Trump and Fox said to be in talks over Monday interview
CNN ^

Posted on 08/10/2015 6:59:32 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Donald Trump and the Fox News Channel are in talks about Trump possibly appearing on Fox on Monday night, according to a source with knowledge of the talks.

Trump has been lambasting Fox for days, ever since he was challenged in last week's GOP debate.

It is "highly unlikely" Trump would appear at 9 p.m. with host Megyn Kelly, the source said, and that's probably an understatement. Trump has repeatedly and personally insulted Kelly in recent days.

But talks are underway about a Trump interview with another prime time host, like Sean Hannity, the source said, adding that nothing had been confirmed as of Monday morning.

In the meantime, Fox has dramatically ratcheted down its coverage of Trump. It hasn't covered Trump's criticisms of Kelly and the two other debate moderators, Chris Wallace and Bret Baier.

Trump's most recent tweet about Fox came on Sunday afternoon: "It amazes me that other networks seem to treat me so much better than Fox News. I brought them the biggest ratings in history, and I get zip!"

This is a true clash of titans. Fox News is the favored network of Republicans, and Trump is the Republican campaign front-runner.

All politicians are owned by big daddy donors and China

For sure! They’d be crazy if they didn’t try to take advantage of Fox’s screwup. Great opportunity for CNN and all they have to do is drop the liberal agenda and do straight news from 5pm to 9pm.

Greta would be my number one choice. I still think she would have done a much better job than Megyn. Right now Megyn is just caught up with being famous.

I've learned never to discount the bonds of sisterhood.

"..When the target..."

When the target has an "R" after it's name, and doesn't become fearful and grovel... they have no clue what to do.

And it's amazing how the "target" never has a "D" after it's name, though, isn't it... just sayin'...

Kinda fun to watch them twist their underwear in a wad, isn't it...

I read an interview of the guy who submitted the qustion. Genuine born-again Jesus follower. He just wanted to what was on their hearts but Meghan turned it into a nasty gotcha question. BTW, Cruz had the best answer.

Now all they have to do is get Trump to come on this week and to stay away from Fox. Wouldn’t it be something if one blowhard took down the Fox blowhards.

“I would stipulate that Megyn Kelly be fired”

Better yet, have Trump come on and say “Megyn, you’re fired!”

Trump seems to favor Greta. She does phone interviews with him all the time.

Fox News will remain popular, at least for now. I have some problems with them but they are better than all the other news stations and the mainstream.

They did a poor job with this debate. Not just Megyn’s nasty attacks on Trump but a good debate would consist of substantive questions; maybe with not everybody answering the same question but two or three.

There should be a scrupulous attempt to give equal time to everyone on stage. If you’ve invited them, give them equal time no matter their ratings.

Agree.

Fox News is no longer on at my house, after being on daily for almost 19 years.

I have grown tired of the hearing leftist drivel 50% of the time in some weird quest to be “fair and balanced”.

With Thursday night’s debacle, the little I could stand of them has evaporated.

No one can defend putting three high-profile TV personalities in anything called ‘moderation’ of a Republican (not Dem vs. Rep) debate. It was always going to be an adverserial media snark fest.

Yeah, but then I’ve seen two women fight that would make 2 schoolyard bullies blush.

Agreed... Post debate MK was gleeful thinking she had taken DT down with having Kraut on too followed by the Focus group all to hammer home the idea that DT was done. All planned.

"Trump should insist on an apology by Fox first - not for him, but for all of us. We were entitled to a legitimate debate and not just a hack job."

I see what you did there ;-)

Brilliant!

Maybe RA saw the video of the YouTube “show” called “The Viewers View” posted on Drudge and it hit home.

“Fox News is no longer on at my house, after being on daily for almost 19 years.”

So now do you watch MSNBC? They LOVE Trump over there. Mika and Joe were vehemetely defending him this morning. Al Sharpton covers Trump with glowing coverage on his show every night. I like to channel surf and see what the enemy is doing.

I wonder why MSNBC is giving so much positive press to Trump??? sarc
