Anyone see Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation?
I’m not going to bash Megyn yet, because maybe Fox News has a master plan playing out like the IMF.
Pass the large popcorn, free refills.
There’s no question that lots of the complaints against Fox are justified. Setting up Trump at the very opening of the debate was a cheap trick (and one that the moderators were very proud of, if you listened to them later), but Trump could have (and should have) handled it better.
The long gap in directing questions to Cruz was telling, and the questions directed at Bush were generally not as aggressive as those going to others - they also gave Bush an inordinate amount of time to burnish his image, which (thankfully) he didn’t take very good advantage of. And the “Does God talk to you” question was a stupid formulation of what could have been a useful inquiry on the importance of religious beliefs in the candidates’ political activities.
HOWEVER, we can hardly complain about a lickspittle media that spends 6 years asking questions of Obama that never get any harsher than “How are your daughters adjusting to life in the White House” if we p!ss and moan about hard questions directed at our guys. I don’t expect any of the donkey candidates get anything near this kind of grilling when they appear on sycophantic stations like NBC and CNN for their debates, but at least we can now point out what the actual vetting of candidates should look like.
We should (without being patsies) strive toward an ideal, which in press coverage should include skepticism expressed fairly. Fox didn’t give us that as well as they should have, but I’m betting they got way closer than any of the MSM will ever get when they deal with Hillary! and the rest of the neo-socialist establishment.
Megan, you know you screwed up when the loser liberal “journalists” think you did a great job. Hate to see her having done this to herself. I guess her ego got the best of her when she rose to the top of Fox News. Vanity...the devil’s favorite weakness.
I only offer my thoughts as a conservative watching the interplay of the rest of the party.
