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.

Fox News has now been Islamisized
They have been part of his campaign, a very small part admittedly, but I think Trump would consider it a fair move.
Trump would be a FOOL to participate based on them withdrawing MEGYN
SHE is not the issue but the media would make her his victim
FOX unprofessional communications crossed Donald’s red line
Trump stated he would be attending a FUNDRAISER for WOUNDED WARRIORS instead of appearing at the debate.
I don’t think removing Megyn is a winning situation for Trump. It will appear to women to be a bullying technique, when in fact, Megyn was setting him up for an ambush.
That is slander, and if anyone has FIRST HAND PROOF that she is. GIVE US proof of your first hand experience with her. Or Zip it.
Like Megan or not......., leave that subject it alone.
That talk is shades of the Clinton's and their Bimbo eruption practices......how many lives have to be sacrificed to satisfy the likes of the Clintons or now even Trump?
Come on, even Trump's many admirers can't help but compare his eye rolls, shifting his hairline front to back as funny. You'd laugh if it was Benny Hill or some of the Monty Python characters standing there doing the same thing!
He simply doesn’t need any rancor from any of the ones connected with this last debate before Iowa and NH.
It will be Fox’s loss and they will pay for it dearly.
OMG I LOVE the face on that kitty!!!
Unprofessional???
You think the behavior of a manchild acting this way is an example of being professional??
Since when do candidates (I don’t care HOW big they think they are) get to dictate to the hosts of a debate who is or is not going to moderate it???
This is a GREAT example of the kind of failed leadership we can see from Trump if he were to somehow secure the nomination and win the general...
Leading from behind the safety of his Twitter account, crying and taking his ball home when he doesn’t get his way...
Yeah... a true “deal maker”...
What a pathetic joke of a coward...
This has nothing to do with the moderators, and instead is completely about his insecurity about the complete humiliation he faces next Monday night.
What is everyone talking about today? Trump.
Isn’t that just terrible? (/sarcasm off)
Trump knows haw to play the media.
Good as there have been way too many debates all in the name of money!!
Well, I must say, The Donald is taking the battle to the media every bit as much as he’s taking it to the establishment, and, in short order, Hitlery.
Couldn’t have ordered up a better candidate at a better time.
To cover both Clinton and Trump, rerun “Pretty Woman” for the 1,000,000th time. Interesting that both Hillary and Billie love Pretty Woman.
What about adding the Muslim to the venue? Do you think that Trump is avoiding a landmine?
A Carson/Cruz debate. Can it get better? s/
Nailed it
These powerful men are frightened by a girl. Or does she have some other leverage that she in the past denied?
The fear is in their court, so they project it onto Trump.
We've seen that trying to force Trump into things doesn't work as planned. I doubt "punishing" him will do any better. He plays at a different level. Daily, he exposes the party and media for the hacks they are.
This is what I was thinking too. They'll have a talk with her, and she will come out and declare that it is her decision to back out.
That pic of Murdoch with Jarrett and Jeb, and the pic of Megyn Kelly sucking up to Michael Moore, should be enough to tell everyone with an IQ above room temperature where Fox News’ sympathies lie.
