GOP debate

[jms62]

Too bad the Fox reporters are from the TMZ school of journalism, making the debate about them and not the candidates. They seemed to get as much air time as the candidates and the "When did you stop beating your wife" line of questioning is getting old. Report the ****ing news don't try and make the news.

With ten candidates, it's also an impossible format. I don't understand how 30 seconds or 60 seconds to answer a question is expected to inform anyone, especially when every candidate is given a different question. As one of my favorite ex-writers for Gawker tweeted, the question about whether God spoke to them was an excellent way to ferret out which candidates have schizophrenia. But only two or three of them got to answer it. Oh, did I want to hear Trump's answer! But, dream denied.

That said, it got huge ratings, so I guess the execs at FOX knew what they were doing.

Oh, and this piece of delightful news:
