Fox grabbed the Trump tiger by the tail----

and then let go.

Yes, he does bite.

-- Neither should viewers have expected the transparent animosity toward certain candidates shown by supposedly neutral moderators. --

Why not? I think the "gotcha game" was expected, as was favoritism, attempting to steer the outcome to favor Bush.

You don’t know what I understand.

You’re rude and combative for no reason at all.

I do know - with epistemological certainty - that you can’t help yourself.

See how understanding I am?

It is a fair and balanced network
++++
For quite some time and particularly during the Debate Fox News has been the:

Overly Fair to Jeb, Balance Can Come Later Network.

This is so obvious to so many Twitter Weenies and Emailers that they apparently flooded Fox with that theme over the last several days. Bret Baier even asked his panel if they thought Fox favored Jeb. Denials all around, of course, but you would have to be blind or never watch Fox to miss it.

Faux News is bought and paid for programming.

Owned by the Saudis who are friends and have deep relationships with the Bush family.

The treatment of all the candidates except for Bush was brash and unprofessional for a “journalist”.

I quit watching after the first two questions because I knew the circus was in town.

I am waiting on Megyn Kelly the bimbo, to apologize to the Fox “News” viewers.

Roger Ailes throws Kelly under the bus, that had to be a very hard decision. Look for Kelly to seek enployment elsewhere.

Ailes isn’t throwing Kelly under the bus because Kelly will come back and say she was just following orders.

Rupert and his sons really crapped the nest on this one. Valerie Jarrett is blackmailing the Murdoch’s over the UK tabloid phone hacking scandal and they’re in a tough position of their own making.

The Bimbo ME GYN Kelly who a week ago falsely accused Trump of Rape 2nd hand no less , took Rosie O’s side against Trump when Rosie was the one who started insults aimed at Trump.

Me GYN won’t stop and WON’T APOLOGIZE

She is a no good floozie

the fact that the candidates were not mollycoddled and swathed in conservative dress should not have been expected.

No, it was much more than that. It was an opposition researched hit on Mr. Trump. It was a political stunt worthy of Dan Rather or Candy Crowley. It was a politically correct attempt to banish a candidate from the political process.

President Obama never fielded this type of hostile question. If you can name one instance similar that Mr. Obama faced, tell me, please.

Jelly needs to look Trump in the eye and admit to him that she’s a bitch and a liar.

Bleed out from where?

That is the most important issue facing our nation in 2015.

No, Fox did a great job

I don't agree. Maybe they covered possible tabloid issues that would later arise but how much did we find out about the candidates? I would have liked to have heard how they each felt about the 2nd Amendment, how they would choose their cabinets or nominate judges.

If Fox wanted to corner these candidates, why not on the issues. Nail them down on how they'd stop ISIS, etc. Might just be me but I think it was a missed opportunity due to their clamor for sensationalism, IMHO

increasing concern inside Fox News that Trump could damage the network.

They damaged themselves ... already ... Don had nothing to do with it.

You are out of your mind. Megyn Crowley and Chrissy Wallace were sent out by either Murdoch or Ailes to assassinate Trump. It backfired bigtime and now they have had to back peddle and make the peace.
