DONALD TRUMP DUMPS FOX NEWS TO CNN’S DELIGHT

CaptureNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles®) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is done with FOX News, and CNN couldn’t be happier.

Trump has reignited his war of words with FOX, vowing on his Twitter account that he will stay off the network for the “foreseeable future.”

Trump declared in a tweet Wednesday morning that he believes he has been treated “very unfairly” by FOX, leading him to decide to dump the network.

Earlier, FOX decided to pull Trump’s appearance on “O’Reilly Factor”  after the Republican presidential frontrunner criticized O’Reilly and Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly in tweets sent on Monday and Tuesday.

CNN, the heir apparent to FOX News, celebrated Trump’s tweet by popping champagne bottles in the newsroom.

“This means I can have more news segments with Trump and more intelligent discussions on important issues in the political campaign,” CNN anchor Don Lemon said.

CNN’S ratings have been in decline for the last few months and the cable network is hoping that more appearances by Trump would help boost its viewership.

TRUCE: MEGYN KELLY AND DONALD TRUMP BOTH GO ON A 10-DAY VACATION

imageNEW YORK, New York  (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – The word war between Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and FOX News seems to be coming to an end, thanks to  an agreement recently made between Trump and FOX News Chairman Roger Ailes.

Earlier in the week, Ailes was quoted as saying to Trump, ‘We resolve this now…or go to war.’

It all started during the first Republican presidential debate when FOX News moderator Megyn Kelly asked Trump about his past comments that were degrading to women.

On her Wednesday broadcast, Kelly announced she would be taking a vacation, starting immediately. “It’s been an interesting week,” Kelly said, adding “It’s been six months since I’ve had a vacation.”

Almost simultaneously, the Trump campaign announced that their candidate has cancelled  all his campaign and media appearances for the next 10 days.

It is highly unlikely that Kelly and Trump will be vacationing in the same resort, but it would be interesting to see — after both come back from vacation — who would have a darker tan.

 

 

 

LIKE A CRY BABY, DONALD TRUMP COMPLAINS TO CNN’S DON LEMON ABOUT FOX NEWS’ MEGYN KELLY

imageATLANTA, Georgia (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – After being battered by a female moderator during Thursday night’s GOP presidential debate, Donald Trump desperately needed to  blow off some steam with someone –  like another news anchor from  another cable news network.

Trump found his ally in CNN’s Don Lemon.  After all, he is his namesake.

In an interview with Don Lemon on “CNN Tonight,” Trump on Friday accused FOX News of asking “vicious,” unfair questions at the debate and called Kelly “overrated.” Kelly had pressed Trump about misogynistic, sexist comments in his past.

On CNN, Trump called the questions “ridiculous,” called Kelly “off-base,” and said, “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes.  Blood coming out of her wherever.”

Trump told Lemon that he didn’t know whether he’d participate in a future FOX News debate. “I didn’t think they were fair.”

Lemon volunteered to moderate the next GOP presidential debate and promised Trump he would be more fair than Kelly.

Lemon’s ratings are significantly down and so he needed a boost in viewership. He thinks that moderating the next GOP Debate will boost his and CNN’s ratings.

Lemon’s ratings suffered a setback recently when debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines  Flight 370 washed ashore in Reunion Island in the French Indian Ocean.

During CNN’s desperate search for the missing plane, Lemon had speculated that the jet may have been sucked up by a black hole or “kidnapped” by a higher power. Now that theory has gone down the drain. Or the ocean.
