    OK then the Republicans should not allow NBC, CBS,ABC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, NYT, WaPo, LATimes, Chicago Trib, or any other other than FOX, WT, NR, WS to ever host any of their debates at all levels.

    Dems won't let Fox News host primary debate

    The Democratic National Committee (DNC) said Wednesday it would not permit Fox News to host a presidential primary debate, citing an explosive story this week alleging deep ties between the conservative network and President Trump’s inner circle.

    1) FAUXNoise has admitted that they aren't a legitimate news outlet in court, so why include them in legitimate news?

    2) I would LURVE to see the 'Pubes slit their own throats that way.

    Actually, now days, it's the Democrats doing it to themselves. The Presidential run is going to be a lot of fun watching them eat each other. They are already doing it. See who can run furthest to the left. LOL!

    So?

    Then why does Trump not do an interview with CNN?

    Sounds like Lil' Donnie is a SCARED Snowflake.

    That awful Wikileaks exposed the corrupt link between the DNC and CNN.
    Republicans and Sanders supporters should shun CNN.

    “WikiLeaks in October published emails purportedly stolen from Clinton campaign chief John Podesta, which included messages from Brazile to Clinton’s campaign containing information on what would be asked during two town hall debates between Clinton and her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)”

    “In an email dated March 12, 2016, Brazile wrote to Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri about the candidate’s stance on the death penalty with the subject header: "From time to time I get the questions in advance."
    “Both happened when Brazile was a CNN contributor, before she became the interim DNC chairwoman.

    Whichever networks hosts the primary debates is entirely up to each party. Each cable news network is extremely biased one way or the other. There's no doubt in my mind that Fox News is the conservative news outlet. CNN and MSNBC is the very liberal news outlet. I suppose one could break them down to Fox being pro Trump, CNN and MSNBC being very anti Trump. The bias shows profoundly.

    Now ABC, NBC and CBS, the over the air networks are biased. But biased in a more covert way than in an overt one. True, they do have their liberal bias, slant on the news. But their bias is nothing compared to CNN and MSNBC. If I were a Republican, CNN and MSNBC sure wouldn't get any primary debates.

    But with Trump as a sitting president, will the Republicans actually have any primary debates? The Democrats had none in 2012 with Obama the sitting president. Although there were other candidates, most were regional or on just one state's ballot. Two were on 5 state ballots, two more on 4 state ballots.

    Sounds like a perfect plan.
    Hope they put it in place.

    Nonsense! Some of their news casts are by far more legit than anything found on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, NYT, WCompost and many others. What they admitted to was that some of their programs are news and other are opinion commentator shows like Hannity. Hannity admits to this. The difference between shows like Hannity and Rachel Maddow is that Rachel doesn't do journalistic investigations. She takes what she is told to say lockstep with all the other commentators over all the networks. It's funny how with each topic that comes out, all the outlets (CNN, MSNBC...) use the exact same words. It's funny. It's like someone writes what the script is going to be word for word and they all use it. It's hilarious!!!

    You're claiming 'Lumpy' Hannity does journalistic investigations?

    You might want to read this from Quora, "https://www.quora.com/Is-Fox-News-becoming-more-liberal"
    When you watch most of the shows, the commentators invite right and left leaning guests. They have battles on subjects all the time left vs right. With commentators, they will tend to move the topic their way of thinking. However, they mostly allow the points of view from both sides. And, if you would take the time to watch all their programs throughout the day, you would find that it's pretty entertaining and not what you think it is.

    First, Fox can host debates among democrats for President. This is only the official Dem debates that all dem candidates have agreed that they will participate in. CNN has three candidates this week that is not sanctioned by the dem party.
