Trump Blasts ‘Nasty,’ ‘Unfair’ Debate Questions
Time.com ^ | 8/6/15 | Zeke Miller

Posted on 08/06/2015 10:08:52 PM PDT by proust

Trump reserved his harshest criticism for Fox News host Megyn Kelly, who pressed him on a history of critical and insulting remarks about women, complaining, “I think Megyn behaved very nasty to me.”

“I thought it was an unfair question,” he said. “They didn’t ask those questions of anybody else. So I thought it was an unfair question.”

The Weekly Reader of my youth has more pages (without advertising) than Time-Lies Magazine these days.

Ask her if she wants to see 50,000,000 defenseless babies die brutal deaths of chemical poisoning and harsh cutting/suction.

And Debbie was very pleased with Steffie Kelly's performance.

Rosie O’Donnell is a debate worthy topic?

After Obama’s 20 year history with Jeremiah Wright and political mentoring by Bill Ayers?

That is true, but the theatrics were baaaaad. Really bad. Everybody knew it was coming, but Fox caricatured the hit to an extent well beyond the wildest expectations. That was historical.

Do any of the other candidates have a history of making insulting remarks to/about women?
*************************************
I thought he only made those remarks about Rosie O’Donnell, not women.

I’m not aware of insults to women by the candidates.

The Powers that Be will give poor oppressed Megyn a more liberal network job if she loses the conservative audience from Fox. She did their bidding well tonight.

Maybe she can replace Ed Shultz or Chris Matthews on MSNBC?

His focus groups are bullshit, plain and simple.

I am going to be watching Kelly tomorrow (or maybe Monday, if she’s not on tomorrow nite, it being Friday) just to see her try to walk her performance at the debate tonite back. By then she will have seen the polls with Trump still way in the lead, and will have read or been informed of all the negative reviews she has received on Facebook, Twitter, and the Fox News website (as well as Fox News itself being slammed bigtime).

She’ll have a lot of work to do in the next weeks and months to reinstate herself in anyone’s good graces, and it may be an impossible task. It will be a case of my how the mighty have fallen. She’s cooked her own goose and no one will trust her again. She’s dead meat to most of us.

Beginning to lose trust in Frank and his focus groups.

I can't understand you people who are "beginning" to lose trust in Fox News and its jackass contributors. Should have happened 5+ years ago, when the more discerning among us swore off the network.

Also the quote about 'it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees' was said during The Apprentice which is the type of sarcastic comment which reality show audiences want to see.

To me, Megan Kelly's question did come across as petty.

Somehow, I don’t see Megyn showing any more than a perfunctory typed statement re-explaining to people why she questions her guests in such a confrontational manner. I don’t see Megyn giving her audience the immediate satisfaction of a misty eyed apology. She doesnt want to admit that she was ‘called to the principal’s office (Ailes) after hours. What I can see Megyn doing, is telling her viewers that ‘since I have been at FOX, nobody has ever told me what I should or should not ask my guests, nobody!”

I want to see what BOR has to say. He is a smart guy so his take will be interesting. Facebook is on fire over the treatment of Trump by Foxnews. Kelly in particular is getting reamed. Also of note is that the liberal press is praising Foxnews. That should tell Foxnews just how badly they jumped the shark tonight.

Of course she won’t apologize. But she will be trying to walk it back in the coming days as her ratings numbers drop and the vitriol against her intensifies. As to Ailes, he was probably behind what Kelly did tonite. Rupert Murdock is for Jeb Bush, Fox News is a corporatist entity, Rupert’s two liberal sons are taking over his empire, and Ailes and Fox are taking heed.

However, ratings do talk, and that’s where we come in. Fox has shown its true corporatist, GOPe colors tonite more than ever, and even though all of Fox need not be banned, the Kelly File and Chris Wallace’s Fox News Sunday should be. A targeted attack is in order.

On this we agree; it’s time for Chris Wallace to feel the heat of uncertainty. During an election season, no one is beyond reproach or chastisement. We don’t care who your dad was, we are judging you Chris, by your virulently liberal attitude and smug indifference of the damage he does, mainly to other conservatives.

I’m sure Rush Limbaugh will be commenting about it tomorrow. I plan to listen and see if Rush caught the “rigged” question (hand raising) to Trump.
