After Frank Luntz's made his opinion on Trump's performance suggesting "tonight his act wore thin," conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh stood up for Trump, and instead went after Fox News' performance. "I have never seen this kind of public backlash against Fox News personalities since the network launched in 1997," the radio legend stated. Even Bloomberg Politics went after Fox News host Megyn Kelly for her questioning comparing it to "something Rachel Maddow would ask." Bloomberg reported : A few hours before Thursday's Fox News debate, a friend of Donald Trump's confided to me that Trump was nervous. Not about the competition—he could handle them. No, Trump worried about Fox News, and in particular, debate moderator Megyn Kelly. She'd been hammering him all week on her show, and he was certain she was out to get him. He'd canceled a Fox News appearance on Monday night, the friend said, in order to avoid her. (Trump's spokeswoman wouldn't confirm or deny this.) It turns out Trump was right.
