Re: Trump taps the right's anger against Fox
Funny headline! 
FOX is still #1 in cable news so the anger is not hurting them that much.
Trump is a master with using the media and it shows with what is going on right now.
There has been nothing but news about him boycotting the FOX debate.
Trump, Trump and more Trump news. Like they keep saying, he is sucking all the air of of the room! He is back in the lead in Iowa! So what ever happens he has dominated the new cycle again.
Even if the battle is against FOX!
Of course CNN and MSNBC love this little dust up.

Re: Trump taps the right's anger against Fox
I'm going against the conventional wisdom on this. I think that Trump has made a rare mistake by continuing his battle with Fox.
Trump's dominance in the polls is more than enough to keep him in the spotlight.
Just last week there were stories showing up hinting that the establishment was becoming, if not happy with, resigned to a Trump victory. He is now passing up an opportunity to make peace within the party and broaden his appeal.
By skipping the Debate and hating Fox, Trump will make his faithful delirious with glee. But, to the rest of us he just looks petulant and unstable. He gives the other candidates an opportunity to shine, if they can seize it.
Also, Trump who has never voted in a republican primary ( And Gave $50,000 to Rahm Emmanuel) feeds into the narrative that he isn't really a republican.
Anyway, we shall see how it all plays out.

Re: Trump taps the right's anger against Fox
One thing for sure without Trumip the upcoming ratings for Fox's Republican debate look to be dismal. Fox's first Republican debate drew about 25 Million viewers, the second about 10 Million and this one could easily be in the tank the way it looks.
As far a cable news viewers goes, Fox is definitely the leader in cable news but is WAYYY BEHIND in terms of viewers of non-cable news. Actually looking at year to year statistics is NOT looking good for ANY of the cable prime time shows. In that demographic for the 1 year ending in Nov 2015 all the cable news networks were down in the demo compared to November 2014, but Fox News was down the most, -14 percent (MSNBC was down -13 percent and CNN down -12 percent).

Re: Trump taps the right's anger against Fox
Fox should offer a feed of the debate to the networks so that they cover the debate rather than Trump's "event" of using veterans as stage props
