It’s easy to call Donald Trump thin-skinned. He is, but the so called ‘conservative’ Fox News network has been bashing him since the Megyn Kelly debate in August. It’s no secret Fox News is openly cheering for Jeb Bush to become the GOP nominee. In case he falters, they are pushing Carly Fiorina and Marco Rubio as their insurance policies. John Kasich is another favorite of Fox News, but hasn’t gained any traction in the polls. So if you watch Fox News, you got a prime time line up of Bill O’Reilly and Megyn Kelly bashing Trump for most of the hour. Even Greta Van Susteren joined the bash Trump train this week.
Regardless if you like Donald Trump or not, he brings ratings. The GOP debates saw over 20 million viewers on both CNN and Fox News. Easily a record for any primary debate. You expect the constant bad mouthing of Trump on CNN and MSNBC. But Fox News and their gang of GOP-e hacks like Karl Rove just can’t help themselves when it comes to Trump. Something about him scares the hell out of the GOP-e.

.@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.

So Fox News isn’t going to be able to pull ratings, at least for awhile from Donald Trump as he’s blacklisted them and wouldn’t appear on their network for the foreseeable future. Instead, if you still watch Fox News, you’ll be bombarded with Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina and John Kasich.
