IDK I kinda like left leaning anchors hosting it , it keeps all the pressure on them to be fair . I think they should let Don lemon and Rachael Maddow host it together . I’d Ike to watch how long it takes them to start leaning toward the left .

Within 3 questions they would need a V8.

At some point the Dem. Primary winner will be campaigning for the office of president.
That candidate is guaranteed to lose if they do not appeal to voters outside their base (moderates, etc). I think it is a smart play to expose those primary candidates to those outside the base early and often. Just as Trump siphoned traditional D voters, the D candidate could do the same with some familiarity to other voters.

I beg to disagree. The Primary is about Democrats choosing their candidate. No need to go on a Republican network (actually Fox is a Trumpian network) to do that. I think in the General Election try to go on Fox as often as possible.

Fox leans to the right but they aren’t completely deranged and unhinged like CNN and MSNBC.

I understand the hesitancy, but don't you think someone in the position of moderator is going to go out of their way to appear fair?

The issue isn't fairness. The problem I see, as noted above, is a FNC host may be inclined to ask about issues that FNC shows center on, which to a large degree are completely different than issues Democratic primary voters care about.

LOL......you are funny today. Nice to see you have a sense of humor.
Last I checked this is America & not a socialistic country.....hint American issues & values voters care about. Dem primary voters should be no different & care about those same American values as normal thinking people do...America First.

Good. Fox has largely ceased to be a news organization and are now, essentially, state media, as noted in the New Yorker article. Political bias/perspective is endemic in journalism, always has been. Fox, CNN, NBC, etc. have all nohad their slants, but they were apparent and still capable of asking questions of candidates from both sides. The way Fox, though, has ingratiated itself with this White House, having its members make daily conference calls and meetings with the president, helping formulate policy while then having a nightly show to comment on those policies is crossing a line.

Cnn listed the Virginia governor as a republican, immediately spread fake news about the KY high school, and immediately bashed whitey over jussie. Liberal Media literally lies, and that's not a problem for you?

It doesn't matter to me. I don't vote. I dont watch news. I dont watch debates.
Im simply looking at this as a marketing/PR move for the winning D candidate.
If i were running, i would take advantage of every opportunity to speak to several hundred thousands of people at one time.

I would. But I would also think there would still be hesitancy of them actually BEING fair. I have no doubt MSNBC would be biased in the same scenario and I doubt Fox would be any different.

Reaching more viewers is moot if you are setup to fail. It counterproductive, in fact.

So basically totally ignore the Fox viewers concerns till after the primary, then maybe think about forming a message that would resonate with the Fox viewers and get their vote in the general. Sounds legit.

It gets more clear each day how Trump won. 🤦‍♂️

Fortunately it’s a fed mandated Ponzi scheme forcing every wage earner to form a new bottom tier with each new generation.

Until all of us boomers retire and the house of cards implodes.

Except that it's true. The way the Fox News media has become part of the policy making, or discussing, team is completely unprecedented and the closest to state run, or influenced, media we've ever had. I will amend my "good" with a notation for one of the few objective journalists at Fox to moderate a debate, like Shepherd Smith or Chris Wallace, especially since it probably would be Wallace doing it.

So they are now just like CNN and MSNBC then? Cool. So does anyone else see a big problem with this situation? I think this decision sets a bad precedent.

I wasn't bashing Trump. I was pointing out that he probably won't be scheduling time on the "left leaning networks." You really don't get out much do you?

Oh bullcrap. There wasn't one innocent thing about your post. It was a Trump dig straight up.

Short sighted. They should want their candidates on Fox for exposure to the folks who dont watch other outlets.

Their debates are going to be on Super Bowl Sunday, All World Series games, The Daytona 500, and the college championships of any sort. The Dimwit king makers don't WANT exposure.
