He will definitely soft ball Biden questions.
Did FOX do this on purpose, or is it the debate committee responsible?
It means there will be no conservatives picking the themes and questions.

Chris Wallace is an excellent journalist. You are totally off base with this. But the mantra by Trumpers for weeks is that Trump will destroy Biden in the debates or even Biden won't debate. So why be so worried?

The popular narrative during the 2000 campaign was Gore would demolish Bush when it came time to debate. That didn't happen. Now...Biden has cognitive issues that could affect his performance. I'm sure he's going to be told to keep the answers simple. All he needs to do is get through the debates and still be standing.

However, there's still a big risk with putting him on the debate stage. When he goes off course he's unaware which is why he sometimes get flustered.

I think this might well be Bidens Achilles Heel: He'll be told keep it simple. However, he won't because in his mind he's fine. In which case at best he'll give rambling answers. At worst he'll make a number of major gaffs.

He’s going to stutter, mumble and show his demented old man side to a level that we will have never seen before. And what’s funny is that people like to get on Trump’s case, but Trump still at the age of 74 is oozing charisma - something that Sleepy Joe has never in his life had even an ounce of.
He is oozing alright.

Biden is not going to be able to handle complex questions. His cognitive ability is shrinking fast.

The Biden team and his handlers will do about anything to prevent this debate from happening.

We'll see what happens....
It looks like the Trumpies are hoping for the debate not happening. It is happening, baby.

He throws hard pitches to conservatives, NOT democrats.
Liberals will now devise the questions and formats to all the debates. FOX was the only debate where there may have been a modicum of fairness — not now.
Hope you are happy....
It is hilarious how scared the Trumpies are to let Trump alone on the stage with Biden. Well, you should be afraid, very afraid.

The only other Fox News people I've liked are Juan, Bill Hemmer, Colmes (R.I.P.), and Shep Smith (no longer works there). Everyone else is pretty much biased.
Brett Baer is not bad.
