NEW YORK — Donald Trump is boycotting Fox News Channel.

The front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination tweeted his intention after a scheduled Thursday appearance on “The O’Reilly Factor” was canceled by the cable network.

“Fox News has been treating me very unfairly & I have therefore decided that I won’t be doing any more Fox shows for the future.”

A Fox News spokesman confirmed that Trump’s tweet was in response to the cancellation with Bill O’Reilly.

“The press predictably jumped to cover his tweet, creating yet another distraction from any real issues that Mr. Trump might be questioned about,” the spokesperson said. “When coverage doesn’t go his way, he engages in personal attacks on our anchors which have grown stale and tiresome. He doesn’t seem to grasp that candidates telling journalists what to ask is not how media works in this country.”
