Trump: Fox News Does Me No Favors

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said that CNN and MSNBC’s Morning Joe have treated him fairly, but that Fox News Channel continues to give him the “worst treatment.” Trump famously sat out a Fox News debate after a run-in with the network over The Kelly File host Megyn Kelly, whose tough questions as moderator of an earlier debate rankled the candidate, who said they were unfair. Fox stood by Kelly. Trump also said that Fox News chairman Roger Ailes continued to be a friend, but “doesn’t” do him any favors. “Roger Ailes and I like each other, but he doesn’t do anything for me,” Trump said. “That I can tell you. He certainly doesn’t do anything. In one way, he’s very professional, he won’t lift his finger to help me. Roger Ailes will not lift his finger to help me. Which is fine, I mean he’s a professional and maybe that’s the way it’s supposed to be, but I get treated very badly by Fox.” But asked if he thought Fox was supporting his challenger, Trump did not hesitate: “They’re in love with [Sen Marco] Rubio [R-FL]. Why, I have no idea, but they are in love with Rubio.”
