Donald Trump backed off his tough talk toward Fox News on Monday after he said network chairman Roger Ailes called him with assurances the network plans to cover him fairly.
“Roger Ailes just called. He is a great guy & assures me that “Trump” will be treated fairly on @FoxNews. His word is always good!” Trump tweeted.
The call from Ailes comes after a whirlwind weekend that pitted Trump against one of Fox News’ biggest stars, Megyn Kelly.
On Friday, Trump said Kelly had it out for him in Thursday night’s GOP debate, with blood coming out of her eyes or “wherever.” The comment was immediately panned by political and media pundits who believed that Trump was suggesting Kelly was menstruating....

Hannity is talking about Trump’s stand on issues now. Sounds good.
Between the post debate polling and MK losing 200k Twitter followers, I suspect that Mr Ailes saw the light. Lord thank you for giving us a fighter.
So is that like a thief promising to not break into your home after he’s already robbed you?
Perhaps you didn't hear about the debate last week... they try and torpedo Trump every chance they get.
Oh, criminy, DT, don’t apologize! If you do, that’s when your numbers head south. Voters are sick of jelly-spined RINOs.
Where did you see that he apologized?
For the 5 minutes I tuned into Fox today to see where the Dow Jones was at, I noted a FOX commercial. Pictures of the three pretend moderators, with words proclaiming Fox’s great ratings and how they’re not afraid.
I figured they must really be nervous if they have to advertise that they’re not.
If the Moderators make themselves the Stars, it’s not a debate.
Does anyone remember the names of the moderators of the Lincoln-Douglas Debate?
” Who will assure Cruz of fair treatment?”
Trump made sure he got treated fair by playing hardball. Cruz is a great guy but he chooses the high road. When your in scumland the high road leads no where.
My thoughts exactly.What's wrong with these campaign managers? Working with Roger Ailes yet! Megan Kelly's boss! Rupert Murdoch's tool. Murdoch not even a U.S. citizen. Pffft.
Megan=Megyn......forgot the womyn-ish spelling
My theory is that Trump and Cruz are playing “Good Cop...Bad Cop”, Trump takes the arrows for Cruz.
“Roger Ailes just called. He is a great guy & assures me that “Trump” will be treated fairly on @FoxNews. His word is always good!” Trump tweeted.
Roger is a great guy-who blinked first because he had the most to lose
“Roger Ailes just called. He is a great guy & assures me that “Trump” will be treated fairly on @FoxNews. His word is always good!” Trump tweeted.
As soon as the “moderators” announced they had some real zingers (not sure if that’s the exact term), I knew it was about them, and not about the candidates and the American people.
