Republicans scared of - a snowman?

The recent Democratic debate with Youtube users asking questions wasn't half bad - naturally there was some filtering through CNN, but otherwise it would have been near chaos.

But now, it's the Republican's turn! Except - they don't seem to want to do it. The best part?

Dems don't want to be asked questions by Fox News.

I don't think it is fear so much as not wanting to be ambushed by left-leaning CNN.

Perhaps - but the Dems have a ligtimate concern with Fox. These are the people who tried to state that Obama was trained in a "Mulsim madrassa", that mislabel pedo homo congressmen as Democrats right before elections, who have every single show be a conservative hit job.

So while CNN might "lean left", they're certainly 90% more "fair and balanced" than Fox's best wet dream.

Now, be nice - I'm sure they didn't want to be embarrassed.

Though - I have been seeing that argument pop up. "B-b-b-but CNN is just as liberal as Fox is conservative!"

Which is blatantly false. Is CNN left leaning? You could possibly make that argument - but on the other hand, they are *miles* away from anything Fox could approach as far as being unbiased. And at least they balance out the hosts - Cooper is fairly moderate with left leanings, with Dobbs being more conservative minded in some things. But compared to Hannity, O'Reilly, or that other guy who looks like a Spike from "Gremlins", CNN is a walk in the park.
