The first Fox debate was worse than any I recall on any other network in previous election years. The moderators all grinning like fools and asking many inane questions. Pretty bad when it made me long for the days when Russert, Jennings, Rather, Brokaw, and all moderated.
Fox made the circus.
I’ll never forgive that very first “raise your hand if” question Bret Baier asked. After nearly 7 years of Obama that debate was a huge milestone in selecting a new president. Right off the bat Bayer injects himself into the process in a blatant attempt to isolate Trump. That question was a pure power play (I’m the teacher, you are the students, raise your hand answer my question). Totally inappropriate. Thankfully that type of question has been banned.
CNN four years ago and CNBC this cycle were hideous. Not even close to FNC this past Fall.
