These past few election cycles, the Democrats have refused to participate in debates moderated by Fox News.

Now that these MSM sentiments have been leaked out, how can any other news outlet call themseleves fair moderators and questioners of election debates?

Exactly, I’ve been pointing this out. The final debate moderator between McCain and Obama had a pro-bama book slated to be released on Jan 20, 2009. It was in her own interest to see Barack win the presidency.

A rigged debate (and there are those who say Hillary was given the questions in advance) is a rigged election.

The 21 scandal was nothing compared to the rigging of the election.

Even if the questions posed to both candidates are the same and no one has foreknowledge of the questions, the entire focus of the debate can be driven by the slant of the questions.

Illegal immigration vs national healthcare
war on terror vs education

Did anyone ask Obama about his plan to cut our nuclear arsenal and opening our missile installations to the Russians for inspection?

McCain didn't even bring up the "Marxism" talk until the final debate. Why no ask him what Marxism means (since he knowingly said he sought out Marxist professors in college) and how his approach differs from Marxism.
