From the article:

Lewandowski stated that Megyn had a ‘rough couple of days after that last debate’ and he ‘would hate to have her go through that again.’

Maybe he never said that at all. But if he did, does anybody know what he meant by “a rough couple of days?” That would seem to be the crux of this story.

Most liberals think Fox News is conservative. I think it hires conservatives and liberals. Other networks pretty much just higher liberals. It’s strange to see a Republican picking a fight with Fox News. Why not CBS, CNN, NPR?

I would expect a politician to complain to or about a network, and not name names publicly. Putting the focus on an individual reporter does not seem right. It seems like an effort to intimidate. If it works, it’s easy to send the message to another reporter “cooperate or you’re next.”

People should be held accountable.

Fox doesn’t get to dictate the rules.

They sound arrogant. They lost it.

because there is some kind of secret unholy alliance between fox news and the rnc to the effect of “anyone but trump (and cruz)”?

Megyn took a rather lengthy vacation after the first debate.

First, think back, after the debate, how trump supporters and others railed, contacted Fox, and how many people haven't watched Kelly since that debate. While that uproar was going on, and it was quite an uproar, Megyn took off for an unscheduled vacation. The conventional wisdom was that everyone would side with Kelly. The woman card, the victim card, the poor me attacked by a big bad man card.

Secondly, since August, Kelly's show has been a nonstop bash fest on Trump. She gets people, especially recently almost all the NR editors, asks her little questions, and then just sits back and lets everyone say all the things she is thinking, without having to get her hands dirty. It's not her public words or the debates that Trump is referring to when he says she is very biased, its her shows that have turned into Hate Trump central. REally pathetic.
