Donald Trump, during a campaign speech, says he has no interest in a debate controlled by hostile media...and in an aside, said, "Fox News".

It's a little like wrestling on TV - all scripted with a predetermined outcome. You have the "good guy" and "bad guy" wrestlers who (just like our politicians) pretend to hate each other, but are friendly behind the scenes. You have the announcers (just like our media) who are part the act, trying to create excitement narrating the stunts. Then there's the audience. Most people know wrestling is scripted. Some know and watch for the entertainment value. But...there are some people who are dumb enough to think it's real. The MSM is a little more sophisticated and each plays to a specific audience. It's more difficult to discern the con, but if you watch enough of it with an open mind, you'll see the contradictions. Fox may be worse than CNN, MSNBC and the others. They pretend to be conservative, but are just as much behind the establishment swamp rats as any other news company.

It's always the same with these "debates"- Democrat candidate and moderator vs. Republican. Chris Wallace and Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump; Candy Crowley and Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney... To hell with these "debates."

Fox sucks almost as bad as CNN and ABC. You want unbiased news, dont go to fox. Find a source that isnt bought and paid for.

when your 40-50 pts up.. why would you?..

they desperately need one of then jack smith charges to stick to expel him from the repubs and hand desantis the nomination..

Well, Trump's failures are in leadership. While we all cheer the way he puts the Democrats and their media pals in their place, he struggles to bring anti-Democrats and Republicans to form a team. On day one of the Trump administration, Jeff Sessions fell into the Democrats' trap. Then Trump failed to clean out Democrat loyalists from the DOJ, FBI, etc.and as a result, the Trump administration wasted the years defending itself from insiders in the administration.

Than he failed to keep disloyal Republicans at a distance and failed to bring in Democrats to replace the obstructionist Republicans, and as a result the American people were struck with Obamacare.

While I love the anti-Democrat attacks, there's the leadership that's missing. I'm now 100% behind Doug Burgum and 85% Tim Scott. Two men with demonstrated leadership abilities and who appeal to most Americans and not just to us anti-Democrats because they can leap above the name-calling and "gotcha" politics. See what Doug did for North Dakota and listen to what he's saying, and the best part is that he can say it without insulting all Democrats.

Neil is and always has been a 'Never Trumper'

Well, since you ask...

I don't watch TV news anymore. In fact, it's difficult to find ANY news ANYwhere that is actual news and not 'entertainment' designed to arouse negative emotions to feed the voracious Algorithm Beast.

That said, I can find precious few positive things to say about Trump, myself.

Just remember all the mainstream media is owned by six corporations, who all work in synchronisation, that’s why they all use the same narrative when reporting anything, Fox News has been paid opposition for many years, just to make the masses think it’s not all one sided, basically we’ve all got state tv,

I would not trust one.😡

Did I miss something? What conviction are they referring to?
