Sometimes we get so successful at what we are doing that we start to take our success for granted. When you reach that point, however, you have usually reached your pinnacle of success and it's inevitably downhill from there.
Such is the case with FOX NEWS and with Megyn Kelly in particular.
When Kelly started her show Tuesday night, you could see the anger in the nostrils of her nose and the glare of her eyes; the very word "Trump" had sent her into a state of mind that I have only seen in women possessed by manic depression and bipolar disease. She was livid. Throughout the night and into yesterday, FOX anchors united solidly against Trump. Roger Ailes is said to have tried to reach Trump's wife and his daughter to persuade them to get The Donald to straighten up and fly right.
Meanwhile, several polls show that 83% of FOX's audience are ticked off enough at the FOX response that they are not going to watch tonight's debate. As of post time yesterday afternoon, several other candidates were considering being a "no show." FOX's response has basically been, "We're FOX NEWS and we're not going to be told what to do by anyone."
Kelly has made no secret of her obsession against Trump and Trump has every right to decline to participate in a debate hosted by Kelly who would undoubtedly turn her position into a platform from which to make Trump look like an idiot, just as she did in the first FOX debates last August.
I stood behind FOX in its clash with DISH TV last year, going so far as to switch from DISH to DirectTV. FOX was right in that instance but, they are dead wrong in this one. No legitimate news source has the right to interject itself into a politics, but by its attitude, FOX has. Evidently, neither Kelly nor the top dogs at FOX NEWS give a damn about how their audience feels about it.
They've both gotten way too big for their britches.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
