Not too liberal, just not radical enough.

The GOP base wants a more radicalized news source???? Jesus. And here I thought I was doing some good in switching the TVs in waiting rooms from Fox to CNN. I think there ought to be a firepit network -- live from a gigantic firepit somewhere in the Southland. Continuous dumping of Dem. campaign bios into the pit to keep the flames stoked. Loud continuous commentary by bare-chested (literally bare-chested) Hannity, O'Reilly, Man-Boobs Limbaugh. They can growl at each other when one of them goes even an inch off the reservation. Every so often, to keep it interesting, someone gets pitched into the firepit. NRA-shot game to be roasted over the fire. That, I would watch.

Some are calling it a huge blunder, others a stroke of genius. It is clear that it is a high risk gamble.
If he boycotts the debate, and goes on to win in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, he'll have shown the impotence of both the right wing media and the republican establishment, and everyone will have to come crawling to him. Also, he'll defacto have disposed of the entire (still bloated) republican field, by turning them and their debate into an irrelevant sideshow.
Does he own his own news network? It is likely that if his gambit works, it would be good business for him to get himself one.

"Don't Trust sources that fail to repeat what one reads on twitter or face book." What Errol Flynn would have said if those things existed in his time.

FoxNews isn't "too liberal", they are too much part of the machine. They view Fox News as having an agenda with Corporate interests. Oddly enough, they would be right, however, their problem is that the Network hasn't fixated itself to Trump.
What we still don't know is how well the polls translate to a Caucus or a Primary vote. I ponder how many of his supporters are even registered Republicans instead of unregistered voters because they haven't voted since Wallace.
He has nothing to gain being in the debate. In fact, he can continue his galvanizing 'Us verses Them' dialogue. When Trump said he could shoot someone, he was right, his fans (that is what they are not supporters), are wildly irrational. They are uber partisan sport fans, who yell at the screen over every foul called against their team, about how the NBA is fixing this game and that is why they are losing. They'll eat this shit up. It think of the song Cult of Personality. That is Trump. His fans love him for being him. They don't give a fuck what he believes because they think he represents their attitudes and he is thumbing his nose at the establishment (at least as much as a Billionaire can).

When about 1/3 of Republicans still think Obama is a Muslim and not an American, Fox is simply not crazy enough.There is no way of telling what people on the right really want any more. It's almost as if they just don't give a shit any more and want to set fire to everything. It's more like the right is having an infantile screaming tantrum.

What do you expect?
FOX News and the rest of the rightist propaganda outlets have been working very hard to radicalize one third of the American population. They were successful. Now they either have to radicalize further to keep up with their base, or become irrelevant. They're lying in a bed of their own making.

It's astonishing how far to the extreme right American conservolibertarians have gone. Now even FOX News and actual Nazis are "too liberal" for them.

Oh, come on now--they use hotties to distract simple minds from the inconsistencies they spew. I wouldn't call those hotties.
