Megyn Kelly pokes fun at lengthy GOP debate terms; how about a foot massage?
BizPac Review ^ | 11/03/15 | Michael Dorstewitz

Fox News host Megyn Kelly read through a specific list of debate demands that most Republican presidential candidates signed as a result of the CNBC debate debacle, and wondered what else they wanted — maybe a foot massage?

Kelly read through some of the demands, which included a 67 degree room temperature and approval of on-screen graphics, with Fox News digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt.

“Can you imagine having to submit our graphics for approval to the candidates?” she asked. “Good luck with that.”

Stirewalt noted that some “candidates started peeling off” on signing the demand letter, “because they have different interests.”

“Trump’s out,” Kelly said. “Fiorina never took part, she’s like ‘I’ll debate anyone, anywhere.’”

Govs. Chris Christie of New Jersey and John Kasich of Ohio also declined to sign the letter.

Megyn and the rest of the Fox establishment are upset Jeb isn’t doing well.

This nails it.

I know this is FR apostasy, but I'm going to confess. I've watched Anderson Cooper on CNN a few times recently, and I think he's fairer than the Fox bunch has become.

Their post debate analysis was excellent, highlighted by liberal icon Carl Bernstein calling out the CNBC moderators for their disgraceful performance.

He also pointed out that he makes a point to read conservative journalism, because is generally represents the views of half the country, and it is irresponsible for modern journalists to ignore that.

Fox has become unbearable to watch. I flip around to watching different shows now but really haven’t found anything worth my time. I’ve gone back to listening to Rush and Levin and reading the news off the internet.

Obama would never let her solidify her poll numbers following the Benghazi hearing, if he expected to indict her.

The funny thing is she did not leave that hearing room able to exonerate herself. Her connections with Blumingwhatever, on Libya, were wrapped around her own self interest, around business interests (profit) out of Libya, and the political messaging she could parlay into money and a presidential campaign run.

If that theme could be laid out coherently based on the evidence, Republicans could make their case, but the convolution of all the threads has been made needlessly difficult.

I am in the same boat... just I have no television, as I have no need for one. You may enjoy this:

After watching all the Whitewater and other scandal hearings, I don’t pay one bit of attention to Congressional hearings anymore. They’ll frustrate the heck out of ya.

They don’t plan on going after each other. I don’t know if everyone has dirt on everyone else, but they don’t go for the jugular. So what’s the point?

The software is not recognizing special characters such as smart quotes, smart apostrophes, and ems (long dashes) - at least in many cases. Until this is solved, a good workaround would be to use a text editor and replace those with regular quotes, regular apostrophes, and double dashes respectively.

It looks like it’s not recognizing any special characters at all.

I take the time to replace them, but when I copy and repost the article, the same weird symbols pop up.

“Could there be some kind of tracking code that is being interjected into the news articles? Or, could it be the automatic edit is not turned off when the article is put to print?”

No, the truth is more mundane than that. Those funny characters are supposed to be curly quotation marks. You know, some quotation marks show up as two straight lines, but some show up as curved? Well computers represent those with two different numeric codes. There is some issue going on with the way FR’s software is parsing that “curly quote” code. Instead of showing the proper quotation marks, it is showing a funny looking character instead.

This is not an uncommon kind of error in programming, because there are several different sets of codes in use for representing text. So if you expect one system to be used, and people are pasting text that was encoded with another system, then you get funny results like this. The letters, numbers, and common punctuation marks may all translate fine, but more rarely used characters, like the “curly quotes” often get “mistranslated” by the software.
