Levin asserted, I think that we were all duped. The fact of the matter is that this was a ratings gambit.
Levin claims that We the people were overlooked in the debate, and the event became a media spectacle with more emphasis on the shows moderators than on discussing the important issues that face America. Even today, its all about who has Megyn Kellys back. We the people, this is our process. We dont get that many opportunities to go through the primary process. There are only nine debates, he said.
The Great One pointed out that Fox had an opportunity to host one of these important debates, And they took advantage of us, they took advantage of the audience. Levin explained that Kellys question two, accusing Donald Trump of making inappropriate comments to Rosie ODonnell and others, was outrageous. Levin suggested that Fox went to great lengths to engage in oppositional research on Mr. Trump.
This isnt a matter of who I support but a matter of basic fairness
Levin complained that Fox sifted through 185 shows and 14 seasons of Trumps Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice to come up with a line that they had to take out of context about some lady on her knees. He didnt tell her to get on her knees, They brought it up to him. He responded to it, but not in a sexual context.
The conservative author expressed sincere disgust with Megyn Kelly for pointing to that incident as an example of misogyny. Levin said that Kelly was a lawyer, she was law review, and she should know better. He admitted that he blames Fox News management more than Kelly for the outrageous question. He said Fox turned the gathering into a National Enquirer Debate, and not a Republican Debate.

my apology I had thought that he waited to comment if I could with draw the comment I would
We have not had Fox News on our TV screen since the night of the faux “debate.” It is not that difficult to do. Let Ailes see what crawling into bed with the GOPe gets you. That big debate audience will disappear as people realize they were suckers for tuning in to this biased ambush.
I am sorry forb the comment.
Megyn Kelly really did damage to FoxNews and it will take a lot for FoxNews to repair.
Maybe she may have been told by God that she NEEDS to do some serious repenting.
Cui bono? Rupert.
George Stephanopoulos, Candy Crowley and Megyn Kelly. Worst Moderators ever.
The debates should always be about the candidates and the viewers, not the networks and definately not the Moderator.
.....”Fox had an opportunity to host one of these important debates, And they took advantage of us, they took advantage of the audience.........
Worse IMO....they used and abused ‘our’ **Presidential** Candidates... who are not chump change to be jangled like chump change in Fox’s pocket.
None of these candidates deserved to be side lined from making their best shot at talking about the issues of this country....FOX Ownership played a “reality show” without the consent of the candidates to step into their pre-set pit of vipers and then to top it off sling fists of mud.
Exactly. But people don’t want that. They want bread and circuses.
Did “we” ourselves tune in to see fireworks? We got them. Best ratings ever.
We learned nothing of substance but ‘we’ sure had fun and have occupied a few days since talking about it. And it’s different from the Kardashians how?
Kelly is a narcissist, she literally oozes. “look at me, I’m the story”, evey time she’s on the air.
I figured out who she was election night 2012. She seemed almost giddy reporting the demise of Mitt throughout the evening. I remember thinking how sad it was that there were no networks left for us on the other side.
Spanish is one of the most abrasive languages I’ve ever heard. I find it annoying just hearing it.
But thanks.
The mainstream networks have clearly shown they’ve ignored the meaning of what a debate is and chosen to run circus shows instead.....
Time for Megyn to move on to another network.
In the final analysis, she’s just another ditzy, bleached blond bimbo.
>>>Megyn Kelly really did damage to FoxNews and it will take a lot for FoxNews to repair.<<<<
I doubt if FOX wants to repair the damage - it’s evident what side they have chosen to pimp.
The Lincoln-Douglas debates were considered the greatest debates in U.S. history. It was a series of seven debates.
Thank God Stephanopoulos, Crowley and Kelly weren’t moderating those debates.
....”Kelly is a narcissist, she literally oozes. look at me, Im the story, evey time shes on the air”...
I didn’t pay too much attention to her at all....she was just another host...rather looked for who she and others were interviewing or had as guests. Until I noticed she kept steering the attention to herself at moments when she should have let the guest continue with what they were saying....this has become increasingly so IMO.
I like Brett and Greta best as they get to the facts and let their guests have their say.
And nobody remembers the names of the moderators for those debates.
.....”Spanish is one of the most abrasive languages Ive ever heard”.....
Oh I’d have to say some of the Asian languages are like fingernails on a chalkboard....I can’t hardly stand it!
Most are surrounded by millions of Spanish speaking illegals from the south. Not Asians. Spanish is very abrasive language to be forced to listen to.
Btw and most Asians learn to speak English without problem.
