Donald Trump Renounces Fox News

On Wednesday, Donald Trump announced on Twitter he will not be going on any Fox shows for the foreseeable future.

He said, “Fox News has been treating me very unfairly & I have therefore decided that I won’t be doing any more Fox shows for the foreseeable future.”

Trump initially had problems with the network after his first Republican presidential debate. Trump said moderator Megyn Kelly was unprofessional and unfair in her treatment of him. He accused her of having “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

Following the controversy, Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes came to Kelly’s defense but according to Trump, called him to assure he would be treated fairly on the network.

This week, Trump began criticizing Fox host Bill O’Reilly.

.@oreillyfactor was very negative to me in refusing to to post the great polls that came out today including NBC. @FoxNews not good for me!

.@oreillyfactor, why don’t you have some knowledgeable talking heads on your show for a change instead of the same old Trump haters. Boring!

After re-tweeting people who said that he should boycott Fox News, Trump continued to insult the network.

I am having a really hard time watching @FoxNews.

Do you ever notice that lightweight @megynkelly constantly goes after me but when I hit back it is totally sexist. She is highly overrated!
