MARK LEVIN: FOX NEWS, MEGYN KELLY ‘HOSTED A NATIONAL ENQUIRER DEBATE, NOT A REPUBLICAN DEBATE
Breitbart ^ | 08/09/2015 | Robert Wilde

Posted on 08/10/2015 8:18:25 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Lawyer, constitutional scholar, best selling author, and conservative talk radio host Mark Levin, in an interview on the Breitbart News Saturday radio program, expressed outrage at the Thursday night GOP presidential debate hosted by Fox News.

Levin asserted, “I think that we were all duped. The fact of the matter is that this was a ratings gambit.”

Levin spoke to the program’s host, Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon on the phone, while riding a train to a book signing event in Huntington, Long Island for his latest best seller, Plunder and Deceit: Big Government’s Exploitation of Young People and the Future.

Levin claims that “We the people” were overlooked in the debate, and the event became a media spectacle with more emphasis on the show’s moderators than on discussing the important issues that face America. “Even today, it’s all about who has Megyn Kelly’s back. We the people, this is our process. We don’t 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 Kelly”s “question two,” accusing Donald Trump of making inappropriate comments to Rosie O’Donnell and others, “was outrageous.” Levin suggested that Fox went to great lengths to engage in “oppositional research” on Mr. Trump.

“This isn’t a matter of who I support but a matter of basic fairness and what a debate is to be like,” he clarified.

Seriously?

You are defending the Harpy’s overtone and specious claim of an inter-exchange synthetically manufactured in her vacuous heart, so no woman would suffer certain “indignities”?

Why, that’s just plain Sexist and borders on Misogyny. Sexism is wrong and you know it but, being wrong is for women....

(sounded funny when I thought of it...)

Faux News is full of failed libs who couldn’t make it in the lamestream media, so they fled to Faux and changed their affiliation...Gutfeld, Whoraldo, Kelly, Brit Hume, etc...

Trump never said “Get on your knees”. They paraphrased what happened, remove content and created a whole new context. Here is the exchange 23 seconds:

That's it? That's all he said.

It is stunning what Fox has become.

Thanks for the link.

The nature of some of the questions were designed to single out Trump and make him uncomfortable and defensive right off. No one asked Jeb Bush about things he said about women. No one asked Ben Carson about bankruptcies.

What it was I don't know. It wasn't a debate that's for sure. In a debate a common issue is presented and parties present their arguments for and against it.

It wasn't a forum because in a forum each candidate is allowed time to present their position on issues (uninterrupted).

Whatever it was intended to be it did not represent the apex of the journalistic profession (however low that may be right now).

I heard it. Mark was great as usual. BTW, Glenn is a Cruz fan.

Let’s go back to the days when moderators asked questions And did not interject themselves.

Get the guy who did the NH debate to do ALL the debates.

Here’s a question. What position would Mark Levin fill in a Trump/Cruz administration?

Thanks
Did Levin agree with hundreds of thousands that Megyn was unprofessional and out to get Trump....

..or did he agree with Beck that Trump is a lowdown rat....( actually Beck says much worse)

I’m honestly ashamed at Beck’s tone lately.....He must truly hate Trump.

My experience has shown that it is best to not even interview or discuss anything with the US MSM. Much better to use social Media to get your message and info direct to the people.

Megyn is secretly whining into her bathroom mirror “I Coulda Been a Contender”!
