Trump says he won’t participate in GOP debate on Fox News

[kpete]

GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump backing out of Fox News' debate is a damning indictment of the creature that the right-wing media helped create and that the rest of the media enabled for far too long.

Not only did Fox News and the rest of the right-wing media manufacture many of the lies that serve as the refrain of Trump's campaign, but they also fomented much of the racial antipathy and sexism that Trump is using to fuel his campaign.

1. So, the big negotiator, who will make a better deal with Iran and make Mexico pay for his wall...

cannot make a deal with Fox News?

2. We should be (quietly) applauding Trump on this, not mocking him.

Faux is one of the pillars of the republican propaganda machine. One of their own is calling them on it for all to see. This splits the right wing.

What Trump is doing is worth $100 million in Democratic ads.

3. The left hates Trump so much they're siding with the GOP establishment (Fox News).

All this does is make it more likely that a Republican wins the presidency because Trump was unelectable. Fox knows that and thats why theyve been trying to knock him out of the race.

They'll take out Cruz next and ultimately what this leads to is Rubio being the nominee and he has a very good chance of winning the election.
