Trump says he won’t appear on Fox News

By

Citing unfair treatment, Donald Trump said Wednesday that he is not going to appear on any Fox News shows “for the forseeable future.”

“.@FoxNews 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 tweeted.

The Republican presidential candidate has devoted Monday and Tuesday nights this week to blasting the network’s coverage of him on Twitter, tweeting and retweeting criticism.

“I am having a really hard time watching Fox News,” he wrote Monday night.

Trump also called out Bill O’Reilly on Twitter this week for having “the same old Trump haters” as guests and “refusing to … post the great polls that came out today including NBC.”

O’Reilly fired back on Tuesday, telling NBC’s Matt Lauer that Twitter is “like the worst thing you could give Donald Trump.”“He wants people to like him. When people criticize him, he takes it personally,” the host of “The O’Reilly Factor” said. “So I just think this is just a extension of his reality show, ‘The Apprentice.’ This is just theater right now.”

Trump has criticized Fox’s coverage in the past, particularly in the case of Megyn Kelly, who asked him tough questions during the first GOP debate.

He and Fox News chief Roger Ailes have struck two truces in the last two months, the last one coming in late August after Trump unleashed a series of tweets blasting “The Kelly File” anchor.

“Roger Ailes is great. He’s a special guy and a good friend of mine. We just spoke two minutes ago,” Trump told Laura Ingraham in an Aug. 25 interview. “I mean, Roger Ailes is a great guy and no, I have no problem,.”

The first truce came days after the Aug. 6 debate at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, where Trump had a contentious back-and-forth with Kelly and said in a later interview that she had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.” (He later explained that he was referring to her nose.)

“Roger Ailes just called. He is a great guy & assures me that ‘Trump’ will be treated fairly on @FoxNews,” he wrote on Twitter at that time. “His word is always good!”
