The Debate Democrats Were Too Scared To Do On Their Own
January 10th, 2008 at 08:04pm Matt Margolis
The GOP candidates for president are about to participate in the FOX News debate in South Carolina… Remember, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards were too chicken to participate in a debate hosted by FOX.

Some of these Dems had no problem, however, with sabotaging an earlier GOP debate with left-leaning questions from planted operatives.

Im not a Fred guy- but he just ripped Huckabee a new one.

You mean they didn’t want to participate in a debate hosted by the Ministry of Truth?

Where the hell has Thompson been all my life! I guess he just decided to wake up, and good on him. Both he, Giulani and Romney are doing well. Huckabee is a fading star, McCain is one trick pony and I hit the mute button when Paul speaks.

Diana, recent studies have shown that election coverage has been the most balanced by FOX News. And, NBC has admitted an Obama bias.
So, yah. You got it correct.
I looked for links. The search engines are clogged with hate Fox stuff. Oh well. One independent voice is unacceptable, I guess.

Thompson has hit Huckabee really hard tonight and I for one am glad he did. Huckabee’s record need’s to be looked into and people need to get familer with him and his clearly liberal record. Fred should see a bumb after this debate I believe.

See, Diana, you are capable of expressing an opinion. I’m not sure how informed an opinion it is, but at least it’s your own.

*Chuckles*
Good to see ya up to your old tricks spook. :)
I haven’t seen a debate but I bet there’s some good stuff in there.
Oh and Diana why is it just fine for the Republicans to go into the lion’s den as it were with all the other “News” agencies but the Dems won’t go to Fox?
Besides, how can you deal with foreign governments and those who aren’t friendly to us if you’re afraid to talk around one of your countries own news agencies?

Democrats refuse to debate on Fox because they’re afraid of the truth, and could never admit to the truth. The truth to them, is going to be whatever they choose it to be.
The Clintons know how to play that game all too well.
Dirty politics, the name of the Democrat game.

“Diana, recent studies have shown that election coverage has been the most balanced by FOX News.”
Really? I would LOVE to see these.

Spook, I’m amazed at you. Diana’s comment is no different than that of any of the other troll pukes here. In fact, the comment is quite similar to comments posted by her pasture-mate, plaincowjane.
One wonders where Diana goes for her “truth.” NBC? CBS? ABC? CNN? MSLSD? Google?

I didn’t say it was, Keefer (I assume that’s you). What I meant was that (1) she stayed on topic; (2) she didn’t cut & paste some article or study that didn’t really say what she thought it said; and (3) she just plain stated an opinion. I happen to think that it’s an uninformed opinion, because I watch Fox News. I used to watch CNN, MSNBC and the 3 Networks. On all of them, their agenda overshadows their reporting of the news, and, in many ways shapes it. Maybe Fox does the same thing on the other end of the scale, but at least I agree with what they say most of the time. If that reflects the fact that I’m a Conservative, then so be it.
Last month we encountered multiple problems switching satellite providers and went through about 3 weeks of having to watch network news off our old antenna in the attic. The first morning, about 10 or 15 minutes into “Good Morning America” (a show we used to watch every morning), I turned to my wife and, almost simultaneously, we both said, “this is awful”. It was almost as though someone like Christian Wright had written their script. We tried CBS and NBC, and they were no better.

The following is a direct excerpt from your link NY conservative.
>>>The study also found that Fox NewsChannel’s evening news show provided more balanced coverage than its counterparts on the broadcast networks.<<<<<

Well, how is this for a link?
And I just know Diane and the rest of her jack booted thugs will not respond to this at all.
