Liberal media outlets will host six of the nine 2016 GOP presidential debates that the Republican National Committee (RNC) will sanction.
On Friday, the RNC announced the nine sanctioned debates from August 2015 through March 1, 2016 with three more that are pending. Though there is a pending Conservative Media Debate, conservative new media outlets and talk radio did not receive a sanctioned debate. RNC Communications Director Sean Spicer has previously said that conservative media outlets can often hold Republican candidates more to account than mainstream media outlets.
Fox News outlets will host three of the sanctioned debates while CNN, CNBC, NBC/Telemundo, ABC, and CBS will host the others. Left-wing MSNBC will not host a debate like in previous cycles. Given Rupert Murdochs favorable comments about potential candidates Jeb Bush and Chris Christie, conservatives may wonder how critical of establishment Republican candidates Fox News will be in the debates.

This was done to make Romney/Bush the Bishop and King
to replace the Moslem Tyrant.
ENOUGH. Conservatives must pledge to protect the
Constitution and fight the GOP.
The Stupid Party lives
With 23 candidates or whatever, each one will get about 5 minutes total in the early debates. I don’t expect + or - value from them.
We should however be very careful to look for clues from people like Journ-0-list Stephanopolus who telegraphed the “war on women” assault back in Jan 2012. Most Republicans missed or ignored it but it could have been valuable intelligence. The Journ-0-lists will be trying to get our candidate on record for later campaign negative adverts.
Time for a Conservative Party.
Time for The GOP to go the way of The Whigs.
long past time!
they should get 0 debates
dumbasses
Cruz should refuse to appear, and schedule his OWN debates
Assuming he wins the nomination, he's gonna face the journ-0-lists eventually in the fall. I'd say take the batting practice when it's available.
I really don’t care what the GOP does. Its a lost cause.
Better not
I have generally resisted such an idea, but it’s becoming more clear with each passing day that a third party isn’t the right idea either, but a full-on revolution where we kill all the muslims and communists is the right thing to do.
Remember what these bastards pulled in Mississippi???
If we don’t get a conservative NOMINATED AND ELECTED, I am burning my GOP Card and going third party. And I have had it with that little pansy Rinse Priebus. Where the hell did they dredge that wussie up from in the first place?
Hear that Rinse??? Are you out there you stinking little wussy??!! I hope he reads this forum.
Why not. The RNC is a wing of the dummycrats.
Actually, given the intelligence of Ted Cruz and his excellent debating ability coupled with his principled conservative issue positions, I think this schedule, EVEN WITH, the Left-Wing press moderating favors him.
How can we find out who the best Republican presidential nominee and, we hope, the next president would be unless all the Republican candidates are tested against the inanities, arrogance, and contemptuousness that the liberal media has toward Republicans?
For example, any Republican debater who answers the question, ‘’What is you favorite kind of pizza?’’ — as liberal debate monitors have asked in the past — with an actual kind of pizza should not be the Republican presidential nominee.
Americans want serious answers to serious questions — not stupid Republican answers to stupid MSM questions.
Every presidential candidate is supposed to have a message that reflects his or her intentions for improving our county. If there is not a single Republican debater during the 2016 race who can give gracious or humorous answers that can deflect stupid liberal questions and still stay on message will not be a good Republican nominee or president.
Also, any Republican candidate who uses his or her few debating minutes to attack other Republican candidates would also not make a good nominee or president.
We need a Republican presidential nominee who can rise above the childish liberal media and the equally childish infighting among Republicans. The debates will show us whether such a Republican candidate exists.
He doesn't need to face them BEFORE the nomination.
These are REPUBLICAN primaries and debates.
Did Democrats in 2008 debate before Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, or Mark Levin?
There is no need for any Republican contender to debate, or even give an interview to, to a hostile leftist in the Leftist Media prior to the nomination.
No, it doesn't. All it does is allow the media to portray him as a mean-old extremist while the establishment choices get glowing reviews.
These debates are nothing but dog-and-pony shows. All GOP candidates should avoid any debates moderated by leftists.
