Donald Trump vs. Fox News: ‘I got you the highest debate ratings in your history’
CNN Money Article on wtvr.com ^ | 8/7/2015 | CNN Money

Trump’s battles with Kelly will probably further burnish the anchorwoman’s reputation as a tough-as-nails television star. The conservative cable news channel has sought to market Kelly as a strong and independent voice.

Inside Fox, the view at the end of the debate was that all three moderators — Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace — had fared well, and that Kelly was the stand-out.

Some political observers said that Fox’s post-debate coverage seemed tilted against Trump, partly because of a Frank Luntz focus group, convened by Fox and televised immediately after the debate, that had an anti-Trump tone.

Trump was incensed by the focus group.

“Where did you find that dumb panel” he asked Luntz via Twitter.

He also tweeted that Luntz is “a low class slob who came to my office looking for consulting work and I had zero interest. Now he picks anti-Trump panels!”

I hate to say it, but he is most likely right.

Buy Fox News out and sell it to a foreign country and Megan and Chris go with it...

Just selling Megan and Chris for what their worth, and selling them for what they think they are worth will make you billions and billions of dollars....

“ His toughest opponents Thursday night weren’t the candidates up on stage, but the Fox News moderators, who went right after him—none with more gusto than Kelly.”

“ Fox News and its moderators went after him from the get-go — almost as if Roger Ailes wanted to knock him out of the GOP race.”

I don’t know if Trump won the night, Trump was Trump. Either you like him or you don’t. What I do know is that Kelly and Wallace did damage to Fox. They have rendered themselves unwatchable.

To be honest, I haven’t watched Fox since Beck left, so maybe that tells you where I’m coming from. But these two were embarrassing.

“Trump’s battles with Kelly will probably further burnish the anchorwoman’s reputation as a tough-as-nails television star. “

Or more likely a fraud that thinks she’s still in high school.

I used to like her until she asked Ted Cruz why, if he liked Trump so much, didn’t he get out of the race and just support Trump. The look on her face was pure witch.

But now I absolutely hate her. She is every nasty mean girl that ever went to high school. I won’t participate in her nasty games by watching her.

I wonder what fox payed for this positive review of themselves?

I don't know what show they saw but Foxnews proved themselves no better than MSNBC. Kelly proved herself as a biased hack and has literally lost all credibility in politics.

Indeed Mr. Trump did give Fox News their highest ratings ever.

Crap through and through. She got the job on looks alone...not brains.

Agreed. I got the definite impression that Megyn Kelly thinks the rest of us are as comfortable with Jeb Bush shoved down our throats as she obviously is.

Same here, can’t watch her anymore. She was really snarky to Cruz in the debate. I hope her chickens come home to roost. It would be great if millions suddenly stopped watching her show.

She’s been the queen of snark for some time.

That only goes so far for me before I tune out.

It’s a shame because she could be a force for good. Instead she is a force unto herself.

Let her got to MSNBC or another place she’ll fit in.

I thought I heard a Trump-et sounding the horn of self-worship.

Frank Luntz impresses me as a grade school apple polisher.
