How important is FOX to the GOP? Their reaction to Trumps comments on Megyn tell much
Hand-Wringing in G.O.P. After Donald Trumps Remarks on Megyn Kelly
Donald J. Trumps suggestion that a Fox News journalist had questioned him forcefully at the Republican presidential debate because she was menstruating cost him a speaking slot Saturday night at an influential gathering of conservatives in Atlanta. It also raised new questions about how much longer Republican Party leaders would have to contend with Mr. Trumps disruptive presence in the primary field.
Continuing his complaints about Megyn Kelly, one of the moderators of the debate, in an interview on CNN Friday night, Mr. Trump said, You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever. The remark prompted Erick Erickson, the leader of RedState, the conservative group, to disinvite him.
If your standard-bearer has to resort to that, Mr. Erickson told hundreds of conservative activists in a packed Atlanta hotel ballroom on Saturday, we need a new standard-bearer.

Now we all know that what he said is misogynistic, but the GOP generally falls in that category anyway with all the efforts to kill plant parenthood and other actions they take. So the fact that they are upset about this, shows that FOX is too valuable to the GOP and their efforts to kill the government for which they want to use to rob civil liberties from non-whites and non-males.
