The Only Good Debate Is a Debate on a Network They Trust

You gotta love the Dems.

First, they ran away from debates hosted by FOX News. All the caterwauling at the time was that FOX News wouldn't be "fair" to them. See this as a supposed example of why journalists working for FOX News scare Dems so much.

At the time, I couldn't help but wonder how loudly liberals would whine if Republicans wouldn't debate on NBC or CNN. The shrieking from the left was that they were only interested in "fairness." It was a joke, of course. The examples of supposed "unfairness" to Dems included actually asking them uncomfortable questions that voters want answered.

Now, the DNC has announced the Liberal--er, Democratic presidential debate schedule. Guess what? It's all on CNN and NBC/MSNBC!

Obviously, Dems think they'll get softball questions from both networks and they're probably right. Of course, they'll miss the audience--which includes a lot of Democrats--who watch FOX News, but they aren't worried about a thing like a few votes, right?
