In TV debates, the political competition should be presented objectively as between candidates themselves for the benefit of citizens/voters.

Media television channel "journalists" sometimes artificially elevate themselves into "contender" roles when they, as moderators, conduct themselves as alpha male "gotcha" or female "cutesy"/clever participants.

Ailes, as head of FOX, should inform them of their appropriate journalistic duties and then hold them to those standards on behalf of the importance of their duties as journalists, and a free press in a free society.

Trump fights, Fox comes crawling. Call it the art of the deal, if you will.

Trump wins. It’s what he does.

He came out and endorsed OAN yesterday and that probably scared Ailes shirtless. OAN carried his entire Town Hall with Tim Scott uninterrupted and he blew everyone's socks off too...As Trump would say "it was fantastic".

I didn't see the whole thing but my wife told me when Tim Scott introduced his mom, Trump stood up.

Oh to have (upper) class once again in the Whitehouse

I don't have much use for Fox News, which has become little more than a shilling mouthpiece for the Karl Rove wing of the GOP establishment, but Trump's decision to "boycott" Fox seemed childish and ridiculously thin-skinned on his part.

Of course, the fact that Fox executives called his bluff to boost ratings makes them even more ridiculous.

Fox News is scheduled for two more Republican primary debates and Fox Business has one. That just might have something to do with Ailes desire to meet again, recalling the first two debates drew around 24 million viewers, about four times as many as any previous primary debate. And everyone, even the Foxes, knows why those debates drew record audiences.

And Trump has a point. Why would any objective news outlet only discuss the one poll that showed a drop in support and ignore those that showed equal or greater support than before. And then the new Fox poll comes along later and shows Trump with a one point gain, Lol.

Sean Hannity is asking for questions via video concerning the 2016 Election. Here was my question I posted on Twitter:

@seanhannity #AskSean Sorry, I don’t know how to post a video. My question: Why can’t the MSM allow the people to pick their candidate?

Maybe the backlash led FOX to rethink their nonsense. I stopped watching FOX years ago.

FOX realizing the cost of lost viewers. If FOX got rid of Kelly I might reconsider being a serious viewer.

I did notice a slight change in CNN’s reporting on Trump too. That “Anna Navaro” was initially a hater of Trump, but she has suspiciously softened her tone.

Interesting. It's a shame that the GOPe pundits never speak of Obama and other Democrats the way they do Trump. Note to GOPe and GOPe pundits: 62% of GOP primary voters are pissed off at the GOPe. That includes Fox News, LOWry, etc.

Also, this morning Trump spent a long time with Alyson on CNN and even more time with Morning Joe. The interviews were pretty good interviews.

Another famous business channel had a very interesting poll. It stated that 72% of Americans believe that the US aint what it used to be.

Trump is making the establishment in DC and Manhattan irrelevant. They hate that.

I’ve watched Fox News since before the 2000 election - and nothing else, except by accident (or for the debates...I held my nose to watch CNN last week). I wouldn’t have been watching it for more than 15 years if I didn’t generally like it.

But that has now changed. I find Fox’s coverage of the Republican primaries to be HIGHLY BIASED - against Donald Trump and, to a lesser extent, Ted Cruz. Fox has become completely establishment-oriented, and is FAR from balanced.

This had better stop, or I will simply get rid of it. If I wanted what they’re giving me now, I’d have never started watching them in the first place.

Enough is enough!

And Fox viewers....WE THE PEOPLE....are to just believe the tripe the channel spews forth to help in The Donald’s return? What makes ANY of the believe we would once again turn their channel to view anything now that they have shown their true colors? Just because the wolf takes off the sheep’s costume does not indicate he is no longer a wolf. Have at them Donald...WTP do not care for them nor their ilk. There are alternatives and you, sir, know what these might be. Let the chickens stew in their own pot.
