I do find it funny that we wanted fox because they are conservative after last round of MSM. Maybe in order to be happy, we need to do debates with people and now t networks. Have mark, hannity and rush do a debate. I thought except for the second question to trump, the questions were better then other debates.

The mainstream networks have clearly shown they’ve ignored the meaning of what a debate is and chosen to run circus shows instead.....

We wanted FNC because we naively expected something different from what we had had shoved down our thoats in past election cycles by other journalism outlets.

Fox betrayed the confidence of the people who predominate in their own audience. But, there is a way for them to reverse that judgement. All they need do is for FNC or any other journalism outlet to put proportionately as much pressure on Hillary Clinton as FNC put on Trump.

By “proportionate,” I do not mean, “the same.” By “proportionate” I mean in proportion to the number and seriousness of the transgressions with which Hillary is credibly associated divided by the number and seriousness of the credible charges against Trump. IOW, if FNC had been truly fair and balanced, and if Trump and Clinton were onstage and FNC attacked Trump the way they did last Thursday, fairness would demand that FNC grill Hillary for an entire day on Servergate, Foundationgate, Benghazi, her role in suppressing “bimbo eruptions,” Travelgate, FBI Filegate, and enough other stink-to-high-heaven scandals to fill a handwritten page merely to name them all.

And yet we all fully know that until and unless Bernie Sanders or someone else attains enough critical mass to drive Hillary from the race the way Gene McCarthy drove LBJ from the race in 1968, Hillary will not get any more of a grilling from any news outlet than, say, Ben Carson got on Thursday. It is in that context that the FNC decision to launch an unremitting attack on Trump in particular and the entire field of Republican candidates itself stinks to high heaven.
