Ridiculous

You know the back and forth that's been going on between The Donald and Fox News.    And the furor that has been created by The Donald's refusal to participate in the final debate that Fox is hosting.  I'm not convinced it's the best thing he could have done tactically but he has proved that he will do whatever he bloody well pleases and it will be interesting to see what happens.

But one thing I've noticed is it's not often being reported what Fox did that provided Trump with his final excuse to get out and I think it's worth noting.  I tossed Fox into the same box as the ABC channels a long time ago - it's not nearly as fair and balanced as it proclaims.   That feeling was confirmed by this Fox News press release:

 “We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president. A nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings.”

 Various words such as "unprofessional", "childish", and "puerile" come to mind. 

Could someone please stand up and be an adult?

    This is mainstream media you're talking about, so ... no.

    1. And Trump needs to settle down a bit, too. Although it's refreshing to see someone not afraid of the media, and he has done a great service by smacking things down on the table that we absolutely MUST deal with, a president really shouldn't run around calling people he doesn't like bimbos.

  2. I agree Trump needs to settle down a bit.
    Where was the outrage when the RNC told the Communist News Network they were bias and they were dropping CNN?
    Donald Trump tells Fox News they are bias and everybody goes nuts.There is a double standard.

    1. I understand it's his personality to be bombastic, but there's a dignity to the office of president that he needs to consider.
