Donald Trump Backs Off Fox News: Roger Ailes Just Called, ‘Assures Me’ of Fair Treatment
Yahoo! TV / The Wrap ^ | August 10, 2015 | Jordan Chariton

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....

Megyn more analogous to a thief

She lost 200K followers? That should cause her to blink a bit more.

I’m no alcoholic but I just poured myself a glass of wine and it’s only about 4pm in the afternoon here. This stuff is really starting to get to me.

Watch Fox get a huge bump in their ratings tonight. You could not pay to get this much media exposure. I hope he uses it to his advantage with some substance on the real issues America must endure under the fascist agenda of Zer0.

That’s MY beef!
They already crapped on him, and rolled him in it. So now if he is friends with them and gets their ratings back up, they won’t complain about how bad he stinks?
Where’s the upside for Trump?

And don’t pledge to not run 3rd Party, either.
It’s about the only leverage you have to prevent being backstabbed at the Convention.

I’m not tuning in to Fox until tomorrow night when Trump is on Hannity. As soon as Trump is off, the channel will be changed.

The upside is Trump gets millions of people watching him against and not the 16 other candidates

"What brand of Teflon is Trump using?"

It was Teflon that Zer0 used when he sailed into the White House. In his case, the Teflon was the Race Card. Americans wanted to get racism behind us. Now it is "Black lives matter!" and a socialist race to fascism. We need Trump to get down to specifics on how he will "Make America great again." We need more than just the promise, "I know how to do it." Of course, he does not need to give away all of his secrets because the Left knows how to use the Alinsky Method to ridicule everything one says. We do need an idea of his plan that is spelled out in complete sentences that don't end in "you know" and "whatever." If I wanted a candidate that can perfectly spell out his plans, I would pick Sen. Ted Cruz.

Trump get to use Fox to get his message to the voters and it appears he gets to use Fox on his terms.

But that does not mean we have to forgive Fox. For the first time in years I have CNN on.

Walker was mistreated big time not only with questions but with time. He had 5 minutes the whole night.

Why have’nt Trumps poll numbers dived into the abyss?

No problem after “Mexico is sending their bad people”. No problem after “McCain is a war hero because he was captured”. No problem after “Blood coming out Megyn’s eyes”.

What brand of Teflon is Trump using? Actually I think something different is going on in the country.

Those are fighting words. The American people are fed up. They want someone with fight. That is Trump's appeal.
