So much for what Fox News thinks of the two leaders in the Breitbart Primary. It’s pretty clear that Fox has an agenda, and that is to destroy Donald Trump while ignoring Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). On the first count, they failed miserably — while they certainly managed to pull off the second one. For now.

Ted Cruz was ignored for 40 straight minutes during the debate — with the mods even skipping Cruz on the topics of Iran and, yes, even ObamaCare. How in the world can you take yourself seriously when you don’t invite Cruz into an ObamaCare discussion? Perhaps it’s because Fox was so arrogantly assuring everyone back during the Cruz ObamaCare shutdown filibuster that it was going to cost the Republicans the Senate — in 2014. How did that turn out?
On target. Good article. Another battle in a long war
Fox News was very disappointing in their performance in the debates.
They wasted time. Attempted colloquial commentary when the audience wanted to hear the candidates. Presented adversarial questions rather than gleaning the thinking processes of the candidates.
Worse, rater than taking responsibility for their drive-by presentation, they blame 40,000 social media posed questions to form the ‘debate’.
Trump should have bowed out and apologized to Megyn, simply stating, “You’re right Megyn, it’s all about you.” /s
Fox News is a shill station for Rubio
I do think Trump should be pointing out some of these things in the aftermath of the non-debate, instead of launching personal attack comments at Megyn Kelly and Fox. Let others do that, and devastate them with more substantive criticisms. I'm also disappointed to see him point out that he brought them the highest ratings ever. That truly is boorish (even if true) and pretty insulting to the other candidates.
Cruz was asked about God.. so he could emote and be honest..
Giving the Crazy Leftys a laugh at the foolish God believer..
A subtle homily from..... The FOX Seminary from HELL..
The planners at FOX outted themselves by this gambit..
And the moderators will not go guiltless either for being complicit..
The edited copy from the whole fiasco was pregnant with liberal angst..
The Republican Planners should be SLAPPED.. {hard}...
Exactly! If Fox is unable to help Bush get elected by walloping Trump, just maybe they can crown his apprentice, the Rube. It’s All in the Family.
The broadcast was a televised circus without the big striped tent and the ringmaster’s costume for Kelly...however she did carry her microphone and whip.
Catastrophic, and for those high-heaven ratings Fox lost how many of its ‘from-the birth of Fox’ viewers? Ailes~~WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? Or WERE you thinking? Disgusted and fed up in Texas. Like the professional lifetime politicians, Fox sold its soul for a few silver coins and higher ratings. No more, no longer. This country is in too much trouble for hands out, bended knees greedy slimy disgusting power plays.
You can include me as one of those ‘from the birth Fox watchers’...
....not anymore.
They have been revealed for their true selves.
That was a brash stunt Fox pulled Thursday night. They have proved they are a tool and not trustworthy.
Me too. So disgusted I couldn’t watch any Fox shows last night.
Great article. Spot on. Bravo!
It’s pretty obvious the plan was to put Trump off his game at the outset with the “show of hands” question. I’m sure everyone noticed the audience’s obvious revulsion to the question itself. After Trump answered the question, there was more booing, largely interpreted by the MSM as the audience judging Trump’s answer adversely.
I don’t think so. I think they were still angry at Fox for asking the question. Anyone else see it that way?
Spot on
I just heard an interview with former Mayor of Cincinnati Ken Blackwell, who was in the audience. His experience was that even the RINO selected audience booed the question first before a few booed Trump.

Yep and in unison.
btw, sure came across that Jeb knew his questions beforehand.
Aw....shucks! Thanks. BTW, I have big section on Katrina in my latest book. I'd bet you'd find that on target too. THANKS AGAIN.
election tampering is criminal, There are FCC and FEC rules networks need to follow
IMO, besides emulating Shep-on-the-bridge at Katrina, they were approaching Geraldo-in-Afghanistan grandstanding territory. Those are the closest two analogies I can come up with.
It's amazing how ultimately math will explain so much...but yes, I am thankful for those groups who broke all of this down (although I caught the 59 minute thing and tweeted about it at the time). I was passionately angry about it, and when I heard the cold hard facts, it came together in about 10 minutes.
Tell me what action they took that could be shown to be election tampering.
