I watched this debate on C-Span,and it's very easy to tune Fox out,what with Free Republic(which I am turning ALL my 9 siblings and assorted other family and friends on to:)),and the fact that Fox shows reruns all night(my prime viewing time),and stupid stuff like Greta and O'Really suck up so much time that could be devoted to hard news. Sometimes Fox has been so tabloid-ish.
I have been doing the same thing during a big event more and more. But I must admit I have to quickly turn the channel when they begin to allow callers.
