The feud between Donald Trump and Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has become one of the biggest political stories of 2015, and political junkies across the country have been eagerly awaiting the January 28th rematch to see which — if any — of the media moguls would land the final, devastating blow.
The GOP frontrunner’s animosity toward Megyn Kelly dates back to the first debate of the primary season. In the opening rounds of questioning, Megyn Kelly asked how Donald Trump would respond to Hillary Clinton’s inevitable accusation that he is part of the Republican “war on women.”
She elaborated with comments Trump had made previously, saying, “You’ve called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs,’ ‘slobs’ and ‘disgusting animals'” and suggested that he had made lewd comments to a woman, claiming he’d said to a woman on The Apprentice she would be a “pretty picture on her knees.” The question brought the crowd into an uproar, as the question came off particularly tough, even for Megyn Kelly. Some were delighted by the question, but others were outraged.
As for Trump, he laughed it off initially, but hours later launched a late-night twitter rampage against Kelly that has been ongoing ever since. He called her over-rated, retweeted a user who called her a “bimbo,” then allegedly suggested that Kelly was on her period during the debate, telling CNN that she had “blood coming out of her… whatever.”
In short, they didn’t exactly hit it off.
Now, after a week of intense back and forth between Fox News and Donald Trump regarding Megyn Kelly’s involvement as a moderator, Donald has put a kibosh on the upcoming altercation altogether.
Donald Trump will not participate, but it’s not only about Kelly. Trump is accusing Fox news of ‘playing games’ with a set of press releases.

I guess this post just gives a little more substance to the feeling we have been getting about Fox especially since Donald announced his candidacy for president…we have been listening more closely to the commentators and have picked up vibes about their preferences …actually this article makes a lot of things clear and I guess all the networks are about ratings and their own agendas..I am rooting for Donald to make mincemeat out of the people who have been trying to pull the wool over the eyes of loyal viewers..although I personally like Carson for his personality but the GOP will never nominate him…he is not nasty enough…lol
Just ignore them Sir
Trump will win
Where was all these people when Paul pulled out in the last debate they were not upset then. This doesn’t pass the smell test sounds unfair to us.
TRUMP!

Fox News, and all news Medias, this is our election, ‘WE THE PEOPLE’S,’ let us vote for who we want and stop manipulating the facts and figures to fit your agenda.
Fox News is full of intellectual people who believe their intellect is superior to its viewers, however, we are not so stupid that we cannot see that they, and their invited guests, are out to destroy Trump. And I am sure that they are all cognizant of what they are doing, just as I am sure that their righteous egos feel entitled to discern what is best for America, better than its citizens.
Fox, and some of their quests, have not only work a plan of destruction with their words and body language, but the photos they’ve posted on facebook of Trump look crazed and unbecoming. They have not done this to the other candidates. I have never seen an all-out attack quite as vicious, in fact, criminals on their show are treated with more respect.
Megan Kelly, you are transparent cunning vindictive player in this character assassination game regardless of how your colleagues justify your actions and label you ‘professional.’ I have never watched your show after the first debate, nor will I watch Fox News anymore. And it’s not so much that I am pro-Trump as much as I am against powerful and influential organizations manipulating and misusing their positions to control and influence. That is not the role of a news station despite all the fancy words used to defend their actions.
Fox News, and all news Medias, need to be reminded that this is a country ‘of the people and by the people.’ This is ‘OUR ELECTION’ – stop trying to control it.
And Fox, it’s time to get the dictionary out and look up the definitions of ‘fair’ and ‘balanced.’
