Roger Ailes Nukes Trump: Attack on Megyn Kelly Is ‘Unacceptable’ and ‘Disturbing’
Daily Beast ^ | 8/25/15 | Lloyd Grove

Posted on 08/25/2015 10:14:13 AM PDT by jimbo123

Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes released a statement on Tuesday about Donald Trump's renewed war on host Megyn Kelly.

“Donald Trump's surprise and unprovoked attack on Megyn Kelly during her show last night is as unacceptable as it is disturbing. Megyn Kelly represents the very best of American journalism and all of us at FOX News Channel reject the crude and irresponsible attempts to suggest otherwise.”

-snip-

On Tuesday morning Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade fired back, saying Trump is "out of control." At least 10 separate Fox News personalities publically rebuked Trump before noon on Tuesday, evidence that no one is being told to be nice to Trump from the powers that be.

Trump doesn’t need Fox. They need him.

Yeah.

And attacking Hillary will be unacceptable.
Just like attacking Obola was unacceptable. And still is.

Kelly deserved to be called out, but this latest barrage of tweets from Trump is over the top. He goes out of his way to malign people. Twitter is not his friend.

I’m sure The Donald is quaking in his boots. Still, no call to be rude. He’s lowering himself.

FOX “News” sent their hired PR reps, including
“Killer Bs”, out to steal an Election
and the 1st Debate from the American people.

Kelly Megyn, or whatever her name is, was nothing
but a flack-skank, stealer of time for herself,
and clearly NOT a balanced interviewer.

Go study your ratings charts, Roger. Turn ‘em upside down so you’ll feel better.

No Roger, her attack on him was "unacceptable" and "disturbing". She has yet to apologize and he is perfectly within his right to not like her.

What exactly does “nuke” mean? Has Trump’s candidacy been destroyed? If not, the headline needs to come up with a better word, like “fires back.”

I disagree. Megyn still had blood coming out her eyes when she was discussing Trump and immigration on her show last night.

I think Trump re-tweeted a post from someone who called her a “bimbo.”

Another thread claimed Kelly made comments about Trump first which, if true, would negate Ailes’ assertion that Trump’s comments were “unprovoked.”

This would upset me. If I still watched “The Jeb News Channel.”

For those of you that still do, please let us know how “The Five’s” Dana PeRino and BOR handle it tonight.

Nope, IF you read past the headlines, that’s not how it happened.

Ailes knows most don’t.
