Egos, Platitudes, and Will They Debate

This an opinion piece, my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blospot.com.

...And something not to be forgotten, lest they get lost in the shuffle, is that besides these two key players other candidates are jockeying to be their party's nominee. And it's these candidates who truly need to be seen debating for the act of debating itself will test their performative aspect of leadership, their mental and physical stamina, as well as we seeing and hearing how they act and how they react when up against their political opponents.

Remember, the simple act of debating allows we voters the chance to witness our candidate of choice in a one-on-one situation of sorts, and while listening to their words we also get to see how well said candidate acts under highly spotlighted stress. The last thing our country needs right now is yet another hotheaded nominee from either side of the aisle who acts solely based upon pent up emotions instead of by using simple common sense coupled with tangible logic...two things we should demand of whomever are the official final nominees...

Fox News' Rating Slump Continues With One Network Claiming Dominance

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

 

There’s no sugar-coating it; Fox News is still reeling from its disastrous move to dismiss Tucker Carlson. The longtime host was a ratings king for the news network amid their months-long legal fight with Dominion Voting Systems, the company accused by many of rigging the 2020 election in Joe Biden’s favor. They slapped Fox with a $1.6 billion lawsuit, which was set to hear opening arguments before the network brass opted to settle for $787 million. It’s a decision that caused heartburn among liberal America, who were lusting for a courtroom battle. The legal action was seen as one that could deliver a tactical nuclear strike against Fox News. 

 

In the aftermath, Carlson got cut, with much speculation surrounding his dismissal. Some of it revolved around editorial clashes with producers and the brass. Still, The New York Times alleges, through leaked text messages, that the Fox News host’s indelicate remarks about the January 6 riot on the day of the incident, and the commentaries that followed, were the impetus for network heads to pave the way for Tucker’s exit. The ratings dip was immediate, and now it’s become more pronounced. Read more and see tweet here.
