Real-estate tycoon Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will no longer do interviews on Fox News shows because the network has been treating him "unfairly."
".@FoxNews has been treating me very unfairly & I have therefore decided that I won't be doing any more Fox shows for the foreseeable future," the Republican presidential front-runner wrote on Twitter.
It wasn't immediately clear what caused Trump to announce the boycott, but he has repeatedly feuded with the network in recent days and weeks.
On Monday night and Tuesday morning, Trump released a lengthy tweetstorm attacking hosts Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly, as well as the "Trump haters" they have on their shows.
He called Kelly "the worst" and labeled her show "terrible." He said O'Reilly "was very negative to me in refusing to post the great polls that came out today including NBC."
He also said he had a hard time watching Fox News, while retweeting multiple supporters trashing Fox and calling for a boycott of the network because of its supposed bias against him.

Trump is trying to finish the job Obama started by bringing down Fox.
I’m beginning to think Trump is a leftist plant. I liked him for awhile, but now I don’t know if I trust him.
That’s cute, drag.
Thicken your skin a bit and calm yourself. Red wine works in that regard.
Lou Dobbs who was always good to Trump and gave him a fair shake, turned on him last night, out of nowhere.
Disappointing. Followed Lou through all of his great stands against illegal immigration...something that Trump happens to champion, and is SOLELY responsible for bringing to the forefront AND into the 2016 election debate...before Lou got canned for said stance, from CNN.
BOR just turned on Trump big time this week also. And Trump thought BOR was his friend. A most fair weather friend indeed.
With "friends" like BOR....well, you know the rest.
Hannity pretty much just avoids talking about Trump much at all anymore. Poor Hannity, he doesnt want to say anything bad because he likes Trump, so he has just stopped talking about The Donald.
They've definitely put the choke collar on Hannity. Caught a few minutes of his radio show, today. Had callers on praising Cruz (which is fine), just haven't heard too many of those calls, before. Hannity then said he's predicting Rubio (said Rubio first) and Cruz will begin to rise in the polls.
There's nothing at all wrong with what he said, but it's just odd timing for Hannity to suddenly be pushing The Rube, so eagerly, like I've not heard him do before.
Too bad, as I enjoyed watching Hannity get some good ratings, when he had Trump on (same for Greta), after they shafted him by putting Meh-Gyn in his time slot. Dirty pool if there ever was.
Rush should give him 1 or 2 interviews a week.
He is not asking for love. He is asking for fairness and from what I have seen; the other networks are more fair to him than FOX is.
I heard that Trump actually will appear on O’Reilly anyway.
They’ve had a few tiffs of late.
Trump is a covert spy trained by KAOS who helped him build his evil empire.
JMHO
So according to you, Trump is more psychologically screwed up than Obama, but—also according to you, but this time channeling Hillary—what difference does it make?
Here’s the issue: it is false. Obama is a sociopathic Malignant Narcissist, pathological liar, a heavy drug userincluding cocainean alcohol abuser, a raging Addictive Dysfunctional personality who gets his jollies by watching his personal hit list carried out [Im very good at killing peopleObama], and more if I had time to go into it. Trump can’t touch that.
“Hes nothing but a sophomoric little attention whore. Such a colossal embarrassment!”
You’ve got Trump beat by a country mile.
People who can’t leave a schtick tend to get schtuck up, if I may make a pun.
I wonder if anyone has done a word count to see how many times Fox has mentioned Trump in the last week. I’d be interested to see if that word count gets higher or lower next week.
Haha!
Hope you’re not invested in Fox’s political gotcha game show.
No, I’m not. I’m also not invested in Trumps political gotcha game, either.
JMHO
“Its all about Trump. /S”
Yes it is, matter of fact. All over thee country, and so shall he win the Presidency. By the way Fox, payback is a b*tch.
I enjoy watching FReepers prove that thinking in real time should not be attempted by mere amateurs.
Over and over I see folks trashing Trump for moving away from FoxNews, as if, “Where is is he going to go, and that’s the real problem with this childish maneuver.”
As usual, Trump is several moves ahead.
Pick the worst network you know of. We probably all have our favorites. Many of them are famous to us for being far far far too Left.
The novice would read that quote above and agree.
The thinking in real time person will see right away what Trump’s plan is.
What would we all like to see the Leftist networks do? What is the number one thing we want from them?
1. Isn’t it to become more centrist, move to the right even marginally?
Trump appears on a Leftist network. This is what happens.
1. Twelve minutes with Trump explaining his Conservative plan
2. Talk show hosts do follow-up and talk about Trump’s Conservative plan
3. This is repeated late at night or in the early morning hours.
4. Advertising of this show will feature picture of Trump having been on the show
5. Many folks tuning in will be introduced to Conservative ideas in a non-threatening environment
6. What has the network not been doing during all this? Talking about Leftist dogma.
Sounds just terrible doesn’t it. /s
I hope some of the Trump deniers don’t hurt themselves reading this. It’s a fairly simple concept, but it could cause some brain leakage.
Trump could easily move the bad networks Right.
Gosh they hate when that happens, if Trump does it.
Google your make and model number and HDMI to see if you have the connection.
Do you get Netflix on yout tv?Do you have a Blueray player connected to it?
No you are a Troll and you always wanted to get rid of Trump. Just say it. :-)
