Many broadcast hours and column inches are sure to be used today and tomorrow regarding the decision by Donald Trump to skip the Fox News debate in Iowa.

Predicatively 90% of those reports will most likely circle around a Donald Trump -vs- Megyn Kelly narrative. Obviously that aspect will be the preferred hook used by Fox News to avoid sunlight; it is also profoundly wrong.

Megyn Kelly, and her sidekick Chris Stirewalt are the visible symptom, not the actual underlying issue. Their partnered ‘too-cute-by-half schtick‘ has been ongoing for several months, including the coordinated antics at the last debate, and in the weeks leading up to the last debate; but again, they are the symptom – not the real issue.

However, it’s also more than a little hypocritical for the same republican voices who were shouting at republican nominees in 2011/2012, for walking into traps with CNN’s Candy Crowley and ABC’s George Stephanopolous, to now be clutching their pearls when 2016 republican frontrunner Donald Trump recognizes the construct in Fox News and avoids it.

Chris Stirewalt is the advance guy, the Fox political debate contractor/producer who is in Iowa setting up the parameters. He’s the scout organizing the muslim activist to confront Donald Trump. He’s the guy organizing the Mexican immigrant to question/antagonize the intended target, trump. Stirewalt puts the agenda script together – Ms. Kelly, Mr. Wallace and Mr. Baier execute the production.

I have noted today that FoxNews personalities have been patting themselves on the back continually claiming the network will not be dictated to by any candidate. Such heroism. Reminded me of Watergate.

OTOH, other than earlier today no one has mentioned the death of a fellow American at the hands of the FBI. I haven't watched it every minute, of course, but from what I have seen I've seen nothing.

Has everyone read by now that FOX planned to ambush Trump by springing some Youtube Muslim chick openly hostile to him as a "surprise" moderator? Along with a couple of other Youtube celebs?

Sounds like he wasn't interested in doing The Gong Show and in being Candy Crowlied. IMO, Trump has shown he has a brain in his head by not playing along with this BS.

And as my Italian Gramma would say, "Tanks Gods fer dat!"
