I mean actually tryiong to show debates and ask questions of both sides. I mean the nerve of you!Don't you know a scandal is only to be reported when done by conservatives? And don't even think about asking a liberal a harder question than "what's it like being a grandma in congress?" I know those reporters just send chills down the spine of every politician. They really know they're being watched after that. What’s wrong with you Fox News?? I mean actually tryiong to show debates and ask questions of both sides.

Wouldn't you just love to have those hated Fox viewers subjected to 90 minutes of non-stop Bush bashing? BTW, keep your eyes on Hillary if this does get sticky. Unlike the vapid John Edwards, she will not get involved. Last year, Rupert Murdoch held a big fundraiser for her Senate race and he is ready to give to her again. Although I despise the woman, I give Ms. Clinton credit for staying far away from the nutty far left. She knows it is a recipe for certain defeat.

Jesse Jackson (who is still very influential within the black community) just came out forcefully against the debate. I say this will be dead by next week. Price of mobilizing grassroots organizers against the Propaganda Network: Approximately $250,000.00. Price of seeing Fox have it's a** handed to it twice within a month: PRICELESS!

Fox kinda ignored that question.
