Real-estate tycoon Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will no longer do interviews on Fox News shows because the network has been treating him "unfairly."
".@FoxNews has been treating me very unfairly & I have therefore decided that I won't be doing any more Fox shows for the foreseeable future," the Republican presidential front-runner wrote on Twitter.
It wasn't immediately clear what caused Trump to announce the boycott, but he has repeatedly feuded with the network in recent days and weeks.
On Monday night and Tuesday morning, Trump released a lengthy tweetstorm attacking hosts Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly, as well as the "Trump haters" they have on their shows.
He called Kelly "the worst" and labeled her show "terrible." He said O'Reilly "was very negative to me in refusing to post the great polls that came out today including NBC."
He also said he had a hard time watching Fox News, while retweeting multiple supporters trashing Fox and calling for a boycott of the network because of its supposed bias against him.

Be careful what you wish for. You can’t even call Trump a RINO. He is like Michael Bloomberg the former mayor of NYC. He ran as a Republican and then flipped to being an Independent Nanny Stater.
He must be a liberal!!
Proving what a pansy he is. If he doesn't have the gonads to stand up to the American media instead of running from them, I shudder to think how he'd handle the true belligerents of the world. What's he going to do when he has to deal with Putin or Rouhani or Kim Jong-un? I know! He can send them a really nasty Tweet! It's a new kind of diplomacy and sure to be effective! Why, it will be terrific! Great! He promises! We'll win! Seriously, he promises!
I have been complaining about Fox here as recently as last night before hearing this, people were saying to me, what are you still watching for? I was watching Meagyn Kelly last night and needed to find a place to vent, so I looked for the last thread I could find on Trump, and said Kelly was the worst I have ever seen her last night
Fox on Special Report have completely lost it, Brit Hume while showing his true colors for a couple years, I still had some amount of respect for him, I used to look up to this man, but Brit has just totally lost it, very sad to see.
I still have been watching, mostly just Hannity, but do some flipping of the dials in the evening. If I am home at 9 AM or 11 AM I like to tune in for the headlines, I also like to check out CNN and Msnbc, i used to say I like to hear what the enemy is saying, but now sadly this includes much of Fox.
Sorry but I suspect that some of the folks that have lashed out at me for still tuning in are still tuning in themselves to some extent.
Honestly I watch less of Fox than I have in years, I gave up Fox and Friends years ago because it`s just baby sitting for adults, I feel much better about mysel;f since I stopped that.
Why because I have sensitive ears? Are you a refugee from DU?
If Fox cancelled his O’Reilly interview because of his tweets, then this is their fault.
What gives Fox the right to cancel his appearance just because he criticizes their network? Don’t they beg for interviews with the Clintons, Obama and many other lefties despite them criticizing Fox for being biased all the time?
Hey it’s a win win win win win scenario the way you put it down.
Good for him. I am tired of Fox’s liberal hosts and the nonsense that goes on rather than news reporting. “Outnumbered”, “The Five”, “A Healthy You & Carol Alt”, “Geraldo Rivera Reports”, Shepard Smith Reporting”, “The Kelly File” and “The O’Reilly Factor” are all a waste of time, imho.
Thank you.

Did they all choose to break bread together or is there a seating chart?
My money is on the former.
I wish for an end to illegal immigration, a nice big beautiful wall and NO to amnesty. Unfortunately, your candidate supports amnesty of 40 million illegals, even if he refuses to call it that.
Bob Beckel is now on CNN on the weekends, on their 4 or 5 pm central time show.
I don't recall making an assessment of FOX's objectivity on this thread. Why are you asking me that?
Thanks again.

Good call on Greta. Cold as ice she was.
If only that were going to happen. There will be no wall and they will still be coming.
You're full of shit, Trump has literally been on everyone's show over the past couple of months. It's not a matter of being "afraid" of Fox news. It's just a matter of boycotting a "conservative" network that has become a GOPe propaganda channel.
You're letting your anti-Trump derangement color your judgments.
Well, gee. You seem just a bit conflicted.
“Obama is a sociopathic Malignant Narcissist, pathological liar, not to mention a heavy drug user—including cocaine—an alcohol abuser, a raging Addictive Dysfunctional personality who gets his jollies by watching his personal hit list carried out [”I’m very good at killing people”—Obama]...”
There are numerous “qualified” Republican “conservative” candidates running who would/will be better than Obama.
