"CNN seems to be a more appropriate host."
At least any pretenses that the media is unbiased are gone.

Oh boy...

how would the media react if the republican candidates refused to participate in debates hosted by the other networks?

Ayone who considers themselves worthy of public office, much less the high office of POTUS, should have no qualms about participating in a forum that might be less than sympathetic to their viewpoints.
The fact that all of these so-called dem hopefuls don't even have that much guts makes it crystal clear that absolutely none of them are suitable.
We don't need cowards in the White House.

At least any pretenses that the media is unbiased are gone. In spite of 9/11 Republicans/conservative/Christians should have demanded Mrs. Clinton come up on the myriad felony charges with made the tip of the iceberg of her criminal career.
Instead when the MSM told us Americans were returning back their churches we just felt so safe and secure from the evil OUTSIDE the USA!!
"SUCKERS!!!" laughed the charlatans.

Fox would have put the candidates at a serious disadvantage: they would have had questions from both liberals and conservatives. How dare they? Think of it like this: Now Fox can show reruns of “Gilligan’s Island” and get higher ratings than they otherwise would have received by televising the Democrats’ “debate”.

Good. Much less exposure to spout their socialist agendas. Refusing to appear on the most popular cable news network is political suicide if you ask me. Meanwhile, the Republican candidates can take the opportunity to reveal their higher standards.

FoxNews should develop a whole series of ads and put them on every video website:
Topic: What questions are they afraid FoxNews might ask of them?
Perhaps this one: [specific hard question the other media outlets would not dare ask -- followed by a obvious period of dead silence]

If Republicans did this... the screaming would never stop. Not a peep from the other networks either... amazing, isn't it. If you still don't believe in the DBM/DNC cabal... there is no hope for you.

“We don’t need cowards in the White House...”
Because we have plenty of them in the current House and Senate, that’s for sure!
What a bunch of LOSERS the ‘Rat candidates are. All empty suits with the exception of ‘The Beast’ who is pure evil, through and through.

Does this mean that the other news networks are the opposite of Fox News? They don’t want to answer the “rabid Republican” questions from Fox. We want softball questions from the left!!! (and we want to know them in advance)

Both of these people really don’t want any debates.
Obama is afraid of just mouthing mushy platitudes and becoming “mortal” by having to give a “substantial” answer. And Hitlery is dumber than a box of rocks when having to think on her feet and not get the questions “leaked” to her ahead of time.
To: PajamaTruthMafia
When Clinton stated she would participate in the Fox “Debates” before she stated she would not, I thought it was a lie as this woman won’t “Debate” period.
She will participate only in carefully scripted events choreographed to her favor, therefore if she states she will participate in a “Debate” at any other forum, that too is another bald face lie.

This is easy. Reps run ads all over the country telling the folks that Dems are too scared and chicken to debate in a fair, non-liberal setting. Here you are people, they say they want to run your country and deal with US enemies, but are too scared to face their opponents for a debate.
The wrong people run the Rep Party; we need people with guts to stand up tall.

Hillary would oppose any venue that would not allow her to receive the questions in advance or submit her own questions.
She is not going to open herself up to answering any unscripted questions, if she can get out of doing so.

Everything that Obama, Edwards and the Moveon crowd are doing to push Clinton to the left and to force a protracted primary campaign is good for the GOP for the general election.
Let them tear each other apart for months and months. This is the last thing that the Clinton people wanted. She may get the nomination but it won’t be worth much because she’ll never be able to reclaim the center.

CNN is far more imperfect than Fox.
Pubbies should avoid CNN. This needs to be answered.
To: PajamaTruthMafia
Barak Obama the frightened. He, Hillary Clinton and Edwards are terrified their views (or lack of) will be exposed. They are like scared rabbits and their contrived excuses are transparent. Leaders they are not. This should be a major story but how convenient the focus on Imus.
