The quotes in your comment will make people think you're telling the truth.

"Again, we believe Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, the faces of our political coverage, are the best choices to moderate."

He has no balls. If he didn't he wouldn't be picking on parents with children that died in a horrific manner. That man ain't any sort of man in my measurement. I will applaud his eulogy. Rotting pile of pig shit.

No, he's just gone bankrupt. He's still trying to grift in any way that he can.

The “entertainment network” that paid $750 million for lying to the American public regarding the outcome of last presidential election wants to host the candidates for next presidential election? Color me shocked

I think Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly would be interesting moderators.

I'm not endorsing O'Reilly, but he and Stewart have good chemistry, one's a Democrat and the other is a Republican.

I have, and still believe, that Bill O'Reilly belongs in the depths of hell.

It's probably a trap...but beating him there would be a huge huge fucking deal. Trump took the last debate on Biden teams terms and despite that Biden still cocked it up and that made the burn worse(had that debate been on Fox the age issues would have been blamed on their audio mixing and editing and the room being too hot and crap). If Trump loses on his own turf on his rules with his followers watching?

They wouldn't follow the rules though. It would definitely be a trap. They would cut her mike but Trumps mute would 'stop working' for whatever reason. He'd do that creepy hover shit and Fox would zoom in on him with her forehead barely in view while she is the one actually talking, and so on. ABC is at least kind of neutral vs. CNN or Fox. Agreeing to Fox wouldn't even be parity with what Trump agreed too for the first one.

And, he didn't answer a single question! He spend an hour blabbering, "I'm rubber and you're glue."

Y’think?

...but

No, no. No, let’s go with the trap idea and avoid it completely.

Is this so Harris will turn it down, and then when Donald turns down a real debate, he can say, “Harris started it did it first”?

I think it's wonderful. Bring up Fox pushing the stolen election narrative and watch the moderators deflect and sweat like it violates the terms of a lawsuit

What do you figure? Downvoted because you don't like the news?

Yeah I wouldn't take those personally. People are expressing unhappiness with the article, not the poster. Ideally not how this works but it is what it is. At least points don't really matter.

The problem is the display algorithm works on those points.

"Hot sort" crew checking in, your article came through loud and clear.

"fox news rejects trumps idea to host debate" would be newsworthy.

There needs to be an option for a sacrificial comment that can take the brunt.

Basically a "upvote the article for exposure, downvote the comment to disagree with the content of the article".

Co-host it with two moderators from two news networks. It’d be a first and a good ratings gimmick.

Rules: No audiences from either network. Give each moderator a the ability to ask fast follow up questions in the event that the opposing moderator asked a leading question.

Networks: Fox and NBC (with an MSNBC host)

The Harris team should insist that the microphone not be muted. I know this will make the debate unwatchable, but the rule obviously benefits Trump, because Harris already knows how to wait her turn without electronic intervention.
