That was proven by the way each network hosted a presidential debate.
Whereas liberal Democrat political commentator Chris Matthews wasted everyone's time with silly and downright stupid questions and his goofy attitude, the legitimate journalists at Fox News asked serious, hard-hitting, intelligent and interesting questions and actually carried themselves with a sophisticated attitude and demeanor.
Here's a video montage highlighting the idiocy of MSNBC and the sophistication of Fox News:

I agree that Fox news did a better job and that the questions were much better. Chris Mathews asked the most lame debate questions I've ever heard "Do you want Bill Clinton back in the White House?" Seriously Chris? Thats your question? Rudy made a fool of himself demonstrating that he had not bothered to read the 9/11 Commission Report by saying he had never heard that al Qeada attacked us because we were over there.
Okay, Rudy here it is from the 911 Commission Report: "Bin Laden's Appeal to the Islamic World" p.48.
"[Bin Laden] promises to restore pride to people who consider themsleves the victims of successive foreign masters...He also stresses grievances against the United States widely shared in the Muslim world. He inveighed against the presence of United States troops in Saudi Arabia, the home of Islam's holiest sites. He spoke of the suffering of the Iraqi people as a result of sanctions imposed after the Gulf War, and he protested U.S. support of Israel," (pp.48-49).
According to the Report American's have asked "Why do they hate us?" Al-Qaeda has answered saying "that America had attacked Islam; America is responsible for all conflicts involving Muslims," and "America is also held responsible for the governments of Muslim countries, derided by al Qaeda as 'your agents'," (p.51).
In other words, as Ron Paul said, a contributing factor to them attacking us was we were over there. But Rudy has never heard that before. I think we need a president who has actually read the 9/11 Commission Report.

i agree to the extent that the actual questions and format was better. but as you could tell from the exchange between Guiliani and Paul, the audience was stacked with a bunch of Newt Gingrich neo-cons. i also didnt feel Hannity was objective or even conservative, in his interview afterwards with Ron Paul(although Colmes, for being pretty liberal, atleast seemed to identify with Pauls Libertarian positions). to me, Foxs attempt to discredit and marginalize Ron Pauls support is only serving to reveal their true neo-conservative colors. if they continue to deny congressman Paul exposure, inspite of his relatively successfull polling, i believe they will only aid in facilitating the eventual detachment of legitimate conservatives from the republican party

i wonder if this is a result of an idealogy that approves of the last 50 yrs of foreign policy, some kind of flawed perception that America is entitled and obligated to police the world. IMO thats a view which no worthy republican presidential candidate ought to have

"Fox News Rules & MSNBC Sucks!"
Have you been to their websites? The Fox one is ghastly, so cluttered and so 5 years out of date. It's like the Geocities of news sites.

The point was (at least the point I was agreeing with him on) that the questions at the debate on Fox were far and away better than the questions on MSNBC. The format was also better. I'm not a big fan of Fox Propaganda, but their debates were run better in my opinion. I have no comment on their website.

Quote:Actually Rudy catapulted himself way ahead by providing the perfect response. The foolish response would have been yours – to quote bin Laden as if he is a legitimate source to define US foreign policy. The US brought 9/ll on itself because bin Laden said so. That would have ended your political career right there.

It seems Rudy made a fool out of more than just himself.

But thats not what Paul said. Let me give you an analogy. I walk into a neighborhood controlled by the gang the bloods wearing a blue shirt (which is the color of their rival gang). I get shot. It's not my fault that I was shot, its the fault of the person who shot me and he has no moral or legal righteousness in doing so, but the reason I was shot was because I was wearing a blue shirt. Now I can claim that they shot me because I was white, but they really shot me because I was wearing a blue shirt. If I don't listen to the reason they told me that they shot me and just insist that it was because I was white, I might make the same mistake again. still, its not my fault, it is the fault of the shooter. Paul did not blame America, but it behooves us to understand the mentallity of those who mean us harm and their reasons.
