Fox News thinks it can do a better job hosting a presidential debate than CNBC. Staffers for Fox News and its sibling channel Fox Business openly criticized the way CNBC handled Wednesday night's Republican debate on Twitter. Fox Business is hosting the next GOP debate on Nov. 10.
Fox Business anchor Neil Cavuto sent out this tweet as the CNBC debate was winding down.

Fox really, really, really needs to get their **** together.
I used to constantly watch the network. Fox News. Fox Business. It was my number one network.
All of that changed. When the Fox moderator went after Donald Trump during the first Fox debate, I was disgusted.
I turned off the network. And I never watched again. I am still Fox-free.
Fox what happened?
And what is still happening. This is not the Fox I once knew.
I am however liking MSNBC in the morning (with Joe Scarborough) more every time I watch.
The network the rest of the day is simply unwatchable, but it seems to be the best out there, for the morning news show.
Fox. Get your act together.
being Fox Free is not a badge of honor.
It is for me.
I will not watch the network. I am finished. Completely.
I do however badly need something to replace Fox during weekends.
Or, maybe I will just go outside... :D
(not kidding about that, at all)
The American voters should be the ones who submit the questions to the candidates and the perspective candidate should be given the time needed to answer the question(s).
Stop the gotcha journalist game (for ratings and money) and let the election process for President of the United States of America proceed with voter input, not journalist who only view the debate as a way to promote their ideologies and create ratings and money for their respective news outlets.
CNBC debate, the American voter was the loser, because, they never had their questions asked of the candidate and was not allowed to have their questions and concerns answered by the candidates.
No more journalist hosting debates. Go directly to the American voter and let them decide which questions and concerns are address with each candidate.
I switched over to Fox Business. I like Stuart Varney, Neil Cavuto, and Lou Dobbs. There’s some woman named Kennedy that I have to turn off. She thinks she’s too clever by half.......she’s not.
U.S. journalists are bad.
Foreign journalists are worse.
Foreign journalists should not be moderating our debates.
Rinse Preebus needs to dump Gerard Baker immediately and find an appropriate replacement.
I’m hoping Charles Paine will be a moderator
Yikes. I’ve never before seen that galoot, but he’s certainly smitten with the o-bah-ma.
I agree, they were both awful, but CNBC didn’t just pick on Trump.

I believe that Megyn Kelley and Bret Baier are American citizens. In the first debate they were just as bad as the CNBC moderators. Considering that, I don’t think citizenship must be a criterion. It would be nice to have intelligent patriots doing the job, though. Cruz and Hannity discussed a debate moderated by him, Levin, and Rush. That would be informative (but way above the I.Q.s of most TV viewers).
Priebus needs to get the message that we’ve had enough with the prior free-for-alls. He needs to do his job even if it means fewer viewers and less kick-backs to line his own pockets.
He mentioned that the CNBC debate was a “crap sandwich” on Fox last night. He said he was “pissed off”. How frickin’ stupid can the man be? He knows the character of the people in the liberal media. Can’t we have a thoughtful, dignified debate for a change instead of a revenue-generating Jerry Springer-esque spectacle? He knows better. I’m sick of the crap weasel.
What? Guess you don't have a taste for broad sarcasm. The whole clip was making fun of our self-proclaimed savior-in-chief, not lauding him.
Republican party is looking more and more like timid little mice, except for Cruz, Trump and maybe Carson. Fox is looking more and more like CNN, MSM etc.Things are upside down in this world.
What happened to real debate, for example: Debate about our great Country allowing babies to be slaughtered and sold for profit; Or, how about Isis, the economy, Libya, the Veterans, etc etc,...things that really matter.
The debates have become a three ring circus, starting with Megyn Kelly, Bret and Chris-—all three of them are to blame. So unprofessional. It was truly sickening to watch the Fox debate that night. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing. As you can see, I still haven’t gotten over the shock. But, I imagine it is a sign of the times to come, so better buckle up for the ride.
As a side note, Newsmax Tv is not too bad; I watch it when the blonde bimbo comes on Fox at 9pm. Sometimes it is so good, I forget to change the channel back to Fox at 10pm for Hannity.
It's gone and so are the viewers that are smart enough not to trust you.
Stay safe my friend
Whether Baker’s Obama clip is a sarcastic British joke making fun of Americans or truly Obama worship, FOREIGNERS WHO CAN’T VOTE should NOT be moderating our debates.
Dear FAUX News: Don’t trust or believe you any more. We’re through. You broke our trust. Bad for you.
Certainly didn't stop a huge number from voting last time, and even more in the next election! They are a large part of Hillary's "base" and are counted on to bring home the swing states. Meanwhile, Reince Pribus and the GoPee are busy planning cocktail parties, tee times and Country Club Retreats to be concerned.
FoxNews was as left-wing as CNBC
Unless he votes Democrat, then it is ok.
