GOP PRESIDENTIAL FRONTRUNNER BOYCOTTING NETWORK …

|| By FITSNEWS || The high-stakes war between Donald Trump and Fox News – America’s so-called “conservative” cable news network – is back on.

Again.

Trump announced via Twitter his intention to boycott the network – which has been leading the campaign against his candidacy – because it continues to treat him “very unfairly.”

“Fox News has been treating me very unfairly (and) I have therefore decided that I won’t be doing any more Fox shows for the foreseeable future,” Trump tweeted.

The network quickly responded that it canceled on Trump, not the other way around.

“At 11:45 a.m. today, we canceled Donald Trump’s scheduled appearance on The O’Reilly Factor on Thursday, which resulted in Mr. Trump’s subsequent tweet about his ‘boycott’ of Fox News,” a network spokesperson told CNN.

“When coverage doesn’t go his way, he engages in personal attacks on our anchors and hosts, which has grown stale and tiresome,” the Fox News spokesperson continued. “He doesn’t seem to grasp that candidates telling journalists what to ask is not how the media works in this country.”

Trump’s campaign bristled at the criticism – saying he stood by his statement.

“As a candidate for President of the United States and the definitive front runner in every poll, both nationally and state wide, including the just released poll in the state of Florida, Mr. Trump expects to be treated fairly,” a statement from his campaign noted. “All you have to do is look at the tremendous ratings last night from the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where Mr. Trump was the guest, or the ratings from both debates, to fully understand the facts.”

Our take?

Criticism is a two-way street … and the corporate-owned, special interest-fed mainstream media had better get used to that.  Frankly, we love it that there is finally a candidate with the money, popular support and testicular fortitude to tell the media to go f*ck itself.

Fox is for losers. Totally nose diving in the ratings. Switching to NPR – better coverage.

Mister Trump, we’ll give you fairer coverage than Fox ever will, and that’s saying something!

Trump is saying what the majority of the US populace thinks. The Country is going to Hell.
Christianity is under assault, Conservatism is under assault. The Family Unit is under assault, The Ruling Class (professional Politicians have made a mess of everything. Our Government does NOT WORK!! They are all out for themselves: EPA is a controlling disaster, the VA is a joke, The IRS is a Criminal Enterprise political tool.
America is waking UP to the progressive, liberal disaster and the DO nothing Republicans.

If he is going to pitch a fit with every news channel that have guests on who criticize him – he isn’t going to be on TV much. And that seems to be his bitch with Fox and that his ego is still blistering over Megyn Kelly. Commentators on CNN and MSNBC go after him more harshly than what I’ve see on Fox. This is the man that some in this country want for a President – a thin skinned, blowhard who uses twitter like a vengeful teenager?

In a few months trump will come back begging for time at FOX after he pissed off CNN and the other networks. He will then say that ‘Megyn and Rodger are great guys and love him’ – he is a political whore with no convictions and it’s only power that counts for him.
His political stupidity and shallowness will be his downfall – little. Teddy is waiting o pick up his supporters….

I seriously doubt it. In fact, likely the exact opposite. FOX will want rantings. They will approach Trump with an olive branch and box of chocolates.

Even with the Pope O’Reilly’s ratings are dropping fast. Long Island hack, just like Hannity. Ailes should have dumped him years ago. So sad.

Fox has been trending more and more establishment Republican. Trump is right. Let them lose the ratings. There is always Newsmax TV ch. 223 on dish. I have started watching it more and more as Fox has forgotten the people that made them great.

Trump’s ass kissing “spokesperson” just announced that he will appear on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” tomorrow morning.
That’s right….. NOT paranoid way the fuck out “Newsmax” or any other tin foil hat wearing pitiful excuses of media but LIBERAL MSNBC!!! Sadly your kind will dutifully watch MSNBC to see/hear from your faux savior even though you claim to not watch MSNBC…..
That lying sack of shit is playing your type for chumps and you sadly go along with every pull of the string.
