Rightfully so - Kelly and O'Reilly are bad journalists and not on my to watch list.

UPDATE: Trump has responded back to Fox News:

Mr. Trump stands by his statement made earlier today. 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. 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.

END UPDATE.

Using his Twitter account, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump announced Wednesday that “for the foreseeable future” he is boycotting Fox News. Upset with his coverage on the “fair and balanced” network, Trump tweeted, “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 probably holds the most leverage in this fight. He’s a ratings juggernaut who can dash over to CNN or MSNBC and boost their ratings with a single appearance.
A couple of hours later, Fox responded with a statement calling Trump’s attacks “stale and tiresome.”



Tuesday morning, Trump took to Twitter to complain about his coverage on both the “O’Reilly Factor” and Megyn Kelly’s show.

Trump’s war with Kelly dates back almost two months to the Fox News presidential debate.
Hillary Clinton is also boycotting Fox News.

The Godmother of Birtherism just doesn’t have the courage to say so out loud.

LOL you almost busted my eardrum!

Look at this:

Both sides are posturing to save face. Yesterday a Fox statement called Trump's boycott "stale and tiresome." But a source close to the Trump campaign told me that Trump thinks he has the leverage. Trump has been hearing from Fox hosts who are worried that his boycott will hurt ratings. The calculus seems to be that by shunning Fox, Trump is hoping to drive a wedge between Fox hosts, Kelly, and Ailes. That may be wishful thinking. As an Ailes friend told me today: “Roger can't turn back. The entire credibility of Fox as powerbroker rests on Trump being destroyed.”

This is wrong for a news organization to see itself as a "powerbroker". This isn't why we watch the news or need the news. We want honest, forthright, meaningful, honest reporting. That's what news is, that's why we turn on the tube and pay these outrageous cable fees. Americans don't want to be pawns to a media brokering power in a country where the people are the power.

Shame on you Fox News!
