For all of our Trump fans, a sweet little morsel left over from yesterday’s Gabriel Sherman post about the latest eruption of the Trump/Fox war.
Are there any Fox News hosts so obsequious towards Trump that they might dial him up and beg him to come back, like Johnny Fontane pleading with the Godfather to help him get that part he always wanted? Seems hard to imagine for most of them. Emphasis on “most.”
One reason there likely won’t be peace in our time is that Trump still has not gotten over Kelly’s questioning of him during the opening Republican primary debate. “She caused me a lot of damage, didn’t she?” Trump recently vented to a friend. “He’s really angry,” a source explained…
Both sides are posturing to save face. Yesterday a Fox statement called Trump’s boycott “stale and tiresome.” But a source close to the Trump campaign told me that Trump thinks he has the leverage. Trump has been hearing from Fox hosts who are worried that his boycott will hurt ratings. The calculus seems to be that by shunning Fox, Trump is hoping to drive a wedge between Fox hosts, Kelly, and Ailes. That may be wishful thinking. As an Ailes friend told me today: “Roger can’t turn back. The entire credibility of Fox as powerbroker rests on Trump being destroyed.”

It’s Me-GYN who has got Trump on the brain. She dedicates her show to attack Trump.
I don't believe much of that report.
I will say this. If this is truly Roger's mindset, he's in deep trouble.
Well, with that, he has put out the doormat for all the MSNBC viewers. All ten of them...
You keep your nose in that corner FOX news.
Hell hath no fury like a vindictive harpy exposed.
They can still interview Jeb.
Sums up so much that is wrong.
Fair and balanced? Unbiased reporting? Objectivity? Naaaaaaaaaah -- they're Powerbrokers! They pick winners! They destroy candidates! Isn't that what you want the media to do -- pick your politicians for you so that the voting thing is a foregone conclusion??
No?
Of course, there is the chance that this is just soap opera stuff and Fox and Trump are working together to maximize public exposure to benefit both parties.

If your TV service does not carry, call and email daily and if enough folks do it your service will start carrying it. Verizon does.....so tell them you will switch if they don’t! One America News is great! No commercials but instead they do little educational clips of American Historical Facts and tributes to our Military. Awesome!

Truth is, Donald Trump does not need Fox, they need him!
If they happen to have Donald on, I will watch Fox ONLY during the minutes Donald appears! Then back to OAN!
On the other hand, it is the media, including Fox New, that gave the braggart so much air time he was bound to get high polling numbers.
Lol!
So true, so true!
Consider that it is a Trump source ...
Thank you!
Megyn the Twit didn’t have to start on some inane question about a scene in a reality TV show, which she mischaracterized. She brought about her own troubles. Now she has to live with ratings consequences. As to Ailes, Lowry’s description of what Fiorina did to Trump applies to what Murdoch will do to Ailes if he backs off att all. Murdoch’s pettiness over Ivanka Trump being a loyal friend to Murdock’s ex wife Wendi. Trump can blow off fox news. If he wants to talk to Hannity, there is a radio show for that.
“Powerbrokers”.
Strange that they’d admit they seek to influence elections, no?
Freudian slip or in-our-faces bragging?
Reporters are supposed to report, not pontificate.
The nature of media is changing —they don’t have so much of a shadow of the commanding leverage they once did.
That trend is going to continue for sure.
GOOD FOR TRUMP..!

Me neither.
