Well, this is telling: According to Huffington Post media reporter Michael Calderone, Fox News has only mentioned Donald Trump's sexist "blood" comment once since Friday — while CNN has brought it up over 50 times. CNN's Brian Stelter confirmed the number, while New York's Gabriel Sherman additionally tweeted that his Fox sources "say producers have been given explicit instructions from senior executives" to keep the incriminating comments off air.
While Trump has since denied he was referring to menstruation, his comments, which are seen as sexist by many, got him booted from Erick Erickson's RedState Gathering, where he was scheduled to give the keynote address Saturday night in Atlanta. Erickson invited Kelly to attend instead.
