You Know The Only Reason Fox Relaxed The Debate Policy Is So.....

they can get more soundbytes and clips from all of the candidates. Do you think they'd like to get a soundbyte from Carly about Hillary. Your darn tootin!!!!

I'm also thinking that the Repugs didn't want to piss off the money backers for those 2nd tiered candidates as they might need them going forward.

That's what this is about.

I think it's because FOX is being called out for pressuring candidates to spend on national conservative media, mainly FOX News, as a way to bolster their national poll standings.

This whole process just reeks of a strong arm tactic to force ad revenue to go FOX's way!

If the rules are becoming relaxed, it's because the polls are starting to solidify and soon, the window to buy ads to affect the polls will narrow and close--meaning that there is no longer the incentive to pay FOX to broadcast ads for them.
