Donald Trump on Thursday morning explained why he has decided to boycott Fox News after he complained on Wednesday that the network treats him “unfairly.”
The real estate mogul said that Fox host Bill O’Reilly “is okay,” even though Fox News cancelled Trump’s appearance on O’Reilly’s show Wednesday night. The network said they cancelled the appearance before Trump announced his boycott. Trump complained about how the network covers his performance in the polls.
“They don’t put up the good polls. They don’t put up polls — if I’m leading big in a poll, they don’t put it up,” Trump added, later complaining that he saw a headline noting that Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) surpassed former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in a poll without noting Trump’s lead.
Trump then turned to Megyn Kelly’s show, referencing National Review editor Rich Lowry’s Wednesday night appearance on “The Kelly File.”
“Megyn Kelly, you had this loser on last night. This guy Lowry — I never even heard of him. He was so out of control. He lost control of himself. It was actually sad,” Trump said on “Morning Joe.”
On Wednesday night, Lowry said of Trump, “Let’s be honest: Carly cut his balls off with the precision of a surgeon, and he knows it.”
The National Review editor’s comments sparked a battle with Trump on Twitter Wednesday night.
.@realDonaldTrump man, you can dish it out but you REALLY, REALLY can’t take it

.@FoxNews owes me an apology for allowing clueless pundit @RichLowry to use such foul language on TV. Unheard of!

.@realDonaldTrump I thought the Carly cut your balls off line might bother you, but you know it’s true…
— Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) September 24, 2015
.@realDonaldTrump so it’s OK for you to insult Carly’s looks, but you can’t handle me describing what happened to you in the debate?
— Rich Lowry (@RichLowry) September 24, 2015
.@realDonaldTrump a deal for you, Donald: if you apologize to Carly for your boorish insult, I might stop noting how she cut your b**** off

On “Morning Joe” Thursday morning, Trump said that Twitter enables him to “fight back.”
“It’s like owning the New York Times without the losses,” he said. “With one tweet, 140 characters, you can knock somebody out.”
Watch part of Trump’s interview on “Morning Joe” via MSNBC:
I’ll give him this, he has Republican whining down pat.
I have had it with you two boys. Pipe down, go to your rooms. No dessert for you tonight. You are grounded for the next 14 months.
Dumpster whines and complains about everyone and everything…However, in this instance the detestable Lowry was spot on!
Watching Trump face off with Fox is like watching a rat go after a roomful of cockroaches. You don’t root for anything but complete carnage.
It’s nice Lowry took time out from seeing sparkles and thinking Sarah Palin is winking at him through his tv (translation: he was masturbating to her) long enough to have a Twitter fight with DJT.
Zombie William Buckley must love what’s happened to his magazine, once considered the intellectual leader of the right-wing media food chain.
