Report: FOX NEWS BANS Trump Surrogates from Debate ‘Spin Room’
Breitbart ^ | Jordan Dixon-Hamilton

Posted on 08/21/2023 8:18:53 PM PDT by AnthonySoprano

Fox News reportedly told former President Donald Trump’s surrogates they are not allowed access to the post-debate “spin room” following Trump’s announcement that he would skip the debate due to a significant polling advantage.

Aides typically tout their candidates and criticize their opponents in the “spin room,” according to Axios.

However, Fox News is no longer allowing Trump’s team to represent the former president in the “spin room” due to Trump’s decision to skip the debate. The conservative cable news outlet said post-debate credentials would be given only to “participating candidate/campaigns,” according to a memo obtained by Axios.

Members of Trump’s campaign, including his senior advisers, were also planning on being in the Spin Room.

But Fox News is in charge of credentials for the Spin Room. The RNC manages credentials for the actual debate, and sources said those tickets are still expected be honored.

Brett Baier was worse than megyn k and Wallace in the 2015 debate. I’ve always maintained that

Days After the 2020 Baier and that Martha McCallum were pushing Biden as if it had been an election and Biden won

Now baier will be hosting a debate with an audience size comparable to a Biden 2020 used car lot campaign event while tge sure winner is off broadcasting an interview independent of tv msm

Seems fair enough given Trump’s cowardice in not participating.

"This debate is NOT about The Donald."

There should be a drinking game Wednesday night, to see how many times President Trump's name is mentioned in a debate that you claim isn't about him.

LOL! He's doing them a big favor by not showing up. Now, they're going to have to attack each other.

I’ll hold you to this. Naturally I won’t watch this debate. Nor watch a Trump/Tucker Love Fest if there is one.

But there will be a debate transcript. It’s be easy enough to count how many (or how few) the name “Trump” is mentioned.

I’m not the one whining. I am happy with the decision. Trump is weak to not debate and wanting to send surrogates. Well, sorry, he can’t play. I’ll watch the debate and later the already pre-recorded Tucker interview with Trump.

Who do you think you're kidding? You whine about Trump all the time. You must have nothing else to do in your life.

I won't be watching. I haven't watched Fox News since 2008, nor do I watch any news programming on any platform, not even Trump's rallies or interviews. I already know I'm voting for Trump for the third time, even if I have to write his name in. I'm old, and have better things to do with the time I have left on this earth, than waste it watching stupid news people asking stupid questions, especially to the nitwits showing up for the debate on Wednesday.

You betcha. I NEVER watch any TV news. Not local. Not national. I do surf local news websites to stay current.

But all the national and international news I need to know? Right Here on Free Republic. Complete with links and videos in case I want to delve further into the subject.

Yes, outing anti-veteran anti-American fake conservatives like you is worth the effort.

See, there you go again making things up. You can't stop doing it. You're as much a serial liar as Joe Biden and Bill Clinton.
