Fox News is facing a backlash from conservatives after critics felt the network was biased and unfair in the manner it approached the forum for the Republican presidential candidates' debate Thursday, and namely, Donald Trump.
According to Media Equalizer, tens of thousands of observers swamped social media with criticism of Fox and the moderators, with some comments attracting more than 2,000 "likes."
"This was shameful. You and Fox News did not treat the candidates fairly. You tried to make Donald J. Trump look foolish. All you did was make Fox News look foolish."
"Donald J. Trump still has my vote," said one post which appeared on the network's Facebook page and received over 2,200 "likes" just two hours after it was posted.
Another post representative of the sentiment was addressed to Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly and Fox News. It said the two "should be ashamed of themselves for their unfair demeanor towards Donald Trump. They apparently had their own agenda. Trump still did his thing though! #Trump2016"
"Megyn, you're an embarrassment to journalism. I wanted to watch a presidential debate, not a hit job by you and Fox," another observer wrote.
Twitter was also flooded with criticism of Kelly and Fox.
"Tonight's debate loser: Fox News," said one post.
"#GOPDebate NOT A DEBATE! It's @FoxNews vs @realDonaldTrump! What a disgrace! @magynkelly & @BretBaier shameful! #tcot," said another.
"WTF @FoxNews ???????? THIS DEBATE IS A SETUP TO SLAM EVERYBODY EXCEPT JEB BUSH. YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED AT THIS JOURNALISTIC DISHONESTY," yet another poster commented.
For his part, Trump lashed out at Kelly on his Twitter page.

Geaux Fox. Did the poor little baby get his feelings hurt?
Yeah , the news media is lying to destroy Trump
What is this like the 5th attempt all the media has tried to destroy Trump?
you’re making excuses for a guy that is threatening to usher in the second coming of the clinton administration unless all the right people don’t kiss his ass to his satisfaction.
any conservative that has not taken the devil’s shilling knows that this guy is a disaster in the making..
21,000 people is a poor crowd at a baseball game.
Fox, like the republican party, couldn’t care less what their viewers think. Like the republican party and like the democrat party, they’re thinking is “Where are you going to go?”
“I was more upset about how Kelly treated Ted Cruz,”
I wish Cruz had been more upset about it. Post debate he called Kelly “a terrific journalist.”
Funny that we are not being swamped by post debate polling numbers. I’m thinking Trump is likely surging and his own internal polling is telling him that. If so why apologize to Cruella Kelly?
So, you had no problem with the fact that Megyn was very chummy with Debbie Wasserman Schultz after she had attacked Trump and Cruz. Yep, your precious Megyn is a true conservative.
So,,,, Trump is evil, and we can avoid the second coming of the Clinton administration, by voting for almost anyone else on that stage? I want some of what you’re smoking.
That’s far fetched. What in it for Trump to go through this total $hit?
No. I’ll never support Bush, Rubio, Fiorina, Kasich or any Establishment candidate. I hate the GOPe just as much than I do the democrats.
Megan Kelly......going on Howard Stern to talk about her boobs and her husbands penis is up there acting SO upset that someone might not respect women.

ARE YOU FREAKIN’ KIDDING? If you have a link to a video or audio or even a written transcript, that could vindicate Trump and annihilate Megyn Kelly. If Trump could have thrown that in her face Thursday night....... holy shit!!!
“any conservative that has not taken the devil’s shilling knows that this guy is a disaster in the making..”
Cruz seems to like him well enough. You are over reacting.
Do you have recent verifiable evidence of this? Because I heard him say that he used to be pro-abortion but he has realized he was wrong. There are LOTS of people that happened with.
And that includes the ultimate establishment candidate, Trump?
“Funny that we are not being swamped by post debate polling numbers. “
That is interesting,,, isn’t it? Nice observation. It is conspicuously missing.
I posted this on another thread-
Keep it up, party of stupid. Trump will pick up his chips, create a third party, and take away 30% of your base. Hello President Clinton!
********************
Really? So, who are you supporting?
If Bush gets the nomination, I hope Trump does go Independent. There, I said it!
If the establishment keeps screwing the general public over, sooner or later someone that’s not beholden to them has to stand up and LEAD. This establishment crap has gone on too long and we need to change who is in charge of our country.
The country is fed up with DC elites and the elite media frauds. No one want Jebbie or any other of the KStreet sock puppets like Rubio or Walker or Perry or Carly or ........whoever the Prebius Billionaires want !
Who do support that is not a RNC - KStreet stooge ?
