Hi Red Team. I agree this has been a great thread. I have been disappointed that it isn't more active but the OP went on to other things and when that happens, the thread usually dies. But I for one would like to see it revived.
I have mixed emotions about the Fox questions--difficult yes and I definitely didn't want those people tossed softballs. But I was immediately frustrated that they went for the personal jugulars instead of focusing on the issues and what the people really need to know about the candidate's positions on the important things. I am so tired of the politics of personal destruction and would like the whole conversation elevated above that.
It is amazing to me that you actually think that Fox cares about issues.
Issues don't sell.
Drama does.
Fox has more to gain by keeping people emotionally attached than intellectually fed.
I disagree. Fox focuses on issues better than any other mainstream news source which is, IMO, why they beat all the others in the ratings combines.
It's great you have an opinion.
I have one or two shows I'll watch on Fox and one or two I'll watch on CNN and MSNBC. Beyond that, they appear to be little more than pot stirring efforts IMO. I can't sit through 10 minutes of Hannity. The guy is as partisan and agenda driven as Al Sharpton. The Kelly file is little better. She's good at condemning before all the evidence is heard.
I don't watch much, but I like On The Record.
When it comes to the debate and Fox's conduct with regards to candidates in general....they appear (based on my limited viewing) to be highly favoring some canidates over others.
