24 million viewers is a double-edged sword.

The people I'm thinking about are those like my aunt. She doesn't have a computer or Internet; so she relies on what she sees, hears or reads in the media. Like most people in these parts, my aunt has been a lifelong Democrat, but after almost 8 years of Obama, she's ready to make the switch. Her problem is, who to vote for.

This debate could have gone a long way toward swaying my aunt and those like her. Fox, in its zeal to topple Trump, blew that opportunity.

Liberal media outlets are dying because of liberal bias.

Now Fox risked shooting itself in the head (ruining it’s brand) in front of it’s biggest audience - 24 million viewers. For what? Jeb Bush? Political correctness? Egos? Was it worth it?

They would have been better off in the long run, had only 3 million viewed their socialist spaz attack they named a debate. Now, millions of independents who never watch Fox (or any news) just had their suspicions confirmed.

And now many conservatives who expected a real professional debate on important topics are done with Fox. These are people who watched Fox. The performance was so unprofessional...so radical Democrat Liberal media. CNN may have done a better job or at least not worse.

So true. I simply won’t watch Fox anymore. I go to One America News now. At least they are neutral.
