How badly biased will Fox debate questions be? (Vanity)

Posted on 08/06/2015 12:37:53 PM PDT by Mount Athos

Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace and Bret Baier will be asking questions with only 60 seconds for each to respond.

Hosts can ask each candidate very different questions. They can really throw the debate by asking hostile or leftist-perspective questions to those they do not like.

A foreshadowing of this might be seen in Kelly's recent interview of Cruz. Kelly raised the subject of Trump, and in response Cruz said something kind about his immigration position.

Kelly actually said "if you like him so much why don't you drop out and allow him to run".

She only asked one substantive policy question in an interview that lasted longer than the time Cruz will have in the debate. It was from a far left perspective about republicans supposedly wanting to curtail "women's healthcare" in the context of PP's human body part trafficking. She let Elizabeth Warren do the talking by playing her speech and asking Cruz to respond.

Murdoch has openly ridiculed Trump and even told his news exec to reduce coverage of his campaign.

Murdoch purged nearly everyone concerned with the immigration issue from Fox.

He even tweeted the big leftist whopper that illegal immigrants have lower crime rates than native born citizens.

It turns out that illegals actually have a crime rate 4 times greater than their representation in the population, even after immigration prosecutions are removed from consideration.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/07/illegal-immigrants-accounted-for-nearly-37-percent-of-federal-sentences-in-fy-2014/

(Illegals are estimated at 3.5% of the population, but account for 13.6 percent of all fed offenders sentenced in FY14 when all immigration prosecutions are removed)

Will the questions of candidates asked at the debate show gross bias to support those they like and smear those they don't?

Of course they will. And Megyn will be dishing poison as hard and fast as she can shine her big bright smile.

It's "how it's done."

I have a feeling a lot of freepers are going to be enraged tomorrow. Time constraints, stupid questions,etc. I think for the sake of my physical and mental health, I need to skip it.

I’ll watch.

The debate isn’t likely to change my mind. Trump is still the only candidate talking about jobs and trade policy.

But I think it’s going to be entertaining, because the press will come with gotcha questions and I think Trump is going to get his agenda out regardless of the press questions.

I think the Fox agenda has changed for this “Debate”. It will no longer be a chance for the candidates to show off their knowledge and deftness with fast and good answers, now it is about knocking off Trump. Making him unpalatable to voters and clearing the field for the ‘acceptable’ candidates. The GOPe and some others feel the same about him as they do by folks like me. They want our money and votes but not our opinions.
In my case. they no longer get money and the votes are in jeopardy.

Attacking stupid and biased questions and questioners will go a long way with the very disgruntled Right.

They hate Cruz They hated Cruz long before Trump came on the scene. Why? because Cruz is A “TRUE” REAGAN CONSERVATIVE.

Kelly is nasty for sure, but Wallace is just as bad.

In any case, I think Trump HOPES the mods come after him. It will give him the opportunity to return their fire. To the cheers of everyone NOT in the Media.

Kelly buys into her press clippings. They go too far here, and they will start shedding viewers. Right now, they are the only PERCEIVED alternative to Official State Media.

They don’t think they are part of the problem. (No single raindrop blames itself for the flood, after all.)

Going after Trump and Cruz will be akin to going after Patton’s Third Army with a six shooter.

Mr. Trump, why haven't you added trans-gender bathrooms to your hotels, casinos, and golf courses?

She's absolutely gunning for Cruz. All of faux news hates him. Trump however has thrown them into a state of appaplexia, which is a good thing because Faux is forced to battle Trump while Cruz smiles and defends the Donald. Faux is so screwed. Love it.😄

I don’t think FNC would agree with you.

DT used to be a regular commentator on Fox and Friends.


DT?? What the heck is that? As I recall DTs is what you get going through alcohol withdrawal.

I’m recording it. I’ll be curious to see how accurate the subtitles (closed captioning) will be. In real time, they probably won’t have time to mess with it much, but I’ll bet they have some edits ready ahead of time.

Since this is a GOP debate, I expect their questions to be about the differences between each of them.

Not their differences with Obama & Hillary.

Those questions could cause some tense moments.

Yeb, Do you want to apologize to Donald Trump?
