In a rapidly intensifying back-and-forth between Fox News Channel and the campaign of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, the network Tuesday night accused Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski of threatening FNC host and debate moderator Megyn Kelly.
In a statement, a Fox News spokesperson said "in a call on Saturday with a Fox News executive, Lewandowski stated that Megyn had a 'rough couple of days after that last debate' and he 'would hate to have her go through that again.' Lewandowski was warned not to level any more threats, but he continued to do so. We can't give in to terrorizations toward any of our employees."

You need to do a reality check if you have now convinced yourself that CNN is, shall we say, fair and balanced.
You do realize that the one candidate who continues to poll worst head to head against Hillary is Trump, don’t you? And that’s with CNN et al treating him “fairly.”
That would end the day he gets the nomination, which is why when this is all sorted out, he won’t be the nominee. The GOP isn’t ready to commit hari-kari quite yet.
Guess there’s some truth to that old saw: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Hope you enjoy CNN. By the way, MSNBC has been treating Trump pretty decently lately too. Gee, I wonder why that is? Maybe they’ve come around finally? Like I said initially: Reality check time.
Not sure that is much of a "threat". Fox did not have to pull this. They could just claim they won and Donald lost and gloat.
Instead of making more money for Fox News, Trump will spend the time on Thursday raising money for wounded warriors.
THIS is one MORE reason to LOVE a Trump presidency! THIS is what ROMNEY needed to do and failed. THIS is bringing a gun to a knife fight. THIS is hardball. THIS is EPIC. Trump will make a terrific POTUS. SCREW the MSM, the true enemy of America.
Nope, but a little wine works wonders...
Using Trump's own words which he employed to "demean" women is hardly demeaning to Trump and since Trump confessed to the truth that he actually used the words, it is incredible that you could argue that there is "no substance at all."
The Democrats were running whole campaigns on the allegation the Republicans demeaned women how much substance do you need to get to a level of "substance?"
And they say Trump’s too sensitive? This is child’s play next to what they did to Trump.
I watched the Don Lemmon show tonight.
I believe you.
They were actually fair and balanced.
It's damn weird I tell ya.
“You do realize that the one candidate who continues to poll worst head to head against Hillary is Trump, donât you?”
You realize that polls such as that are meant to create opinion, don’t you? And at this stage of the game, relying on those polls is a fools errand?
A full 10 days while Fox fielded the calls, letters and emails from outraged viewers.
Awww...Mean Megyn asked him a tough question and made him lookn bad...somebody needs a diaper change!
Waste of words, I’m afraid.
You neglected to add Trump’s answer to feminist megyn kelly’s biased question.
In his answer, Trump denounced political correctness. The feminist’s question and demeanor was soaked with political correctness.
Yes, tell the most conservative network in the country to shove it. That would have gotten Romney plenty of votes, I imagine.
We’ll see how much it helps Trump in Iowa.
That's the image Brit Hume tweeted tonight with a similar commentary.
Does anyone believe these people would be fair and balanced?
You’re eyes do some strange things when you’re thinking, you know that?
Ah, so now treating a woman with respect is PC? Damn, this PC rule book keeps getting thicker and thicker.
Good for Brit. Maybe Donald has finally browbeat the wrong people and is going to be taking some incoming himself?
If so, popcorn futures should be up big in the morning.
