Fox is not showing the debate tonight?!! A baseball game instead?

[DebJ]

After the first debate, Fox was bragging about how they were the number one cable station watched by viewers of the debate on cable.

I guess they are really afraid that this debate on domestic issues will prove Bush to be a really dumb ass.

I find this incredible!

[The Backlash Cometh]

I KNOW this can't be true?

Oh, Sweet Basil. If true, they probably figured out that most of Bush's loyal constituents watch FoxNews, so it's actually in their favor for those voters to miss the debates and have them tune in for the spin only.

1. My thoughts exactly, "..they are really afraid that this debate on

domestic issues will prove Bush to be a really dumb ass."

2. they did the same thing last week i think

3. Baseball always takes precedence over debates

That was the case in 2000 as well.

Sinclair, on the other hand, is going to preempt the first game of the World Series on its Fox affiliates for its stupid 'documentary'.

4. Fox TV is different from Fox News.

Fox TV typically doesn't show the debates like WB and UPN don't.

but FoxNews will be all over it like flies on sh*t. i can guaran-damn-tee that.

5. Whoa, there big fellas,,

FOX News (we distort you decide, Hannity, O'Leilly, etc) will be showing the debate. Fox Network (24, the O.C., When Dingos Attack) will have the ball game

[JVS]

6. It is an important game

[951]

7. I believe they are purely thinking with their pockets not politics

[Egalitariat]

8. FoxNews is the #1 cable station (Nielsen). Broadcast Fox is showing...

the baseball game.

Debates are for the undecided. I'm decided. I'm watching baseball tonight and voting straight Democratic in November.

9. Come on-the BB schedule was set way before the debate schedule

think first, post second

[newsguyatl]

10. lol, fox television and fox news are two separate entities

[rinsd]

11. Well.....

There's FoxNews which is on Cable

There's Fox Network which is a broadcast network.

There's FX a related Fox Network cable channel

And there's FoxSports which is another cable channel.

Fox Network and FoxSports will be having the games on. FoxNews I would imagine will carry the debate.

12. Previous debates?

I think Fox Network (Broadcast) carried those. Giving up on their boy?
