'The CEO earned Murdoch's trust because Fox generates $1 billion in profit, but also because he was always in control. But in recent months Murdoch has been attending news meetings at Fox in the wake of a health scare that forced Ailes to take an extended leave of absence,' writes Sherman.
'Succession planning at Fox is very much on Murdoch's agenda. If Ailes loses his grip on the Trump situation - and right now it looks like he is - Murdoch will have another reason to worry about the stability of his most valuable asset.'
It’s simple, Fox. Apologize and sideline that bitch Megyn.
Who’s your daddy?
"...it's called ratings"
Even if Kelly is pulled off the debate, I dont think Trump should go.
She will just give her gotcha questions to another moderator for them to ask to Trump.
Trump looks like a petulant little 3rd grader here. Presidential? Not so much.
Perhaps a deal can be reached. Michael Moore to replace Kelly Megan?
Question:
How is ABC News responding and how will it affect the scheduled ABC Feb 6th NH debate?
Does ABC News have legal recourse against Fox if their debate is canceled or has lost revenue due to the actions of Fox?
IIRC, the sponsors contract stipulated that Trump be there.
I'm betting the debate will be cancelled.
Fox News: “We distort, you deride”
.
MSNBC the only channel we can trust. apparently.
Joe also went off on how FNC is blundering by not kissing Trump's behind like he and Mika do on their MSNBC show.
Trump is a regular on that MSNBC show and Mika swooned yesterday when Trump said on her show that he has a great relationship with Pelosi.
Exactly what she is looking for.
So, he’s hitting on the women, is he? Lecher.
Trump reveres his family, even his worst detractors can’t deny that. How is it playing if Fox News really did call his wife and daughter to get them to change his mind?
Look at them scramble, LOL. Good. Fox News is a tool of GOPe hacks. They’ve long abused their viewership by subtlety pandering to the cheap labor express with most of their “opinion” shows, and now seeing Megyn Kelly fist bumping with Michael friggin’ Moore is just more confirmation that I was right to turn that station off years ago and never look back. Good riddance to bad garbage.
Faux is re-writing Trump attack scripts to Cruz attack scripts.
Other candidates are looking for their long knives to viciously attack
Cruz. The after debate talking heads are re-writing their scripts too.
And finally Frank Luntz is having to adjust their pre-determined
outcome.
I don’t see how Faux re-writes all their scripts in 2 days.
Without Trump, they got nothing. Very few people will bother to watch a debate without one of the front runners participating.
They should have realized what a financial loss it would cause before they allowed one of their anchors to throw snark in his direction.
Trump knows how to play this game, and he's pretty good at it. I won't say Fox gives in, but I say they will certainly give him more respect in the future, especially if he wins Iowa.
Well played, Mr. Trump!
Trump is setting the standard, i can just imagine Iran screaming for more money, Trump forwards them to a kennel cleaning service.

If not for Trump, Test Patterns would get better ratings than these debates.
