I don't need liberal Howard Kurtz, formerly of the Washington Post, telling me or you why we criticize his network's handling of the Republican debate. He's on their payroll. I am not. His comments are self-serving. I've explained in plain English my assessment on my own radio show and elsewhere. And I am not a Trump supporter as I've not declared for anyone. But I have been a Fox supporter. Nor is this about what Democrats or liberal news outlets would say or do. Argument by innuendo and distraction is a typical but flawed tactic. Kurtz doesn't know me or my audience. He's flailing and projecting.

This is about dumbing down the debate, turning it into a spectacle to promote Megyn Kelly, the moderators hogging limited time that should have been available to the candidates, flawed opposition research in one case taken completely out of context, etc. This was not to be the Fox debate but the first REPUBLICAN PARTY sanctioned debate. We Republicans are trying to decide who to support in the primaries through this process. Fox was given an opportunity to moderate the first debate. It wasn't to be "the Fox debate." Meanwhile, they've been relentlessly touting their ratings to the public and advertisers from the debate because that was their objective. Well, cable ratings be damned. Their corporate objectives are not our objectives. We, the people, learned next to nothing. These are serious times and they perverted the format. Of course the New York Times and CNN praised them.

The fact that Kurtz and others are circling the wagons is more of the same. We are owed an apology, not dishonest, sanctimonious, and self-serving lectures from the paid staff through Fox's program schedule. This process belongs to us not corporate news outlets and their hosts. The GOP needs to find new ways to conduct their debates so this doesn't happen again.

Negotiations with Putin will not be held on a stage with moderators challenging the terms and the nation watching.

Hah; excellent point...

What you said.

Megyn Kelly is nothing compared to what the Clinton organized crime family is eventually going to be throwing the way of the eventual nominee!

The democrats are NOT going to want to open that box with The Donald.

I Gua. ran. tee!

If a Republican presidential candidate can’t handle tough questions from Megyn Kelly, how are they going to deal with Putin and the Iranian Ayatollahs?
