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.

Yes he is. Rodger is obviously not running the day to day operation at Fox. That must be Brit, Brit is (should be) in big trouble for letting BMW make Foxnews look so bad. I'm sure Rodger is on fire at Foxnews.
Well done, Windflier. :)
Dang the dude got zapppppped
My thanks to everyone who made this happen, and especially to you Lazamataz.
You did all the hard work.
Don't know if you are Pissant, but you definitely are a Pismire.
Teenage girls will now forever giggle and point you out because they will recognize you as one of the Loser TROLLs who got himself/herself/itself banned from FR "The premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web."
Overly Concerned Girlfriend will now name you forever as a TROLL that got himself/herself/itself ZOTTed from FR.
FR is more than proud to name you as a PERMANENT Member of the Blazin' Butts Club. You fully deserve this award!
Of course, since FR is a friendly forum, this FR ButtHurt form is being provided to you, so that you can fully, and in excruciating detail, explain why you were unfairly expunged from FR for being such a ButtHead.
Feel free to continue on the back of the form, and to add as many extra pages necessary to ensure that your story is fully told. The FR ButtHurt Evaluation Committee really enjoys reading the submitted forms, and will will give them the attention they deserve!
If you have any problems in reading and/or filling out the ButtHurt form, be sure to ask for help from you Buddies and/or the Staff that watches over all of you.
We do wonder how they manage to get the straitjacket on you, considering your "normal" position.
If you're thinking about "sneaking" back on FR for another round of Trolling, just remember, we will ALWAYS identify you.
To Laz: Thanks for the Zot ping. It is always good to see the BullPoop Trolls like this one eliminated from this great Conservative forum.
And now, I don't have to throwup a little in my mouth everytime I encoundered that Bum's baloney story about being a "Trump Supporter"
This is one Zot followup post I have really, really enjoyed!
Thank you, Trish. I was more than happy to be Laz’s spotter on this one. He got the zottee’s scalp :-)
Yeah late to the party. Tuning my M1A
Good Job Laz!
Lots of long time highly respected FR on your list.
Nothing like a little insult to injury.. Lol!
Late to the trollbake... sorry!!!!!!!!
I did get one in pre-zot, though, post 324...
Well since you said I could âturn it up a degree or two. I remember working maintenance in a big steel manufacturing plant many years ago, Some huckster came to town running a ponzi you buy a âshareâ then you sell 3-4-5 shares and then so on and so forth. I worked with guys that could tear apart machines the size of half a city block and put them back together even better than they were built. I am talking about some very smart mechanics and electricians. Me and another guy and electrician tried warning these guys that they were being taken, but no one beleived us they show us this stack of money they made and laugh at us. Of course eventually as they always do the pyramid collapsed and a lot of guys lost a lot of money. You know I am not sure if they hater us more when we were warning them or when the thing collapsed.
Now you know about 2-3 years later another crew came through town same con just disguise a bit different. This time we didn’t say a thing. We just stood and watched as many of the same people fell for the same con.
I think you got banned.
