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 suspect Megyn Crowley is angling for Savannah Guthrie’s job.
I’m so sick of these feminists whining about “mean” things being said about them and other women. They want to be in a man’s world at every level but when someone calls them a bad name (which sometimes is deserved) they cry like little girls and whine about not being treated nicely. If you want to be a man, then be a man.
Lol..if you have any evidence the focus group wasn’t being honest with their reactions/answers I’d like to see it.
Otherwise blow your smoke in a different direction.
He’s right about Luntz..he is a schmuck..and as far as Megyn Kelly goes..she really disappointed me last night, not just the way she did the typical Dem playbook of the “War on women” but also by the way she treated Ted Cruz asking him something along the lines of if he speaks to God..I always considered Megyn Kelly to be fair, I watch her show everyday, found her to be a fair person but not anymore, she did irreparable harm to herself, I expect that BS to come from Candy Crowley but NOT from Megyn Kelly I expected better from her
Hear, hear.
Agree with everything you posted.
Trump is too thin-skinned for a presidential campaign. He’s accustomed to “yes men”, and to people who flatter him endlessly. Being challenged isn’t something he knows how to deal with.
Also, if you want the judgment of narcissism confirmed, listen to his speeches-—”I, I, I, me, me, me.”
Another well-known narcissist does that.
Fox who?
I don’t agree. Is any news person immune?! Laura Ingraham has become more and more about “Laura”.
She talks over her guests and goes on and on using up most of their time.
When she does take a call, after regaling us with one of her kid’s antics, the caller is pressured to keep it brief and often is cut off so that, once again, she can take over and say what she wants...
Today a caller brought up the debate and the FOX hosts problematic questions/Trump “attack”. Laura said nothing about MK (how could she? She depends on her and others for her TV exposure...). Her answer was that the “tough” questions were no different from what they should anticipate in future debates.
She did not acknowledge that FOX, and hosts, had the opportunity to elevate this forum and demonstrate a superior way to highlight
candidates and their positions.
I think she is almost an MK ‘in waiting’. Too much ego...
I've been fed up with her for some time, but now I'm done. If she's on, I'll turn the channel or turn it off. Done.
You might want to consider forgiving them. There is hardly ever anybody we agree with on everything. Take Ronald Reagan. He was a great man, but his amnesty stunned many supporters. A huge mistake. Overall, Laura I. is terrific. And so is Ann. Her “America Adios” is a must read.
I am actually for Walker. But Trump was treated unfairly
Did she not benefit, career wise, of men liking to see attractive women? Men prefer beautiful women. Isn't that sexism? Yet she attacks Mr. Trump for sexist comments? She cannot have it both ways....
Didn't read the whole of my post, did you? I explained my reasoning.
Again - if the Luntz group's results were genuine, they'd be in close alignmnent with the vast majority of post-debate opinion and polls.
They aren't. Not by a long shot, i.e., something's fishy.
Yeah, I wonder what the ratings would be if Trump declared he was not going to show up for the next one.
“Luntz is a dunce because it’s painfully obvious that he manipulated his panel to produce a result desired by the Fox News honchos.”
Exactly. I knew it as soon as Luntz did the “who’s for trump then and now” questions. Too many panelists changed sides...didn’t jive with the Drudge poll in the least..or even the uproar on the internet in general. Last I looked, Drudge had Trump as a VERY strong 46% winner.
I could understand Trump losing a few people but most folks FOR Trump, know Trump is gonna be Trump. And that includes his mouth. There were no surprises from Trump last night for the people that have been paying attention.
I though watching her. I am curious to see what her post-debate ratings are for the first week.
In my opinion, Laura and Ann have both shown a disappointing lack of character at a basic level, over the last several years. Forgiving them for their deficits is all well and good, but it doesn't mean I'll ever hold them (or their opinions) in the high regard I once did.
For instance -- I was listening to Hannity talking to Coulter the other day, and she was on a tear about illegal immigration. Every word was right on point, and then she ruined her whole spiel by gushing about Romney at the end.
It was a true 'WTF?' moment for me, and confirmed what I've thought about her for quite some time.
Isn’t this the season when no ratings are done, and most networks are doing reruns? Maybe she felt she could play the harlot because ratings don’t matter now.
