The AP’s Jim Kuhnhenn writes about the possibility that FNC could host a CBC Institute debate…

Officials for the institute and News Corp., Fox News’ parent company, said discussions over co-hosting a Republican and a Democratic debate were under way Monday.

The CBC Institute, a nonprofit group whose directors include members of the Congressional Black Caucus, has already sealed an agreement with CNN to broadcast a Democratic presidential primary debate in South Carolina and another Republican debate at a site to be determined.

Online activists, who were instrumental in forcing the cancellation of the Nevada debate, are mobilizing to pressure the Congressional Black Caucus and the institute against entering into an agreement with Fox News.

“Should they go forward, what we will see is largely what we saw happen in Nevada,'’ said James Rucker, head of colorofchange.org, a coalition of black online activists. “They can expect a massive grass-roots backlash.'’
