Donald Trump's refusal to attend Fox News' debate on Thursday night has sent Fox News into chaos The network's CEO has reportedly reached out to both Ivanka and Melania Trump to try and get the Republican front-runner to change his mind He refuses to attend over the inclusion of anchor Megyn Kelly as one of the debate moderators and will only speak to network head Rupert Murdoch Kelly meanwhile welcomed liberal filmmaker Michael Moore on her program Tuesday night who applauded her handling of the Trump feud One Fox News anchor said of Moore and Kelly; 'That would be like Rachel Maddow laughing along with Charles Koch as he trashed Hillary Clinton!' Trump called Kelly a 'lightweight reporter' on Wednesday morning and his campaign manager said she is 'completely obsessed' with Trump
The Fox News and Donald Trump feud is heating up now that the Republican front-runner has announced he will not be attending the network's debate Thursday night over the presence of anchor Megyn Kelly.
And while the network appears to be publicly siding with Kelly, who is still set to moderate Thursday's debate, the network is also reportedly trying to privately plead with Trump the best way they know how - through the women in his life.
Joe Scarborough revealed on Morning Joe Wednesday morning that Fox News CEO Roger Ailes had been trying to contact both Ivanka and Melania Trump hoping they could convince Trump to change his mind.

Trump is supposed to be on O’Really tonight, I hope he boycotts it. Bilge will be even more overbearing and insufferable than usual.
Trump’s balance sheet is public with very little debt. Let’s see yours for comparison purposes.
Controversy and subversion of ideals sells. Fear, diversity and PC sells to the ignorant populace at large I guess.
Funny stuff.
You have to appreciate the Trump gambit for its strategic effectiveness.
He’s a master at this.
No, I don’t think it’s about women respecting “Megyn” but when a powerful man is being very verbal with a woman, it appears to be bullying. I think Trump would be better off to let it rest and the story will stand on its own. This story has legs and Trump needs to step back and just watch. The issues needs to be about FNC, Ailes & Murdock.

If you watch on directv or dish, unplug the phone line for a day or so so they cant get you on the ratings.
“I don’t have to prove anything.”
Yes you do. In this topic you are the only one who has no proof to the contrary.
“FIRST HAND PROOF”
The last Fox debate that Megan Kelly was
host she pretty much proved that
she
Can’t Understand Normal Thinking.
Now where is your proof she’s not a Bimbo.
She’s trained in corporate litigation yet here she is,
a liberal talking head. She’s hot and that’s it. Just
a pretty face with an empty head.
No.
What is not true with what I said?
Trump wealth can be bought and sold by Soros or Murdoch.
Trump became a professional celebrity, an employee of a Hollywood production company, like the Kardashians, when he could have been a player.
This is not necessarily a knock on the guy, either. He seems to enjoy life.
He has a common touch. He entertains and makes people feel good. That’s why he is a good politician and is winning.
But he is not a Murdoch or Soros or other master-of-the-universe type, who would never run for office.
Have to agree with you. This will give the media and dems/Marxists a narrative.
I can hear it now... “If Trump can’t stand up to little ole Megyn what will he do when heeds to talk to Putin or the Chinese?”
They are just salivating over this.
I have recovered from my Trump drunk stupor. My first choice has always been Ted Cruz. I don’t want someone who can get along with and make deals with Pelosi and Reid. Been there, done that! Smelling like Trump is Hillary’s trump card. Didn’t even need to go third party. Doing it from the inside.
Spread that info around!
Since Donald Trump does not have a race card or a victim card, he's using our feelings about War Veterans. Sad really.
Smart move, helping the Veterans on that very day and time (not the day before nor the day after) keeps the heat off of him. Sort of like Palestinians hiding in a school while lobbing bombs at Israel.
It seems from the Fox press release that Trump scored a direct hit on the Fox News bunker, and their ears are still ringing. Even if you don’t like Trump, it is fun to watch a major TV news network destroy its own credibility.
I heard they were going to let some muslim that called him a bigot, attack him with questions. Fox is pathetic. They are oblivious that people are as done with them as they are the GOP and their bs.
Can you imagine the loss in revenue for advertising. This thing went from 25 million viewership down to under 12 million. easy.
It was a joke!!!
You Trumpsters love it and laugh your heads off when Trump says anything at all, making fun of them but we dare not use gentle jesting toward your idol, lest we set off your tender skins and you see no comparisons! Get a life!
money is fungible.
it may not be a perfect way to support cause but it is the best that the real world allows.
or would you rather have the WW go without money for the sake of partisan pride?
