Mission accomplished: Fox/CBC debate cancelled

Via AP:

(AP) Fox News and a black political group say they will not hold a Sept. 23 Democratic presidential debate in Detroit, which the leading candidates already were planning to skip.

A new date had not yet been set, Fox News spokesman Michael Murphy said Thursday.

The campaigns of U.S. Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama and former Sen. John Edwards had said they would not participate in the debate. Opponents have criticized Fox as biased against Democrats.

The debate, co-sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Political Education and Leadership Institute, was to have been held at the Fox Theatre.

The Nutroots whined and cackled about Republican heavyweights (such as Mitt Romney) not wanting to participate in taking silly questions from snowmen at a CNN/YouTube “debate” (which is back on, BTW) like the Dems did last month, but they themselves can’t stomach the possiblity that they might actually be asked tough questions at a real debate from a major news network that isn’t liberal-friendly like the rest of them. I mean, God forbid they step out of their comfort zone.

Losers, all.

    Again we see that the same people who are trying to convince us that they could protect the country are scared of Fox news.

    Yeah, that’s who I want running the nation.8-|

    I have to admit that sometimes Fox news irritates me, mostly because of some of the commentators they have…but for heavens sake MSNBC irritates me too and so does CNN, they all do in their own way.

    But I am not running for office and the truth is the candidates have to be prepared to deal with all the media, like it or not.

  3. Great White Rat says:

    This is great news. I’m all for anything that exposes the weakness and immaturity of the left-wing candidates.

    Somewhere in the RNC, someone already has a sound bite line for the debates a year from now, along the lines of ‘how can you possibly stand up to Iran when you can’t stand up to Kos or Fox News’?

    They can only handle softball questions? I’ve got an idea: let’s put them in charge of protecting us from terrorists!

    Excuse my french, but what chicken s#@ts. !!!!!

    The DNC provides the questions for the other networks – and the dems can’t answer real questions. Also the dems think they can avoid a racism charge, the other half of the equation being the CBC, because Obama gave them coverage. I wonder.
