RNC shifts away from establishment media for fourth GOP debate
Washington Post ^ | 11/9/23 | Amy B. Wang

Posted on 11/09/2023 5:29:37 PM PST by cotton1706

The fourth Republican presidential primary debate of this cycle will be hosted by NewsNation, the “Megyn Kelly Show” on SiriusXM radio and the Washington Free Beacon newspaper, the Republican National Committee announced Thursday — representing a shift away from the establishment media outlets that hosted the first three debates.

NewsNation anchor Elizabeth Vargas, talk show host Megyn Kelly and Washington Free Beacon editor in chief Eliana Johnson will moderate the Dec. 6 debate in Tuscaloosa, Ala., the RNC said.

In a statement, Johnson touted the move to lesser-known outlets as a positive for Republicans, saying they were excited “to offer the candidates a debate platform outside of the mainstream media echo chamber and to give Republican primary voters a debate where conservative ideas and values will be the terrain and not the target.”

Didn’t President Trump give an interview to Lester Holt?

It’ll be “but your stance on abortion is hurting you”. “What are you going to do about it?”

Tuscaloosa. Democrat town. Poor choice. Huntsville would have Ben a smarter choice.

Yes. You typically go to places that have people watching. Just a thing.

Matt Walsh had a great video about that today. No Republicans are fighting back. The left demonizes Republicans about the 1% of sad cases they can find, yet no one talks about dismembering and murdering babies for convenience by the 99%.

I’m not fooled these folks debating are the “Anti-Trump” regardless of the media outlets linked to the debate.

I would prefer if it's someone like Bill O'Reilly.

Yes, he may be too much of a moderate. But he appears to be neutral. And he's not part of the establishment anymore.

Way too late to cover up what they really are.

What does “part of the establishment” mean?

To align with the venue change, how about changing the eligibility to be on the stage.

I’m thinking ALL the candidates over, say, 25%.

I suspect BOR is just Controlled Opposition. Better hidden than some.

What is the purpose of a 4TH debate?

RPOTUS45 stated earlier that none of the also rans would be Vice-President.

Big deal. We already hear that at least 50 times a day. She got the nod because the RNC picks who they want and Trump knows that.
