Donald Trump today said ‘I’m not playing ball with this network.’ That’s a historic moment. And it’s gonna be interesting to see where the real power is. Trump says he doesn’t need Fox News. I think Fox News probably has something else to say about that … You’ve made this happen, you’ve caused a crisis upstairs here!” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4195476/michael-moore-megyn-kelly-donald-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4195476/michael-moore-megyn-kelly-donald-trump/"},"headline":"Watch Michael Moore Get Sympathetic With Fox News and Megyn Kelly Over Trump","datePublished":"2016-01-27T13:11:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:56:25.531Z","description":"Kelly agreed Trump should have nothing to fear, calls herself 'a pussycat'","url":"https://time.com/4195476/michael-moore-megyn-kelly-donald-trump/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election topic","Flint"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt766c75b08f7aee22/69887ab30a4a22d1069c8130/michael-moore-megyn-kelly.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt766c75b08f7aee22/69887ab30a4a22d1069c8130/michael-moore-megyn-kelly.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"michael-moore-megyn-kelly","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4195476/michael-moore-megyn-kelly-donald-trump/","name":"Watch Michael Moore Get Sympathetic With Fox News and Megyn Kelly Over Trump"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME Raw: Trump Says Megyn Kelly is Biased Against Him","description":"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/EykKlFxH/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-01-27T13:55:24.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/EykKlFxH.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4195476/michael-moore-megyn-kelly-donald-trump/","duration":"PT11S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4195476/michael-moore-megyn-kelly-donald-trump/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
