Donald Trump vs. Fox News: ‘I got you the highest debate ratings in your history’
CNN Money Article on wtvr.com ^ | 8/7/2015 | CNN Money

Trump’s battles with Kelly will probably further burnish the anchorwoman’s reputation as a tough-as-nails television star. The conservative cable news channel has sought to market Kelly as a strong and independent voice.

Inside Fox, the view at the end of the debate was that all three moderators — Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace — had fared well, and that Kelly was the stand-out.

Some political observers said that Fox’s post-debate coverage seemed tilted against Trump, partly because of a Frank Luntz focus group, convened by Fox and televised immediately after the debate, that had an anti-Trump tone.

Trump was incensed by the focus group.

“Where did you find that dumb panel” he asked Luntz via Twitter.

He also tweeted that Luntz is “a low class slob who came to my office looking for consulting work and I had zero interest. Now he picks anti-Trump panels!”

He completely destroyed Luntz with one tweet. Fox News should be called Rove News.

“He didn’t really answer her question.”

You don’t answer acidic questions like that, because if you do, you grant validity to the premise of the question. You respond to that type of question, and it was really an accusation and not a question. And he responded perfectly.

"Trump’s battles with Kelly will probably further burnish the anchorwoman’s reputation as a tough-as-nails television star."

Not likely.

Kelly's being lambasted all across the internet today, for what she tried to do to Trump last night. The vast majority of those commenting about her (disgraceful) performance, are condemning her in no uncertain terms.

The author is off his nut.

With all the problems facing out nation, the best Megyn could do is a War on Women question? What a failure! She made the debate about her petty grievance!

Me too. Has anybody heard what Laurie Ingraham has said about the debate? I respect her opinion.

I hate to say it, but he is most likely right.

He's only right about what most left-wing urinalists think about Kelly's performance.

The vast majority of ordinary people think otherwise.

I thought I heard a Trump-et sounding the horn of self-worship.

The Trumpet drowned out the Strumpet!

Trump was nice and gave Fox a break last night. It won’t happen again.

I'm rooting for Laura to replace blonde bimbo beech MK.

I well remember Laura Ingraham yucking it up with Ann Coulter as they laid into Sarah Palin on Laura's show. I've never listened to Laura since, and quit buying Ann's books after that.

Don’t watch Megyn. Don’t think she is nearly the News Hound/ Broad knowledge prognosticator one would require to host a show.
The Donald really did put her in her place.

Unfortunately for her, there is no way to recover from it. She’ll be gone/replaced within the year.

LG would be a nice transition away from Ms Kelly

Greta has been on very positive show. Can’t understand how ghenpundents can think Trump out when the many polls say his numbers are higher

She just did an interview with Rick Santorum. They sent through him winning Iowa but the Gopee declaring Romnoy winner. Explained he won 11 states but stated facts that supported just why DT won’t sign his support.
More need to be reminded of their manipulation to get their person on ticket

The plan was to come out of the gate and make mincemeat out of Trump so that that idiot Conservatives would
Pay attention to the establishment Prince, Bush.

Fox, we are sick of the center and center/left Republicans who are selling our country down the road.
The bunch of them are complicit in the downfall of our country.

You mean the group that went into the debate favoring Trump and came out of it favoring Ted Cruz...that dumb panel?

There will be a lot of pressure on future debates to top or at least equal this high mark. The dems know they could never do it w/o skewing, brewing and distilling the results.

Crap through and through. She got the job on looks alone...not brains.

Megyn could have truly 'been a contender', but went to the dark side and threw it all away. I don't see how she recovers from lowering herself to such a depth, in such an important, historic event.

Some things are simply beyond the pale, and unforgivable. Consumers of Fox News will not forget this.

It would be great if millions suddenly stopped watching her show.

Methinks that's about to happen. Watch her numbers fall off a cliff in the next ratings sweep.

with all the kvetching here and elsewhere to the right side of the internet, I’m hoping no one is watching Fox today for any reason whatsoever. Put your remotes where your keyboards are.
