Fair & Balanced Debates

May 7th, 2007

It was long ago that Democrats were turning their noses up at debates hosted by FOX News citing the anything but friendly treatment Democrats receive from the media outlet. Now Rudy Giuliani has called into question the ‘but I said at the time when Democrats first started their rants against FOX hosted debates that it was the worst position to take. They could only be helped by heading to a FOX audience and getting new exposure. Frankly if they aren’t willing to take tuff questioning or deal with tuff commentary surrounding the event, they shouldn’t be running for president.

More importantly though that position opened up the floodgates for Giuliani’s stance. If the major Democratic candidates refuse to sit with FOXS news, why should Republicans sit for the network that hosts Olbermann or for PBS or Air America or any other media outlet they see as discriminating?

I think its just as silly for Giuliani as I do the Dems but with that said he now has a right to demand only Republican leaning coverage, its what the Dems asked for first.
