In its debate coverage, FoxNews recent desire to be accepted into the fraternity of leftist-leaning journalists was on full display. Having built its audience by being fair to conservatives, its anchors now seek to pivot to the left in order to satisfy their professional peers.
It is very revelatory that CNN praised Fox News for its handling of the debate.
Fox News couldnt care less what the audience or the Republican candidates thought of them. It was trying to make it in the journalistic cocktail circuit. Thats why they pummeled Trump with such personal attacks and treated all of the other candidates like enemies.
Megyn Kelly was especially partisan, her bias showing through her questioning of Trump. You can bet shell never be as tough on Hillary as she was on the Donald last night and certainly wont be asking her personal questions.
Fox News showed an arrogant contempt for its audience in its leftist bias and was, in effect, telling them that they have no other place to go.
The networks choice of who got to answer questions was just one of the many ways it showed a bias. Conservative Ted Cruz had to wait for 25 other responses before he was finally asked a question and that one was about God.
Conservative newcomer Ben Carson was ignored for so long by the FoxNews anchors that he even commented that he was wondering if he would ever get the chance to speak.
Fox News could have shown that it could be fairer than any other station. Instead its liberal bias rivaled that of George Stephanopoulos.

For the time being we have the internet, FR, Breitbart and some others. How long until our access is cut off for not being "in alignment with correct thought".
Well, maybe they set a standard for tough questioning that the other media will be pressed to follow. Conservatives should raise a mighty din over the MSM’s slapstick questions to liberal candidates, make that issue part of the campaign.
When the New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, and MSNBC praised Fox News for joining the dark side, you know they have jumped the shark. We have blocked these traitors and will drop DirecTV when our contract eires this fall. We don’t need to see any more of these phones “debates” that do nothing but promote One Worlders.
Yup - they now are going for their new viewers, the left. Do they not realize the conservatives are going to turn them off?? We do have other places to go.
Thanks!
Boycott them...permanently. Time to start teaching these jerks a lesson. It’s not hard. I saw Fox’s leanings in 2006. I gave up all cable noise channels after the midterms. And I’ve had Megyn’s number for a quite a bit. She’s a feminist, East coast, know-it-all snot.
Exactly!
Two problems regarding that so-called debate. Megyn Kelly and Rupert Murdock.Behold

The putz actually said something that is true. I need to go to church.
And none of these affairs have been a debate for a long time. They grow more and more pathetic each year.
in one debate coverage and meditation of debate fox news los all its good will from those wanting it to be a far outlet......I was not a fan of trump but the more I watch the desperate attacks on him from different people in the republican party I don’t respect the moor likely I am to become a supporter
I’d rather watch CNN. At least I know up front where they stand.
I suspect that, rather than being in the pocket of the GOPe or the RNC, they were trying to ask tough questions to avoid being seen as slaves of the Republican Party, but if the questions and the time were really as poorly and unevenly distributed among the various candidates as Morris says, then there was something wrong the the debate.
I think the Trump chumps here in Free Republic are making first class fools out of themselves.
Well said about Megyn. And she’s a homo-lovin gay marriage promoter too. I thought once upon a time I heard she was/is pro-choice but I can’t seem to find anything about that now. Wouldn’t surprise me though.
She’s a fake.
The remarks by Megyn to Walker and Cruz about their faith, rivaled Stephanopolous.
Nothing will surpass this blatant bias by Stephanopoulos:
