[Commentary] The Donald Trump media story line of the week of Oct 5 -- idle chatter about the future of his campaign -- has supplanted the Donald Trump media story line of one week ago: The much discussed Trump-Fox News Summit that the network itself announced on Sept. 24: “FOX News has held every candidate in this race to the highest journalistic standards throughout our coverage,” said the Fox News statement, in part. “We believe a candid meeting about our differences is required and that any misunderstandings can be handled without compromising those standards.”

Though the summit was supposed to take place sometime during the week of Sept 28, it didn’t go down, apparently. Michael Clemente, executive vice president of news at Fox News issued this statement: “The door is always open for Mr. Trump to meet with our senior editorial team to discuss any issues he may have with our coverage of his campaign. Mr. Trump continues to appear on Fox News and we haven’t changed a thing, so we don’t see any overwhelming need for a meeting at this time.”
