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.”
Speaking of stale and tiresome, Hillary Clinton is also boycotting Fox News. Who cares?
However, Trump is an icon and draws a massive audience wherever he goes. Fox cannot ignore the rating potential of having Trump on the air there.
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.
