Trump Will Ask Murdoch to Block Negative Ads Against Him

“Donald Trump said he will meet with media mogul Rupert Murdoch and urge him not to allow negative ads against the Republican nominee or provide airtime to his critics on Fox News in the final stretch before Election Day,” Bloomberg reports.

Said Trump: “I’m going to tell him something very simple, because I can’t talk to anybody else. Don’t put on negative commercials for 21 days. Don’t put them and don’t put on — they’re horrible people. They come and lie.”

Which looked phony.

The Fox msm network has to air ads but not the cable one. But if Murdoch wants to lose his fcc license I say please proceed and lose your license.

7. Wouldn't Fox already have sold the ad time for the next three weeks?

Wouldn't it be illegal to cancel them without legit reason?

8. Sorry, Donny, even Fox has to do the right thing if they want to stay credible.
