I hear people talking about how Newt will destroy Obama in the Debates. What makes averyone so certain that Obama will agree to debates? Even if he does, they will make sure the formats are structured in such a way that favors him.
I say media because in the thread, it mentions left-wing tv. Other than FNN, what tv channel isn’t left-wing? Why haven’t any of those you mention hosted a debate? What channel would it be on?
19 January CNN 8:00 Eastern GA
23 January NBC 9:00 Eastern FL
26 January CNN tba FL
22 February CNN 8:00 Eastern AZ
1 March CNN 8:00 Eastern GA
5 March NBC tba CA
19 March PBS 9:00 Eastern OR
I wouldn't mind it so much if there was turnabout fairplay and conservatives could moderate the Democrat debates. I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for that or for Hell to freeze over.
He deserves the Presidency for that gift alone.
The stupid party is stuck on stupid.
The campaign issues are framed by the Left. The assumption is made that THESE are the top issues because liberal fa**ots at anchor desks talk about them.
WHY!!???!!...... because republicans and democrats are the same animal.... the conservatives are considered an anomoly that must be first placated then eradicated.... time to eradicate the squishy moderates from the party, or leave it altogether... choice is yours to make ( I have already made mine, and this election is the breaking point )
It would be on Fox. The reason no one has ever thought to do that?
1. You would get to many viewers both republican and democrat
2. The TV stations think there should be a monopoly on the coverage.
3. The networks take themselves to serously to let “entertainers” do the work of professionals.
4. The Networks think they need to have politically objective hosts (which they fail at)
5. They are not smart enough to think of it!!!! Having a died in the wool conservative moderate a debate, especially someone famous and followed, would bring the largest viewing crowd ever and some from the left to watch.
6. The GOP and the candidates are “above” that sort of thing.
Entertainment and sensationalism sells commercials
duh
OPEN TPWN HALL meetings, broadcast by the local TV station- with a draw for which network would fill that job.
Questions from the audience—& other sources.
Ordinary citizens—even the local high school class president of head of the local high school student council could be the moderator.
Thank you.
Having watched some of the highlights of the recent debates, it’s clear to me the reason why Newt is doing well is that he’s addressing the moderator not as a moderator but as some liberal that he’s debating with.
He doesn’t answer the questions, he challenges the questions and the premise of those questions. Which is why he’s doing so well.
I agree, I have also gotten several local radio stations to change their hourly news providers. it always struck me as funny listening to Rush etc rip the mainstream media then at the top of the hour the radio station plays the same BS news updates from CNN ABC NBC etc.
