No tough questions? Sounds like someone is stealing Obama's media playbook!

"Nice try."

I wonder if you were "lying" by refusing to acknowledge the Fox link?
If H.R. Clinton is elected President, you know who else wins, BIG TIME?

Fox News.
For the next 4 or 8 years, they will have a guaranteed audience of permanently angry, bitter cranks who will wallow in negativity. Therefore, Fox must carefully whip up their audience before the election while alienating everyone else, helping Hillary get elected, and keeping their advertisers and shareholders happy.

The Republican National Committee made good Friday on its threat to block CNN and NBC from hosting the 2016 Republican primary debates.

According to the Associated Press, the RNC voted unanimously at its summer meeting in Boston to block the two networks over their plans to air projects about former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus had made the news rounds last week voicing his threat, but now it's official.
In a letter to NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt last week, Priebus said, "Out of a sense of fairness and decency and in the interest of the political process and your company's reputation, I call on you to cancel this political ad masquerading as an unbiased production."
This is a great thing! I doubt they will actually go thru with it, but it is funny to think they are so afraid to let Americans see the upcoming version of the Krazy Kar.

Republicans will do anything to limit the number of debates. Too many episodes of Clown Show 2012 starring Cain and Bachmann hurt the brand.

it must be nice to be surrounded with happy liberals. I mean, I've never met a happy liberal, but I think you are implying that they exist somewhere.

Major political party refuses to debate on network that airs views of the other side


The only thing that isn't common knowledge about this development is....

...it's not Republicans that are refusing to debate on a network like CNN or NBC, which only airs views agreeing with the Democrat party.

Guess which party is refusing... thus continuing a long trend?

Yep, it's the Democrat candidates, who consistently refuse to come to a debate on Fox News - the only network which consistently airs BOTH sides' views in a debate and lets them argue it out on the air.

The Democrats just can't stand the opposition getting ANY air time.

The New York Times reports on this appalling behavior.

Giuliani Calls on Democrats to Debate on Fox

By ADAM NAGOURNEY
May 16, 2007, 3:41 pm

When Fox News tried to set up a Democratic presidential debate with the Congressional Black Caucus, it watched its effort crumble after bloggers and liberal groups complained that Democrats should not appear on a network that, they said, had a history of belittling Democrats and promoting Republicans on its airwaves.

Three Democrats announced they would not participate: Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Edwards and Barack Obama.

On Tuesday night, Republicans in South Carolina participated in a feisty debate sponsored by Fox News that even Democrats said was anything but a free ride for their opponents: The Fox questioners hammered the Republicans on issues ranging from abortion to government spending to the war on terror.
Given that, one of the Republican presidential contenders, Rudolph W. Giuliani, called on Democrats to reconsider their refusal. “The Democrats should debate on Fox,” Mr. Giuliani said in an interview. “I think they would get a good chance to explain themselves. If the Republicans candidates are willing to debate on MSNBC and CNN, the Democrats should be willing to debate on Fox. I don’t think they’d want us to look like the bolder group of candidates.”

Posting it twice doesn't make it any more relevant. It's still from 2007, Little Something Or Other.

You're making me feel bad for you.

Right, because being a Senator for 8 years and Secretary of State for 4 years doesn't count.
