"... SEPTEMBER 29, 2004 – It's truly hard to imagine.

We've warned again and again that, above all else, the Kerry campaign had to guard against FOX News getting its hands on the debates. We told you the Bush team would work any angle possible to get FOX involved, and that if the Kerry campaign allowed this, we've warned for months now, they would lose the election. All seemed safe, as the moderators and hosts for the agreed to debates did not include FOX in any way, and it seemed unthinkable the Kerry campaign would allow FOX into the mix.

But now we learn, as reported by CNN, FOX News will be entirely in control of the camera coverage for the entire media during the most important of the debates, the very first one scheduled for Thursday night.

If the Kerry camp allows this, they will likely lose the election..."

1. HOW DO YOU FIGHT FOX?

Oh, yeah. Why then did Kerry team agree to it. I still can't figure that out. So it's a little late to complain now. What's a girl to do????????????

2. This is not confidence building if what I think happened happened.

Did the Kerry campaign agree to a Jim Baker-lawyered contract giving FoxNews a monopoly on the camera because they thought the contract would force FoxNews to abide to limitations on face shots. Have they not been paying attention? These people are worse than weasels. FoxNews didn't sign that contract. What made the Kerry Campaign think they would abide to any of the elements agreed upon?

Please tell me they didn't fall for this. Please, please!

3. I posted about this last night on DU and was surprised by the lack of

responses. I'm glad to see it's not just me that's freaking out about this.

4. Help me remember--didn't Fox orchestrate a bush appearance

a few months ago where bush walked into a room at precisely the time Fox was coming on? I forget the details, but I think Brit Hume was involved.

Fox CANNOT be the network to show us the debate. They are not a legitimate network at least pretending to be objective. Why don't we have Michael Moore man the pool camera with Al Franken moderating? Because it would seem partisan!
