Trump is taking his feud with Fox News to a new level as he went
on MSNBC and blasted the network’s lack of professionalism in what can
be best be described as a declaration of war.
Trump was asked if he is going to get into a “slugfest” with Megyn Kelly.
He answered:
You know, I don’t care. It’s not that important
to me to be honest with you. You know, I have a life. I have a good
life. It’s ok. If she feels that she wants to do it that way, that’s ok
with me, but I just don’t think it’s very professional. I do say this, I
was listening to you folks, and Joe before if you’re going to do that
to me, I think its great but you have to do it to everyone else, or ease
it up. But you can’t to it to Trump. I walked out of that room and
people were saying that was really unfair. And if you look at Twitter, I
mean Twitter, it’s all over the place. It’s the number one story on
Twitter now about the unfair treatment, so it wasn’t just Joe and a
couple of the folks I’m talking to right now that saw it. People thought
it was very unfair.
Now, can I live with that? Yes. I’m very
surprised at Fox News that they would do that because, you know, I would
say it’s pretty unprofessional.
By repeatedly calling out Fox News for
unprofessional behavior, Trump was declaring war on Fox. Even as he said
that he can live it, Trump couldn’t resist taking shots at Fox. The
ratings demonstrated that Fox News needs Trump a lot more than
the reality television star needs Fox News.
The Fox News debate set a cable record with 24
million viewers, but how many of those 24 million tuned in for Trump?
The fact of the matter is that the debate would have drawn a much
smaller audience without Trump. The lesson that cable news is likely to
have learned from the debate is that Trump brings ratings.
Everybody saw the Fox News was trying to take out
Trump, and the only way that what FNC did could be viewed as
unprofessional behavior is if one believes that Fox is a real news
network. Fox News isn’t a real news network. Their mission is to get a
Republican steal the office of the president.
After Trump’s Twitter rampage, and this interview on MSNBC, there is no denying that Trump is at war with Fox News.
