Fox News accuses Trump campaign of threatening Megyn Kelly
The Hill ^ | 1/26/16 | Neetzan Zimmerman

Posted on 01/27/2016 4:39:41 AM PST by jimbo123

Fox News is firing back at Donald Trump for the Republican presidential front-runner's decision to skip Thursday night's debate, accusing Trump's campaign manager of threatening anchor Megyn Kelly.

"In a call on Saturday with a Fox News executive, [Corey 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,' " the Fox News statement said.

"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."

Google and Fox TV Invite Anti-Trump Muslim Advocate to Join Next GOP TV-Debate

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3389018/posts

Fox News and Google have invited three YouTube personalities to ask questions at the Jan. 28 GOP debate - including a Muslim advocate who describes Donald Trump as a bigot and who visually portrayed him as being in agreement with national socialist Adolf Hitler.

“We have a presidential candidate whose loudest message reeks of hatred and Islamophobia... turning on the news now is scary, and oftentimes, humiliating,” the Muslim woman, Nabela Noor, says in a December YouTube video.

They better have some proof, because I understand that Lewandowski is a hell of a lawyer.

They call that a threat?

Trying to spin that statement into terroristic threats from the Trump team is more proof Trump made the right decision in dumping Fox.

Media fighting to stay relevant and control the political agenda, as Trump marginalizes them.

I used to like Kelley but no longer. I have ZERO intention of watching her TV “news” show the Kelley File nor do I intend watching any of the upcoming debate “circus”. IMO, this feud is nothing but a plan to get more people to watch which in turn means ratings. I could give a rats behind about ratings. If the voters have not already zeroed in on their candidate of choice, the upcoming debate circus will be nothing more than much of the same, not worth watching.

Not really a Trump fan, but what he has done and continues to do is marginalize the MSM that has seen fit to shape political opinion rather than report the news, and expose political correctness used against him for what it is. He has also used political correctness against his opponents effectively.

Absolutely. This simulated new company is a paper tiger, in the rain.

She shouldn’t have dressed and looked like a hooker, delayed the debate by nattering stupidly with her dumb colleagues Bret Bair & Wallace, and asked stupid, unhelpful questions after a diatribe at Trump about some women he’s tangled with. Why shouldn’t see have had a rough couple of days?!!!
