Repeatedly picking fights with Fox News and Megan Kelly is one of the most puzzling things Donald Trump has done during this campaign. Why would he wrestle with the most dominant cable news organization, especially the network that attracts the most Republicans and Conservatives? Despite the fact that talking heads on CNN, NBC and ABC have constantly trashed Trump and everything about Trump, he never attacks or points figures at them. Lawrence O’Donnell, Chris Mathews and others at MSNBC call Trump everything under the sun yet Trump holds his fire. Why? There are four clear reasons for that strategy: There is no down-side to attacking the media, even Fox News; Trump grabs headlines from the rest of the media that hates Fox due to professional envy at their high ratings; Democrats and Independents are delighted when someone of stature like Trump attacks Fox; and Trump crowds out Ted Cruz in all the news cycles until he drops another controversial bomb. And Fox News falls for this ploy every time by complaining and whining about Trump’s attacks. Dumb. That’s why the news is Trump all day, everyday. — *H.
