Fox News Accuses Trump Campaign Manager of Threatening Megyn Kelly

[Carling]

I have to give Trump credit here.  Watching him make these establishment Republicans have a meltdown has been worth every moment of this strange primary season.

Now Trump is "terrorizing" poor Megyn Kelly.  To her credit, she actually was defending Trump's decision tonight as the two GOPe shills were blasting him.

As many of our viewers know, FOX News is hosting a sanctioned debate in Des Moines, Iowa on Thursday night, three days before the first votes of the 2016 election are cast in the Iowa Caucus. Donald Trump is refusing to debate seven of his fellow presidential candidates on stage that night, which is near unprecedented. We’re not sure how Iowans are going to feel about him walking away from them at the last minute, but it should be clear to the American public by now that this is rooted in one thing – Megyn Kelly, whom he has viciously attacked since August and has now spent four days demanding be removed from the debate stage.

Capitulating to politicians’ ultimatums about a debate moderator violates all journalistic standards, as do threats, including the one leveled by Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski toward Megyn Kelly. In a call on Saturday with a Fox News executive, Lewandowski stated that Megyn had a ‘rough couple of days after that last debate’ and he ‘would hate to have her go through that again.’ Lewandowski was warned not to level any more threats, but he continued to do so. We can’t give in to terrorizations toward any of our employees. Trump is still welcome at Thursday night’s debate and will be treated fairly, just as he has been during his 132 appearances on FOX News & FOX Business, but he can’t dictate the moderators or the questions.”

===========================================

Is 'terrorizations' even a word?

Megyn Kelly is now 'terrorized' by one of Trump's staff?

Trump is a terrorist?

One-side it much, Adweek?

Ailes has to know that Trump won't come now unless Fox surrenders and it certainly doesn't sound like they will.  There has been a lot of talk lately about Trump ending it early by running the table on early contests. Part of me wonders if all this stuff this week is to just try everything to shake it up.  The Republican media could certainly plan something like that, but I'm more inclined to think this is just a fight between two alpha types - Ailes and Trump and Roger is doing everything he can to pump it up...just like Trump does.

Trump has said he will only talk with Rupert Murdoch.

That's such a great move.

CEO to CEO, and cut out the middle men. 

I hope others are enjoying this entire spectacle as much as I am.  The buttoned-down go-along-get-along BS doesn't work.  Let's burn this thing down and see what happens with either Trump or Cruz!

I wonder if they'll bring their trophy wives along to the meeting?
