The real reason is Cruz chews him up one side and spits him out the other. This is just the only excuse he can come up with to hide from the big boys.

According to the article, Ailes is going through health issues and Murdoch is attending meetings at Fox.

This explains a lot.

FOX, which has been berated as a right-wing know-nothing channel, is showing it’s independence and showing it has more cojones than the Libs when it comes to the phony, Trump. They’re not bowing to the hubris of Trump. Meanwhile, Trump’s inner liberal is coming out. He needs his safe zone! LOL. He’s such a pansy and a spastic that he should go back to being a New York Liberal and quit pretending he’s a conservative.

No matter how loudly GOP candidates complained about Fox's loutish politics in private, none risked taking Ailes on in public for fear of losing access to this crucial constituency - until Trump, that is.

Is it true that Rupert Murdoch turned the Fox Network over to his two leftist sons back in July 2015? And the two Liberals are turning Fox around?

What happened to "We Report, You Decide?" Looks like Fox is "helping" you to decide with their biased reporting. They are joining the Democrat leaning MSM, it seems.

Cruz challenges Trump to one-on-one debate

..."This is a job interview, you need to be willing to answer the questions of the American people, and if Donald is afraid to defend his record, that speaks volumes," [Cruz] said.......

I just don’t see the grounds for chaos. Shuffle the chairs or podiums, and carry on. Rand Paul sat out a debate, just do the same thing with this one.

Trump is taking on the big ideological entities that have embedded themselves inside the body politics. The huge attention he has been able to receive gives him the ability to expose those adverse interests both outside and inside our borders. He intends on tearing down the machine, all of it.

He will work like a skilled surgeon, cutting out the infected tissue, and shining the laser light on all that has adversely affected America’s success—and survival. It means battling against the entire GOPe apparatus, on every single level of its construct. It also means battling the monolithic media empire that sustains the disease. In many ways Fox’s Roger Ailes and Republican Mitch McConnell carry the same ideological symptom, deception. He is pulling away the curtain to the deceivers who talk the talk but work behind the scenes to do the opposite. He knows the game because he has dealt with the enemies of America in order to make a successful business empire.

Trump is not just battling the progressive ideology that has undermined the essence of American exceptionalism, he is exposing the immense number of faux-conservatives in media and political punditry. Trump is exposing for us the scope of anti-American interest and the very selfish foundation they’ve used to sell out our country. We are only just beginning to understand the enormity and scope of the previously hidden betrayal.

Trump’s success gives America back to its great citizens who have had their nation stolen by deceivers, liars and thieves for decades.

FOX news is a joke and should be treated as such.

Wkorld News now is erroneously reporting that Trump dropped out because Fox would not remove Kelly from the debate. Did not say a word about the snarky press release that was the final straw for Trump.

The back story here. The other part that I WOULD LOVE TO SEE is the swarmy, wimpy, metrosexual with the ‘journalism’ degree that sent out the tweet saying that there was a conspiracy in Trump’s mind between Fox, Iran, and Saudi Arabia to rig the debate.

No doubt he and his immigrant-worshipping buddies were TOTALLY YUCKING IT UP and high-fiving each other for ‘teaching Trump a lesson’.

...and now with Trump gone, so goes $20 Million in profit for the network. One wonders how employable they’ll be at other media outlets.

Trump’s debate boycott is brilliant.

My rant since these debates started becoming a media/reality show circus has been; there is no reason to remain subject to it. Why are the republicans (establishment) DOING this (continuing to participate)??

I repeat, this is a brilliant move that shows leadership.

Obediently going on Fox because one is “supposed” to is the move of a follower, particularly when there are compelling reasons NOT to allow the media and others to shape the candidate’s image and message and the very process puts the candidate into defense mode.

Trump will not put himself in a potential one down defensive position and anticipating this and making an end run around it before hand is fabulous strategy.

This is about control - who controls - Trump or Fox, and it should NOT be Fox (or any of the media) running the show.

Trump understands this.

Applause Applause.

People complain that Republican candidates don’t stand up to the media then, when one does, they lose their minds.

(Where’s that meme photo of the Joker?)

Interesting how the press can take an unsourced speculative piece and make it sound factual.

It’s chaos when you raise the average intellectual age of the participants by at least ten years?
