Fox Hit Job on Trump
My Fetid Mind | August 6th, 2015 | Mariner

Posted on 08/06/2015 9:39:33 PM PDT by Mariner

Watching the debate tonight I noticed several thing that demonstrated great bias:

1. Opened with hit #1, who will not pledge to support the nominee? They KNEW only Trump.

2. Trump calling Rosie names on twitter and are you a misogynist?

3. Even whn in Trump's sweet spot of immigration: PROVE Mexican govt is sending their criminals.

All in the first 20mins.

And never was a single question framed in a way that allowed him to shine.

Trump was created by the NY Post; ironically, now they have marching orders from (naturalized immigrant) Murdoch to destroy his political career.

Buchanan part II.

Well, if that’s the case, he should have brought his answers along tonight, because leaving them at home did not work to his advantage.

“Read my book” is hardly Presidential.

Didn’t surprise me.

FoxNews has been the mouthpiece for the GOP-establishment for several years now, and dutifully does its bidding. All pro-open borders, pro-beltway cronyism, and pro-faggotry. You get on the opposite side of any of those issues, and they’ll do their best to kneecap you.

Agreed, they were trying to destroy him, not just ask tough questions. Unbelievable!

In reality, they gave the candidates one minute each to answer a question. Not much time to go into depth. Like one of the candidates said - you don’t give your positions out to your enemies. Sure, people want specifics, but, that isn’t always the right thing to do, especially, when your opponents, and enemies are ready to pounce on you like prey. Some don’t understand politics very well.

I am a cruz voter but was totally disgusted at the Fox hit job on Trump. Totally unprofessional and unacceptable.

She let Bush off the hook and never followed up when he lied about working for Bloomberg’s abortion Foundation.

If she were as aggressive with Bush as she was with Trump, she could have asked Bush, "If you were unaware of what was in the foundation budget, how do you expect to manage a budget the size of Fedzilla's?"

Not sure what debate you were watching, but I enjoyed the answers Trump gave. His one on Political Correctness will probably raise his support another 5 points.

Fox was not ballanced—It was Get Trump night. They may have succeeded. It showed that other GOP people didn’t take the bate—They tried to get Bush to fight with him—but he refused to take the bait.

The media tried to destroy Trump

And the media tried to suck up to Jeb Bush because Jeb bush is a liberal/marxist like they ALL are

maybe now people will see that Fox is the same as all the other news organizations. they are all liberal marxists

Every attack has made him stronger. Waiting on polls. Predict +5 to +7 My family thinks he tanked. I bet them 1k he did not.

Oh, I enjoyed his answers, too. I enjoyed the whole debate.

It’s just that we who have been watching have already heard the words Trump said tonight, time and time again. I agree with his promises, but he has no specifics, and it became apparent tonight that there are none.

Trump is Toast


Gee, where did we hear that before? After his announcement speech about immigration? After his comments about MCCain? After the news about his divorce? After what he said during a deposition about a lawyer who started pumping breast milk?

These sound bite “debates” annoy me. The “moderators” take more time to ask a question than the candidate has to answer. Why not just: “Each of you has one minute (or two, whatever) to address the immigration problem - go.” Let them talk! And moderators, shut up!!

Campaigns and debates show weak spots, and that’s what happened tonight.


True, when the same questions are posed in the same way to all candidates. Here, not so much. Also, Trump showed, again, he has a pair and won’t play their game.
