Fox Says Trump Can’t Dictate Debate Moderators

By Associate Press

Fox News Channel says Donald Trump is still welcome to participate in Thursday’s Republican presidential debate, but will not be allowed to “dictate the moderators or the questions.”

Trump announced Tuesday that he will boycott the debate amid an ongoing dispute with moderator Megyn Kelly and the network.

A Fox News spokesperson says Trump’s withdrawal is “near unprecedented,” adding that giving into Trump’s demand that Kelly be replaced “violates all journalistic standards.”

Fox News is also accusing Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski of making threats against Kelly, saying the network “can’t give in” to such intimidation.
