The spotlight has been turned on and the cockroaches are a scurrying.
Fox News has been a mouthpiece of The Cheap Labor Express for years
From Pat Buchanan:
“Wednesday on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show,” conservative commentator Pat Buchanan said Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was right to boycott Thursday night’s Fox News debate.
Buchanan said, “He’s got a perfect right to drop out of the debate. They baited him, they taunted him and they disrespected him in a mock news release and he simply decided-look if that’s the way you are going to treat me go ahead have your debate and I’m not attending. I mean you got a perfect right to do that. CNBC I think has been dropped out of a debate because of the handling by the moderators. National Review has been dropped out of a debate after it launched an all out attack on Trump. And so Trump responds and says I’m not going to be in the debate. I think he’s made the right decision from his standpoint and I hope he stands by it.”
Which any media organization is free to do. Even though it's against any modicum of "Journalistic Integrity" when it's not disclosed.
And now it's been exposed.
And Fox's core business model of "Fair and Balanced"...and it's core customer base...is crumbling as I type.
But beyond even that, Fox had a responsibility to the nation and to the Republican Party to be "Fair and Balanced" in their trusted position as debate organizers and MODERATORS.
Toal fail and it will cost Fox 10's of millions of dollars over the next several years.
Ailes, Kelly and Hume will all lose their jobs within a year.
I’m really sick of these skunks.
If the other candidates (Ted) really support a wall and deportation they should skip the debate as well.

You know what”s hilarious about this whole thing? DT played his opposition like an orchestra and most of them don”t even realize it.
I went over to breitbart and looked at the story about DT skipping the debate. Now a typical above the line story at breitbart gets maybe several hundred or a couple thousand comments. Care to guess how many comments the debate story garnered? Try 42,000 plus.
I happened to be where CNN was playing over lunch. I noticed that no less than 20 minutes of the 30 minute program was about DT.
DT has sucked the air out of the room once again for at least 3-4 news cycles. And he’ll probably do it again over the weekend. And it cost him essentially nothing. His opponents can”t buy a lead story to save their souls. And one of them is going to win against the juggernaut? LOL.
Murdock sneaky like a certain politician we know about TC.
Thanks very much for the ping, Albion Wilde. HOORAY Breitbart.
I just started my 5th year of not watching FOX PROGRAMMING.
This would never have happened had Trump not made the problem of illegal immigration a mainstream topic.
best
election
ever
Don’t I remember Trump suggesting that Murdoch donate proceeds from the last debate to the vets and getting refused?
Well done Breitbart.
I don’t like the sound of this! Too many powerful news people talk out of both sides of their mouth about border issued.
BTTT!
“FoxNews: Fair and Balanced? Hah! “
Yeah, that’s almost as funny as “Conservative columnists, pundits and elected officials” actually believing in Conservatism!
There are NO elites who don't love illegals...it's slavey lite and keeps the middle class 'in line'. Murdoch's an elite... of course he loves cheap labor...
