"Fox News Chairman & CEO Roger Ailes and Donald Trump spoke this morning and plan to have a meeting next week to discuss their differences of opinion regarding Fox's coverage of Mr. Trump's presidential campaign," a Fox News spokesperson said Thursday in a statement to TheBlaze. "Ailes will be joined by senior Fox editorial executives. Mr. Trump believes he has been treated unfairly in certain instances. FOX News has held every candidate in this race to the highest journalistic standards throughout our coverage. We believe a candid meeting about our differences is required and that any misunderstandings can be handled without compromising those standards."
Trump announced Wednesday that he was boycotting Fox News and wouldn't appear on the network "for the foreseeable future.”
Trump has expressed anger toward a number of Fox News personalities over their coverage of him and his campaign, including Megyn Kelly, Bill O’Reilly and Greta Van Susteren.
Trump and Ailes spoke by phone last month following the first Fox News Republican primary debate after Trump railed that he had been treated unfairly.
They spoke again a few weeks later after Trump went on another Twitter tirade about Kelly.
