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.

I was just discussing this earlier with my Mother. I don’t blame Trump at all. It’s become a dump Trump with several of these pundits! Brit,Krauthammer,etc. Good for Trump.
Nope. We the People are tired of “being the bigger man”. Look around, yoe, and see what that canard of yours has netted us.
Boehner & McConnell look alikes and our country is gone.
The FOX News Channel is organizing with the GOP, K Street, CoC, Wall Street and the lefty media to take out the only boots on the ground who is independent of every damn one of them. They want him OUT. Are you going to play Duchesse of Queensbury Rules and let them do it?
If Trump can go down, who is independent of donor-owners, trust me... your guy won’t stand either. This is solely about electing Jeb Bush, not taking it easy on your guy.
No Sale, here.
The whole thing is strange.
Trump went on a Twitter attack against Bill O’Reilly, who has been positive on Trump, because O’Reilly had anti-Trump guests on. Then Trump turned his attack to Megyn Kelly, who had no part in the O’Reilly guest issue.
As a result, Fox cancelled Trump’s appearance on O’Reilly. Then Trump “boycotted” Fox News.
I have seen this behavior before from someone who would get on company email at about 9pm after getting drunk and would insert themselves rudely into email exchanges.
To me, it honestly looks like Trump is an alcoholic who is drunk tweeting. I could be wrong, but it sure looks that way.
For him, of course it is. If they bashed me nonstop, I wouldn’t go on there either.
Politicians have been PC cowards so long that you don’t even recognize someone standing up for themselves as common sense.
When our enemies bash the US, we want a president that will stand up for us and quit giving those countries aid money.
Thanks
He has chosen Joe and Mika, on msnbc, where they enjoy him, take his calls, absolutely despise and mock Hillary Clinton daily and give him a superior hearing than FOX. By miles.
What’s the problem. You think all Democrat families, black Americans and black business want open borders? Think again. Trump has a message. They like it.
So do I. Rockin’ msnbc suits me just fine. I record Morning Joe every single day— all three hours.
They are political animals and junkies over there, at MJ, as opposed to the cookie dough mornings with Fox and Friends, catering to the coed mind who are up brushing their teeth with Dora the Exployer humming in the back ground.
LOL...that FN *Alert* is like the boy who cried wolf. People don’t even pay attention to it, anymore.
Since I’ve stopped watching Fox (except for when Trump was on), I’ve not missed that gong sound, at all ;-)
Oh, for crying out loud. Is this assclown going to winge about everything during the campaign and term, if elected. At some point, you Donald supporters are just going to need to realize and admit - he’s a 14 year old hormonal girl, emotionally.

Bloody Megyn is on right now and she and her Trump haters are talking about the new Fox poll and of cause the discussion is not that Trump didn’t go down but actually went up. The story is how Carson and especially Fiorina went up and are nipping at his heels. Bloody even said that Fiorina took supporters from Trump! Apparently she can’t count. Trump went up not down. He gained. If Rubio, Carson and Fiorina took from anyone it was Jeb Bush and the RINOs under him. I have never saw in my life so much hate and total disrespect for anyone like Fox shows Donald Trump. The acknowledged front-runner poll after poll and he’s talked about like he’s doing so bad he might as well get out. They also got a kick out of most of the people saying Trump had lost the debate. If I were him I would NEVER again go on any Fox News program.
For the record Larry Sabato, who I don’t usually pay any attention, said internet polls are more reliable than a poll that comes out once a month. He said if the majority of internet polls show basically the same thing and no wild swings one way or the other, most experts are now saying believe them and all polls will conducted on the internet in the future.
“It’s bizarre that Trump thinks it helps him to claim that he is the one who cancelled on them.”
It’s typical Trump. He will get the last word in if it takes the rest of his life - it is that important to him. I don’t want a President who is so petty when our country has many serious problems. I want a level headed, constitutional specialist, just like Ted Cruz, to run this country. There are Freepers who shout, “You hate Trump!” to anyone who has a problem supporting Trump. These Freepers are as childish as Trump is.
I find it difficult to write on political threads now on FR, so I take a hiatus from the “hate” talk attacks when they are excessively bad and let FR politics continue without me, except for a prepper thread and giving reports on Freeper Johnny’s cancer progress on the gardening thread.
Some people here are just so damn delusional.
Trump may hurt Fox a night or two in the ratings, but Fox will still easily win the cable wars this wk, this month, this year, next year, etc.
Hell, the last few yrs, Fox news has even started beating ESPN, USA, AMC, etc in primetime. Trump ain’t gonna change that, so he should just grow the hell up!
If he still wants my vote in the primary, he needs to GROW THE HELL UP. Otherwise, it’s Rubio for me.
Yes, Rubio wants a path to citizenship, but he will also cut off the flood. That I have no doubt about.

I run Fire Stick sideloaded with Kodi. Kodi will cover any of your TV needs.
Fox is sad now. Sad excuse for a news organization that bills itself as fair and balanced...and sad.
Trump has never drank, smoked, or took drugs. This is a well known fact.
Historically havent boycotts normally been group efforts undertaken to in order to achieve some sort of goal?
Why would an individual consider using the term BOYCOTT to indicate than he as an individual is ignoring any given entity?
One might find it twisted but Hilarious if Barack Millhouse Obama announced...that he was going to BOYCOTT a television network to protest his ILL TREATMENT at “thier hands”. I know I would.
What makes the actions of the Self Presumptive “Republican” Presidential Candidate from NYC any different??
I find this wildly amusing even if a bit depressing
I agree totally....This cannot be a smart move for Trump
