Why didn't the members of the FR chapter, just get up and walk out, when it was clear the event was slanted for anti-war questions?

A walk out, protesting this blatant type of liberal media propaganda, would have been highly appropriate, under the biased set of circumstances.

No?

The questioners were stretched out over the course of the show. Because the panel was balanced and Koppel gave them time to talk, the excessive bias wasn't readily apparent--especially when the show started out biased.

Also, Kevin was standing behind Aziz when Aziz asked his question. We didn't think he would never get called on. It was late in the show when we started analyzing the apparent bias. Connie complained to a producer who responded by giving her a mic to ask a question--which wasn't her intention because Kevin was still standing at another mic waiting to ask his question.

To walk out then would have been seen as childish--like the "anti-war" woman who took control of a mic at the end--and blown the slim chance that two "pro" questions would get asked.
