Feeble attempt at damage control. Fox has suffered major damage to its brand and has lost significant credibility. The debate was a debacle.

What a waste of an article - there are no details there. We had a blunt but cordial discussion - ok, what did Trump say? What did you say? How was it blunt, how was it cordial? Did Trump mention Kelly? What did he say about her? What was the ultimate consensus of the discussion? Do journalists (on the Blaze no less) even do their jobs anymore?

Translation: I called Donald, told him Kelly is a hot property and to lay off. I promised to reign her in, if Trump will stop making her look biased.

Famous last words before the firing: "We have complete confidence in Xxxxxx, he/she is an excellent and we look forward to our continued association as we work together to achieve out goals."

“We discussed our concerns, and I again expressed my confidence in Megyn Kelly. She is a brilliant journalist and I support her 100 percent,” he added.

One of several aspects of the story never mentioned in the media is how Megyn behaved like a giddy schoolgirl for at least a couple of weeks before the debate, bragging and gloating about all the debate plans they were making and questions they were coming up with.

She's no brilliant journalist, just another opportunistic and ambitious pseudo-journalist looking for a chance to make a big event about her.

Much of the debate was just as Mark Levin described it: a National Enquirer event with National Inquirer questions..

I went to the link, but somehow I missed the ‘details’ of the conversation.

Ailes can pretend Kelly’s a real journalist, and this wasn’t a premeditated hit job, but the viewers know different.

So Megyn - FOX you.

Not even billionaire Donald Trump finds it wise to pick a fight with a man who buys his gigabytes by the barrel.

Just emailed Bret Baier at Special Report and Megyn Kelly at the Kelly File to give them both a piece of my mind.

And FoxSnooze had been off at my home since Thursday night.

Glad for FreeRepublic.

Please don’t forget to drop some coin for the FreepaThon so FR can stay online.

Let me tell you how this worked, in my opinion. Ailes directed Chris Stirwalt ( the coach) , Beir and MyGYN kelly to “get Trump’. It backfired real bad as the polls came out Monday morning. It was a clear hatchet job for the GOP-E. Ailes approved every word. Muddock saw it and was shocked. He was not previously alerted . He talks to Trump as recently as a week before. Murdock exploded on the phone with Ailes and tells Ailes to “work it out NOW”! Ailes CALLS TRUMP!! Trump didn’t call Ailes. Ailes didn’t call Trump to support MyGYN! Are you kidding me? Ailes called to assure Donald from now on he would be treated fairly and appologized for the “bush whack”, In my opinion. This propaganda release is to save face. Trump will just move on. He is gaining every day anyway.

Too little, too late.

FReepers knew FOX “News” was full of feces and bias;
and now the world knows, too.

Ailes and Chris Wallace and Kelly Megyn, or whatever
her name is, can watch their ratings, supporters,
and accounts crumble.

Not much detail. Glenn Beck is scamming again.

The first and only question is if Ailes thinks his people did such a great job during their version of the View, why would he call Trump?

They got caught playing yellow journalism and it’s been nothing but damage control since then.

Both Brett Baier and Megyn Kelly talked about the feedback and fallout last night.

They know what and why they acted the way they did. Both Baier and Kelly bragged about their plan before hand.

They intentionally bushwacked Trump hoping he would lose control so they could warn and possibly escort him off the stage. THAT WAS
THIER PLAN.

Their soon since then has been pathetic

Two figures I would really like to see. Fox’s post debate ratings and Carly’s poll numbers after her “I stand with Megyn” tweet/position.

“We discussed our concerns, and I again expressed my confidence in Megyn Kelly. She is a brilliant journalist and I support her 100 percent,”

The next sound he would have heard from me is *click*.
