Wow. Just wow. NRO blogger, Stephen Spruiell, has put together a brilliant video to compare the quality of questions from the MSNBC debate versus the Fox News debate. I’ve been trying to think all day of a way to make this comparison in words, but when I found Spruiell’s blog post & video this evening, I was blown away. I couldn’t have done any better than he did, and you should share this with everyone you know.

Here’s an excerpt from Spruiell’s post:

So how do the questions from the first GOP debate, moderated by MSNBC and the Politico.com, match up to the questions posed by the FOX News panel in the second debate?

It’s not even close. Opening up the Media Blog vault and reviewing the first GOP debate after having just watched the second was a revealing exercise. I think the MSNBC/Politico questions actually got stupider with age.

By contrast, the FOX News questions were serious and the questioners tenacious in pursuing answers. Even the questions that viewers submitted to FOX via e-mail were far better than “What do you dislike most about America?” and the other nonsense that got past the Politico’s electronic gatekeepers.

This also might explain the DNC’s recent decision, according to MediaBistro, to shun Fox News altogether in their future debate schedule.

The Democratic National Committee has officially announced “the dates, media sponsors and cities for the six DNC sanctioned debates.”

CNN and NBC get two and ABC and CBS get one each. Fox News isn’t included. Here’s the list:

July 23, 2007: YouTube/Google and CNN in Charleston, SC

August 19, 2007: ABC in Des Moines, IA

September 26, 2007: NBC News/MSNBC in Hanover, NH

October 30, 2007: NBC News/MSNBC in Philadelphia, PA

November 15, 2007: CNN in Las Vegas, NV

December 10, 2007: CBS in Los Angeles, CA

Just can’t take the possibility they might actually be asked a tough question, can they? For anybody who may be even THINKING about voting Democrat, you’ve got to ask yourself this one question: If the Democrats are afraid to answer honest, tough questions by conservatives, how then will they deal with Al Qaeda, Iran, North Korea, Syria, China, et. al? Oh, that’s right… they’ll just appease them. It is, after all, America’s fault, isn’t it? Besides, the real answer is…they have no answer; only criticism of President Bush. Last time I checked, extreme hatred of one person or party never accomplished anything at all. It only makes people more bitter about life in general.

Oh, and one last “funny” from the debate last night. I caught this still shot of the panel (Hume, Wallace and Goler) after Ron Paul’s assertions that the U.S.A. was somehow partly responsible for 9/11.

Heh. That’s how I look every time I hear Pelosi or Reid speak.
