1. None of the the candidates want to be in any debate unless they think they can steamroll their opponents.

2. Any debate exposes the candidate to possibly damaging mistakes. Do as few debates as possible.

3. They are gunning for FoxNews and even though the debates are run in an ordinary way and not any different from a CBS or NBC debate, the candidates can get a shot off at Fox and avoid a debate they do not want to go to anyway.

4. If anyone is paying attention, should the Democrats come to power the "Fairness" doctrine will return to be ruthlessly applied to talk radio and FoxNews or anything else they can set their cloven hooves on.

If anyone is paying attention, should the Democrats come to power the "Fairness" doctrine will return to be ruthlessly applied to talk radio and FoxNews or anything else they can set their cloven hooves on.

The Fairness Doctrine is definitely something nobody wants, but honestly, the toothpaste is already out on the tube with this issue. They could bring back the FD, and the internet and Sarellite radio are still viable options. The dems want to marginalize FNC as much as possible and discredit them the way they did back in the 90's. Remember when FNC could never get an interview with the Clintons, but CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC always seemed to manage to do that.
