued.

But even with all of that, the network said it would still allow the current Republican presidential front-runner to attend the debate.

And Brett tweeted Trump was a baby??

Fox is losing big time on this deal. They know it - which is why they are flailing about trying to make something, anything stick on Trump.

Trump has them exactly where he wants them. It’s so obvious.

Now who’s using overblown rhetoric?

I ask that rhetorically of course ;-)

Yeah! How dare the Trump campaign tell Fox and Kelly they don't want to see them catch all the flack like they did the last time they made fools of themselves.

It's like Fox has shot themselves in the foot, now they're trying to blame Trump for making them pull the trigger. LOL!

"Capitulating to politicians' ultimatums about a debate moderator violates all journalistic standards, as do threats"

But that same "journalist" trying to throw her political bias into the debate isn't?? The bimbo Megyn Kelly is a showgirl, not a serious journalist.

Here is the journalist practicing "journalistic standards".

This calls for a strongly worded tweet.

Poor Fox. This cost them at least $20,000,000 in revenue, if not more.

Too bad. So sad.

Joe has enough brains to see what’s going down. He’s warned his peer group to not underestimate Trump like so many do - to their own detriment. Joe is much smarter than many - even many here on FR.

I actually like Joe.

Meanwhile Fox has contacted Trump’s wife and daughter,trying to get them to persuade Donald to change his mind.

I think Megyn Kelly showed her true colors when she invited in Michael Moore to praise her.
