Earlier this year, Democrats caved in to their left wing by canceling a debate hosted by FNC on the grounds that Fox wouldn't provide a fair forum for their presidential aspirants. Never mind that in 2003, the Dems eagerly and without complaint participated in a FNC-sponsored debate, the last CNN-sponsored debate had the network pulling far more strings than it should have, skewing the process in a way that it wanted.
As noted by Howard Mortman, the liberal dominated network deliberately placed the three highest-polling candidates right next to each other, thereby minimizing the exposure the "lesser" candidates received. Moderator Wolf Blitzer also took more time for himself than every candidate except Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Ignoring the other candidates
June 5, 2007 - 10:53 ET by dscottIgnoring the other candidates to death is how the MSM de-selects candidates they don't want. In other words, they guide us ignorant voters away from candidates they don't feel are suitable to their agenda. Who elected them to make such decisions? Oh, that's right, their market share is continually dropping, we the voters, voted for someone else with the remote control. Click that MSM.

Along with the dissemination
June 5, 2007 - 11:12 ET by Chris NormanAlong with the dissemination of tainted and biased information, this is another aspect of the MSM's ongoing attempt to throw elections. In the end, it's just election fixing.

A commentary on the debate
June 5, 2007 - 11:00 ET by goldenthroatWolf Blitzkreig was the perfect choice for moderating this debate. He is a pompous, arrogant, full-of-himself, quasi-journalist who fit right in with the massive egos on the stage and loved the attention he was getting as much as they did.
The Clinton News Network knew exactly what they were doing when they placed the three front runners in the middle - I am surprised there hasn't been screams of protest from the camps of the other candidates!
Never dance on an empty stomach unless it's a liberal.
Go Cavs! Beat the Spurs!

June 5, 2007 - 16:38 ET by Senior ChiefNo complaint allowed...if they do, they won't be in the next round of debates. Of course, 2nd and 3rd tier candidates were given clues to drop from the race anytime they want, since they are just nuances and are irrelevant...

June 5, 2007 - 11:35 ET by bigtimerI wonder how it is going to go tonight on CNN....
Absolutely no bias coming now will there be?
Yeah right...when pigs fly.
I just do not want to hear one more time about Bill Clinton and what would you do with him if Shrillary becomes Prez.
I heard an interesting debate with Carville and BOR with Panetta hosting this....Carville brought up Clintons name thinking he was going to get a lot of applause from the audience when he stated something to the effect of him being the most popular man here and world-wide, smartest too blah blah blah.....
Silence was more like it...it was delicious to watch James squirming not knowing what to utter next....
I loved it!
These people really do convince themselves of anything, when out here in the real world it just is not that way whatsoever.

June 5, 2007 - 12:25 ET by j. frank wilsonIs it true that when Fox News ran their story about Rep. Jefferson's indictments they ran a photo of John Conyers?

June 5, 2007 - 14:35 ET by TruthMongerI sure as hell hope it's true...another small Fox victory for balance...
I hope that nobody is shocked
June 5, 2007 - 12:39 ET by Clear thinkerI hope that nobody is shocked that a liberal media outlet like CNN would guide a debate in the direction they want.
This issue of the liberal media is actually somewhat comical. If the news media got their way we would have a never ending list of libs being elected to the white house, and all other branches of government. Before they could slap themselves on the back for a mission completed, the same libs they helped to put into office would be controlling all their content. At the first sign of bucking the system (fox news would probably be first) the station would be shut down. Hugo Chavez must love our liberal MSM!
The liberal MSM has become an enemy of the USA.

June 5, 2007 - 12:44 ET by bigtimerExcept when he pretends he is going to sue them like he did CNN awhile back.
When it is convenient for leftist dictators they will say or do anything.
I just got rid of my link to that this morning Ct, you've probably seen it posted here awhile back anyway...lol!

"Candidate Romney, Fred Thompson is reportedly a poo-poo head. Do you agree?"

June 5, 2007 - 14:30 ET by SportPoliticsI'm proud democratic presidential candidates refused to hold bilateral talks with their enemy FoxNews. Thatta way diplomatic party of peace, for getting to know your enemy, and coming to terms. Have you asked yourselves what you've done to cause the enemy to hate you yet? Perhaps you should surrender your destructive domestic policies that have caused the war with FoxNews.

June 5, 2007 - 14:52 ET by TeamcheeserThe libs have decided to do to Fox what they do to the true enemies of the USA -- IGNORE THEM!

Guess what? The head of the New Hampshire Democrat Party, Ray Buckley, issued a press release today, complaining about Wolfie's blitzed "performance" Sunday night:

June 5, 2007 - 16:49 ET by Senior ChiefGood catch Del. Democracks are starting to implode even amongst strong leftoids. To notice this kind of set-up seems very frustrating to their base, but then again the rest are just morons...
