2016 presidential election , Entertainment News<br />

Republican front-runner Donald Trump<br />

announced yesterday that he was pulling out of<br />

Thursday night’s debate on Fox News , citing a<br />

refusal to share the stage with network anchor<br />

Megyn Kelly. Trump has subjected Kelly to any<br />

number of insults, gendered and otherwise: “<br />

bimbo ,” “ blood coming out of her wherever ,”<br />

and the more garden-variety accusations of<br />

stupidity or incompetence. And yet, as is the<br />

nature of trolls everywhere, it’s Trump that<br />

claims the grievance against Kelly, protesting<br />

that her questioning of him—a tactic we in the<br />

media biz call “journalism”—is biased,<br />

disingenuous, and/or mean-spirited.<br />

It’s a display of petulance that puts many of us in<br />

the odd position of siding with Fox News on<br />

something; this, when Fox News and the GOP<br />

have spent the last decade or two propping each<br />

other up with bad faith and worse rhetoric.<br />

Trump is the first Republican candidate to<br />

antagonize Fox News , creating a major break in<br />

this lucrative arrangement.
