Fox News didn't show the last 10 minutes of last night's debate in NH.

[Eric J in MN]

Fox News said, "we'll return to the debate after this commercial break."

But instead of showing the last 10 minutes of the debate, they showed Fred Barnes criticizing the Democrats.

If you want to read the last 10 minutes of the debate, go to this webpage and scrool down to the middle.

By the way, did any channel show the whole debate?

1. Faux News (I mean Fox News) Sucks

[boxster]

2. Actually, they came on and said, "That concludes the Fox News portion...

of this debate" or something very similar, then they went to the bitching and moaning.

3. I thought I heard fox say that they were going to a commercial and then

back for the last 15 minutes of the debate, but they did not go back to the debate. They only showed their mouth pieces cutting down the Democrats.
RE-ELECT A DEMOCRAT 2004!!!!

5. Thats what I saw, and the reason they did it was because

they did not want to broadcast the final or closing statements knowing they would include negative remarks about their favorite (*).

4. Is there any chance the DNC would protest this outrage?

Are they aware of what happened?

6. ABC's Nightline cut the debate in half!

I only got to see an hour (that had obviously been edited) when I taped it last night.

7. I thought my Tivo screwed up! Thanks for explaining. n/t

[mohc]

8. That's what I thought happened

This is absurd. Why no criticism from CNN or MSNBC which love to bitch about Fox?

9. Doesn't the DNC Imposes Rules On Hosts?

Something about the debate last night was very odd.

You had basically four panelists who took FOREVER to spit out the question - ie, frame the issue in their own way and then answer it.

You had several instances where they screwed up, skipping people, not knowing who was to go next etc.

The panelists were skewed in the sense that they were all republicans - no molly ivins, no paul krugman, no mainstream person, no women for heaven sakes. No interaction among the participants, no audience questions (always better, substantive)

Why is the DNC allowing Democrats to be subjected to this nonsense. Watch the negotiations when Bush is supposed to debate.
