Do We Really Want a President Who Is Afraid of a Cable Network?

The days of a CNN correspondent asking a Democrat candidate how he'd react if his wife were raped are long gone.

Strange, isn't it? Today we would call Bernie Shaw "fair and balanced."

FOX should ask what these candidates think of FOX viewers—are’t the viewers citizens, too?

Someone here with photoshop skills could use full-length photos of the Breck Girl and Obama, create a digital flyer with images of them wetting their pants, and provide quite an effective caption...... how about “Courageous Democrat ‘Leadership’ Quivers Before Fox News” or “How Can These Guys Face Down Osama When They Wet Their Pants Over Greta Van Sustern?”

I think these weasels have handed the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy an easy victory.........

I love how it’s the one network that dissents that is biased. All the others are “perfectly balanced”.

You know, one of the things I like about President Bush is that if he ran into Michael Moore at a function, he would walk right up to him and say...”Hey! Good to see you. How’s the Buffet.” And everyone would think he was being friendly.

He is just not scared of anyone. These people are weenies.

Fox News is Democrat Kryptonite.

That analogy subtly implies a connection between the Democrats and Superman. I prefer to say that Fox News is the equivalent of garlic and a Cross for the Democrat vampires.

Will Obama, Clinton and Edwards pull out of CNN’s debate? It’s fairly clear that CNN is biased, but of course the candidates won’t avoid CNN, because it’s their kind of bias.

pretty devestating.

This is amazing, passing up what could amount to free air time with one who might turn out to be popular...but these democrats obviously know nothing about diplomacy and are not willing to make the difficult steps in order to reach out.

but these democrats obviously know nothing about diplomacy

They think consorting with terrorists in Syria constitutes "diplomacy."

The turds are owned by the creeps at Move On and Kos. They will do whatever they think will please their base (and I do mean base).

Lots of LOUD CLUCKING going on. These spineless, bed-wetting wimps haven’t got the guts to appear on a REAL news network. Somebody might ask them a hardball question. They hide behind the liberal media like little kids who don’t want mommy to see they wet their pants...AGAIN!!! And they think they have what it takes to be Pres.?? Not bloody likely.

[supercat]

specific hard question the other media outlets would not dare ask -- followed by a obvious period of dead silence

One of Rush Limbaugh's greatest performances, IMHO, was around 1992 when he appeared on the Phil Donohue program. The audience was packed with liberals, and they asked him all sorts of what they expected to be hard questions, but he consistently nailed them.

I hope that even if no candidates show up for the debate, Fox New still publicizes the questions.

BTW, in the debates before the general election, I'd like the hosts to abandon the pretense of having an unbiased moderator and instead allow each party to select their own. Each moderator would contribute half of the questions for each candidate. If the Democrats think they can find someone who can ask questions the Republicans won't be able to answer, let them have at it.
