Fox & Trump will have a field day with this, he’ll be shouting it at every rally. I will say I totally agree with the decision though.

Fuck yes. No more moderation to appease Fox News viewers who will never ever fucking vote for Dems.

I guess we'll hear something about it tomorrow morning on Fox & Friends. I hear they were going to moderate the debates. :)

I would like this extended to all conservative media outlets like Daily Caller, National Review and so on. Don't give them a second of time, starve them and make them report on Democrats from a distance or from secondhand sources. The people who peruse those places are not looking for reasons to vote for a Democrat, nor are they looking for good news from some Democrat.

Democrats are wasting their time engaging them thinking that it will be reported fairly or that their audience will be receptive to their message.

I suggest a different strategy for the general. Democratic candidate should refuse to appear on Fox unless they allow candidates to question each other.

Imagine a real debate

And unsurprisingly Trump is saying he might just boycott the general election debates if they don’t include Fox in the Dem debates.

Fox News is part of the story not an objective outsider and potentially will be part of the investigations into the election rigging and other crimes against our country that are being exposed. They are indeed a part of the Trump machine and there have already been allegations of planning and collusion between them and the Trump campaign. Certainly not a news outlet, just a propaganda arm. Only a matter of time until they reveal that Michael Cohen, Sean Hannity's lawyer, implicated him in the illegal dealings at 1600.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/03/11/the-making-of-the-fox-news-white-house

After members of the press pool got out of vans and headed over to where the President was about to speak, they noticed that Sean Hannity, the Fox News host, was already on location. Unlike them, he hadn’t been confined by the Secret Service, and was mingling with Administration officials, at one point hugging Kirstjen Nielsen, the Secretary of Homeland Security. The pool report noted that Hannity was seen “huddling” with the White House communications director, Bill Shine. After the photo op, Hannity had an exclusive on-air interview with Trump. Politico later reported that it was Hannity’s seventh interview with the President, and Fox’s forty-second. Since then, Trump has given Fox two more. He has granted only ten to the three other main television networks combined, and none to CNN, which he denounces as “fake news.”

In addition, with the rape culture that has been proven to be rampant among the halls of Fox News it would not be appropriate for a family event to be aired in that facility.

So, no not surprised.

With the Tangerine Ballsack tuning in to Fox and them feeding him bullshit that triggers him, I think the White House has become an extension of Fox News. Shine and insHannity mingling behind the scenes doing their planning makes that even more clear. Fox has been operating as the personal political organization of Rupert Murdoch in support of his right wing causes, much like his other media operations elsewhere. Turmoil is unleashed everywhere Rupert has his media hard at work for him.

A rich guy like him can play with the world like a cat with a mouse, and he does.

I think that could be defined as "winning", right? Finally, Err Furor just might deliver!

No I think campaign rallys are better than debates.. where people answer questions that only matter to the 1%.

When was the last time Fox hosted a Democratic debate? Answer: It's been a long time ago, around 15 years.

Well, yeh, of course. Fox & Trump are integrated to provide total information control. Post-truth with a vengeance.

What pussies. Trump went forward with the debate hosted by CNN and ABC leftist "journalists", took an overwhelming majority of pointed questions and still came out head and shoulders above Hillary.

Uhhhh, Trump got his ass handed to him in every debate. It just proved how little his base cares about facts and the truth.

When was the last time Obama was seen huddling outside the press pool with Jake Tapper or then was Obama calling George Stephanopoulos for policy advice?

Just go back to lying for Trump.

Are you kidding me? His performance in the debates is what, in my opinion, won him the election.

"Because you'd be in jail" was probably the best burn in politics ever.

About time.
About time someone woke up and realized they are in a war for the future of democracy.
