Despite being more overexposed than Miley, Bieber and Kim K. combined, Trump still rates like no other guest/candidate in cable news history… nobody can dispute that. But his interviews are as repetitious as your average Nickelback album, as the subject predictably rattles off the same overarching campaign themes and latest poll numbers every time. In the end, Trump creates more news as a result of his Twitter feed and comments during rallies than anything he says in a Q & A with X, Y, Z host. Suspending interviews with him isn’t the self-induced punishment it would appear at first to be.

Take the next step, Fox. It may not hurt the numbers and will send a powerful message in the process: Needlessly attack one of our own, we simply stop giving you a direct line to millions of viewers.

Going down this road may appear risky. But in using Megyn Kelly’s success sans Trump as a guide, it ain’t so unfathomable… and will punch the stalker where it hurts in the process.
