    I don't know the context of these photos, but the kids standing next to Huckabee look like they've been told they'd be shipped off to work at the factory.

    Don’t even waste time watching that sellout. He dreams of swallowing Trump’s scrotum. Or he uses MAGA for views. Nobody watches Faux Business.

    That's exactly right. He just wants a platform where nobody fact checks him live, and he is allowed to spew his lies and vulgarity nonstop, with his group of paid supporters cheering him on. Fox lost all credibility years ago when they repeated and echoed Trump's lies over and over. It's just a rightwing propaganda network now.

    Trump's just scared to do as he promised before. Anytime, anywhere, any place. So, if he won't debate on ABC as scheduled, then he's obviously scared as hell. ABC, NBC, or CBS would be the best networks for any debate you don't want an obviously biased news station covering. Trump just wants his own propaganda network doing it now, so he can call the shots and lie his ass off.

    I think Fox News hosts the debates very well. I don't understand the issue. No one will stop fact checkers lol. It's not like the networks you mentioned aren't biased.

    There’s been a major split in Fox News between the opinion personalities and the more news focused host. This has been exasperated with the departures of Chris Wallace and Shep Smith.

    This article explains Trump's debate cowardice best...

    In May, Biden’s and Trump’s campaigns agreed on the format for two presidential debates. And after Biden’s disastrous first debate performance, Trump didn’t express hesitation over the second debate scheduled for September and moderated by ABC News.

    Trump isn’t even pretending the debate is entirely off. He has instead proposed a new date and — more important — a new format. The debate, he says, should be held on Trump-worshipping turf at Fox News, and it should take place before a “full arena audience.”

    Trump’s new debate terms give the game away. Now that he fears embarrassment against an energetic new candidate who can communicate far more effectively than her predecessor, he wants to rig the environment with moderators and audience members who are far more likely to make him look more competent, reasonable and well-liked than his opposition.

    This ploy tracks with Trump’s prior attitudes toward debates. While Trump was gunning for months for a debate with Biden, he refused to participate in a single debate in the Republican presidential primaries. Rather than participate for the “good of the country” or even just his party, he sought to delegitimize the Republican debates and even held events simultaneously to draw viewers away from them. His goal was clear: to sideline the opposition and turn the primaries into a coronation. And the result was equally clear: Trump showed disdain for the idea of public accountability and informing the public about his record or future policies.

    Faux News will not fact check Trump. That is why he goes on there.

    I think it's a fine pick. I would've gone with Shapiro or Kelly, but Walz is a solid choice who speaks a good bipartisan message while also getting things done for ordinary working folks.

    Haha, very biased article. Trump agreed to debate Biden twice. I am sure he still would but yall pulled him. If you look at the debates fox news has hosted, they have been better than the others with less bias. Their moderators like Baier and McCollum aren't biased like that clown Tapper. If the last second candidate wants a debate, there is an opportunity. I am guessing she doesn't want to have to talk policy based her reluctance to this point.

    Buddy I think any non right wing human is going to believe abc is a more objective medium than Fox News.

    Are you gaslighting? Or do you believe what you are typing now?

    If Kamala Harris dipped out of the orignial debate and requested a MSNBC hosted one, I would laugh. Everyone should laugh. That would be pathetic.

    There isn't a more rightwing biased network than Fox on major National networks. ABC, NBC, and CBS weren't the ones spreading and echoing Trump's propaganda and lies nonstop like Fox did. Trump knows that, I know that, and so does everyone else. Of course he backed out of the ABC debate. He's scared of Kamala, and Fox is more than willing to arrange his audience and format to coddle his needs. He's a fraud. He won't go on TV without uttering at least 10 flat out lies in 30 minutes of speaking.

    Fox did a good job with a 2020 Presidential debate, with Chris Wallace hosting it. Wallace left Fox News after the 2020 election, stating that Fox no longer cared about the truth. Fox had to pay a $787 million settlement for falsely claiming that Trump won the 2020 election. They no longer have a reputation suitable for hosting a Presidential debate.
