Donald Trump Backs Off Fox News: Roger Ailes Just Called, ‘Assures Me’ of Fair Treatment
Yahoo! TV / The Wrap ^ | August 10, 2015 | Jordan Chariton

Donald Trump backed off his tough talk toward Fox News on Monday after he said network chairman Roger Ailes called him with assurances the network plans to cover him fairly.

“Roger Ailes just called. He is a great guy & assures me that “Trump” will be treated fairly on @FoxNews. His word is always good!” Trump tweeted.

The call from Ailes comes after a whirlwind weekend that pitted Trump against one of Fox News’ biggest stars, Megyn Kelly.

On Friday, Trump said Kelly had it out for him in Thursday night’s GOP debate, with blood coming out of her eyes or “wherever.” The comment was immediately panned by political and media pundits who believed that Trump was suggesting Kelly was menstruating....

Just reported that Trump will appear on Kelly's show tonight and apologize to her:

"Megyn, I'm really, truly sorry that you are such a stupid idiot..."

Who will assure Cruz of fair treatment?

Cruz was pigeonholed with the shutting down the government question.

And Carson was pigeonholed with a push-question about his foreign policy credentials.

And neither of them got fair air time at all. They were practically ignored for large segments.

They are the ones who should be apologized to, not Trump.

Why have’nt Trumps poll numbers dived into the abyss?

No problem after “Mexico is sending their bad people”.
No problem after “McCain is a war hero because he was captured”.
No problem after “Blood coming out Megyn’s eyes”.

What brand of Teflon is Trump using? Actually I think something different is going on in the country.

Wasn’t McCain a “smart man” and then later... not so much?

How could that be? LOL.

I guess all who don’t “like” or are not “nice” to The Donald are stupid?

Trump has negotiated his promised fair treatment. He fought like Hell for it all weekend.

Cruz and Carson will have to do the same.

Trusting Fox would be the first major mistake of his campaign.

Good. Now Trump can declare victory and move on. Ailes blinked first.

Lets see what Trump has to say when he pops up on Greta or Hannity tonight.

I don’t think he has to trust them. If they do the same thing again then it will only benifit Trump because he took fox at their word and they went back on it. It will only help him if they go back on it.
