As the case of Donald Trump vs. Fox News Channel continues to play out in the open, both sides will meet next week to try and hammer out their differences. This from a Fox News spokesperson:
“Fox News Chairman & CEO Roger Ailes and Donald Trump spoke this morning and plan to have a meeting next week to discuss their differences of opinion regarding Fox’s coverage of Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign. Ailes will be joined by senior Fox editorial executives. Mr. Trump believes he has been treated unfairly in certain instances. FOX News has held every candidate in this race to the highest journalistic standards throughout our coverage. We believe a candid meeting about our differences is required and that any misunderstandings can be handled without compromising those standards.”
Bill O’Reilly, the most recent FNC anchor to find himself in Trump’s line of fire, went on LIVE with Kelly and Michael this morning to talk about his new book, when the so-called boycott came up.
“It’s like we never know, it goes hour by hour,” O’Reilly said. “I’ve know Trump for 30 years. I know him very well, and he’s a good guy. We go to Yankee games and Knick games and sometimes Giant games, and he is a guy that wants people to like him, alright? But you don’t run for president if you want people to like you. Because there’s going to be a significant part of the country that hates you, because you are running against what they believe. But the worst thing that ever happened in Donald Trump’s life was he learned how to tweet. That was the worst thing. What should happen is the people who love and cherish Donald Trump should, after 9:00 at night, handcuff him. So he can’t do that.”
In fact, it was after 9 p.m. last night that Trump tweeted this:
.@FoxNews owes me an apology for allowing clueless pundit @RichLowry to use such foul language on TV. Unheard of!
