Fair and Balanced Revealed?

Ezra Klein's excellent analysis of the state of the GOP includes this revealing nugget about Trump and Fox News:

The first Republican debate featured Fox News — arguably the single most powerful actor in the modern Republican Party — trying to cut Trump's candidacy to shreds. The harsh questioning, which touched on everything from his past heterodoxies to his friendship with Hillary Clinton to his misogyny, kicked off a feud between Fox News and Trump that continues to this day.

The post-debate focus has always been on Megyn Kelly's hemoglobin count. But completely overlooked has been the justification for Trump's anger with her for the provocative and unfair treatment as moderator. Klein suggests he had a point.
