the Clinton's - honored guests at Trumps wedding
Posted on 08/08/2015 8:34:44 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Fox News is facing a backlash from conservatives after critics felt the network was biased and unfair in the manner it approached the forum for the Republican presidential candidates' debate Thursday, and namely, Donald Trump.
According to Media Equalizer, tens of thousands of observers swamped social media with criticism of Fox and the moderators, with some comments attracting more than 2,000 "likes."
"This was shameful. You and Fox News did not treat the candidates fairly. You tried to make Donald J. Trump look foolish. All you did was make Fox News look foolish."
"Donald J. Trump still has my vote," said one post which appeared on the network's Facebook page and received over 2,200 "likes" just two hours after it was posted.
Another post representative of the sentiment was addressed to Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly and Fox News. It said the two "should be ashamed of themselves for their unfair demeanor towards Donald Trump. They apparently had their own agenda. Trump still did his thing though! #Trump2016"
"Megyn, you're an embarrassment to journalism. I wanted to watch a presidential debate, not a hit job by you and Fox," another observer wrote.
Twitter was also flooded with criticism of Kelly and Fox.
"Tonight's debate loser: Fox News," said one post.
"#GOPDebate NOT A DEBATE! It's @FoxNews vs @realDonaldTrump! What a disgrace! @magynkelly & @BretBaier shameful! #tcot," said another.
"WTF @FoxNews ???????? THIS DEBATE IS A SETUP TO SLAM EVERYBODY EXCEPT JEB BUSH. YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED AT THIS JOURNALISTIC DISHONESTY," yet another poster commented.
For his part, Trump lashed out at Kelly on his Twitter page.

Thanks ! you and I know that the news media is our mortal enemy and the enemy of freedom
I don’t think many other people realize that though
It is the job of the candidates to vet each other. It is the job of the moderators to provide a neutral forum for them to do so.
If you want to engage the candidates during the debates, then get on the stage and run for President yourselves.
Otherwise, just facilitate the discussion between the candidates and stay out of the conversation. You haven't earned the right to participate in the discussion, especially.from the safety of behind the desk.

So - are you unfamiliar of the game the Clinton's played to get him elected? Do you not remember their shill, Ross Perot - who ran third party after not winning the rep. primary, all his bluster and pretense of being a conservative...and how he drew off enough republican votes to get Bill elected (even then, Bill got less than 50%. He would have lost big, without the shill - who afterwards got some new, lucrative gov't contracts.
If you listened closely, Trump admitted to buying political favors by contributing big money to politicians and then expecting and GETTING favors - even from Hillary.
And he has donated big to dems, including Hilliary - whom he has also supported in the past.
So, is it that you don't remember that third party game plan, or were too young to remember it now, OR - are you 'trolling"?

The word he was looking for was FANGS. Fangs.
Exactly Walker is the ESTABLISHMENT.
Look at his entire team. George Will’s own wife. LOL!
You can’t get any more inside the beltway than George Will.
You think she’s working for someone who wants to blow up the gravy train?
And Dayspring is the sleaziest person in all of politics. Walker may be have only a high school diploma but he’s the epitome of big corporate cronyism.
Probably Frank Luntz....LOL
I can just see him sitting there typing anti Trump crap with his dial meter hooked to himself.
LOL. good one
Yes it does. Ive exposed you to an honest concept that you are too blinded to see. Cruz who I wish was doing as well as Trump, is quite friendly with Trump and has defended him during hero-gate.
I am not a Trump bot, though I would prefer him hands down to Jeb or Rubio or Huckster. But the way to get rid of candidates we disagree with is not to falsely accuse them of racism, sexism, etc. Its to get to their record and accomplishments and documented policy positions. There are plenty of ways to attack Trump without your little Fox slut acting indignant on behalf of women.
Any long-time forum member knows the only way to do that, is to lie in wait for new threads to be posted, then jump in immediately to spam the thread.
The guy thinks he's engaged in some sort of righteous mission, but he's really just trolling the forum. I think he was even warned about it by JimRob recently, but he just keeps going.
We get that he doesn't like Trump, but he's going about communicating it all the wrong way. The guy is just begging for the zot.
Oh, ain’t no chance I’ll sit out. Just may not like the choices we’re saddled with. I thought I read someplace that like 3 million ‘conservatives’ sat out in ‘12. Could it have made a difference?

“It is the job of the candidates to vet each other. It is the job of the moderators to provide a neutral forum for them to do so. “
That kind of rational thought will get you in serious trouble sir!
Well said, thank you.
gotta agree with you on Luntz and his wheel spinning retards.
Scot Walker is the only one that has done anything conservative , in fact many MANY conservative laws passed in WI. Walker’s also the only one that has like Ann Coulter said he will do something to reduce LEGAL immigration too
So I’ll go Trump/Walker or Walker/Trump or if one drops out replace with Carson. fiorina is dead to me after her bashing Trump like she did and taking Megyn Kelly’s side
I also watch OANN love the Daily Ledger, Graham Ledger is AWSOME!!!!
if you think that trump and cruz are somehow allies against the establishment, then, once again, you don’t understand the thing that is donald trump.
