Election causes divide among top Fox hosts

CNN's Brian Stelter discusses the Pennsylvania primary elections for the US Senate and governor and how it is splitting two prominent Fox hosts. Stelter also speaks with Politico reporter Holly Otterbein and Philadelphia Inquirer opinion columnist Will Bunch about why some Republican candidates are shutting out the media. "It's certainly a base-riling tactic, but I think it speaks to a real authoritarian turn in the Republican party," Bunch says. #CNN #News

  1. When you avoid debates, you’re one of two things, hiding something or not up to the job.

    1. @Mike S all the more reason to “show up” IF you have valid ideas and arguments. Scaredy Cat.

    2. @Salty senior 64 Awww poor Trump wasn’t allowed to talk over everyone. There are guidelines to any debate that all the participants are aware of. It wasn’t Wallace’s fault Trump couldn’t follow them.

    1. @D.O.A_ Unpossibles There are many more than 2000 mules and indeed donkeys and sheep following the elephant these days. Also an obese orange ape that other apes have disowned.

  2. If mastriani is likely to win the PA governorship, then why would the GOP risk exposing him?….just saying.

  3. The Supreme Court is as hysterical as ‘Saturday Night Live’, but it’s not a comedy; It’s a tragedy! The ‘Great American Tragedy’, brought to you by Moscow Mitch McConnell!

  4. OZ doesn’t even live in Pennsylvania. Why the f doesn’t that alone disqualify him immediately?

    1. He also votes in Turkey, and has ties to their president. Not of the Commonwealth, not of this Nation!

    2. You could ask the IL GOP about Allan Keyes – they rushed him over from the east just barely in time to get him registered against Barack Obama. Keyes promptly proved he was kind of a nut job. It wasn’t even a contest.

  5. Just give more time to the other parties and relegate the republikkkan party to what the green party gets. Which is none, just imagine if the debate was held between the democrats and libertarians. If this is what they want, let them have it, other parties should be given the spotlight now.

    1. You know the same group of donors support the Libertarian party and GOP? The mega donors.

  6. If you don’t call them out, they’ll proclaim they’re being silenced. However, if you do call them out, they’ll proclaim it’s part of some elaborate yet infantile conspiracy to smear them.

    1. @Geman1512 Get off of it. It has nothing to do with her. It’s a lawyer that lied, and if this is all that Durham could dig up then what a waste of taxpayer money!

  7. Have you ever heard of this going on before ,not to ask reporters in their, evading and gaslighting A open debates are the american way. Has been and should be . Open up to the public who elected you

  8. Lol, they took a ‘right turn’. That’s an understatement worthy of attention.
    They went off the map into the frontier lands of stupidity.
    Hold Mah Beeeeeeeeeer🤣🤣

    1. @Sad Kangaroo just wait for all the “deplorables” to vote in November. Get this country back on the right track.

  9. It’s the same reason they can no longer debate,because put to the test they can’t defend there position

    1. Especially when cut off by the bias moderator. You Democrats would never step into a fair debate.

    2. @toxic wastetoid LOL! Let’s play everyone’s favorite YouTube game! Hyper-partisan fool, or troll. Which is it folks? Submit your guess now to be entered into the chance to win a prize!

    3. Remember when Dona Brazile sent a email to Clinton with one of the questions on it before the debate?

  10. They are running for public office, to be a representative for ALL people. They have no right to block people or reporters from attending.

  11. They will want to talk to you once they are nominated for the general election because it will be too hard to win with republicans only and without some independents.They will want to talk then and you can ask them why they were too afraid to talk beforehand. If they wont talk to you then talk ABOUT them and their policies without offering their side; let people know you cannot offer their side because they are afraid to explain their positions. Stop letting politicians frame how you approach journalism. And ask tougher questions with an actual follow up

  12. Moscow Mitch said it best, “We’ll let you know what we’re going to do with the power when we get the power.”

    1. ‘We’ll let you know how much that car is and what the interest rate will be after you sign the contract.’ Yeah.

  13. For a party that doesn’t want people to get censured in social media, they sure do a great job of doing that.

  14. The problem with trying to shout out the media is that by doing that, you only make news outlets that much more determined to keep up to date with you and ask you questions, and by dodging them and not answering their questions, you only make yourself look like you’re trying to hide something. In the end, all you’re really doing is just showing that you’re not as trustworthy as you’d want people to think you were.

  15. “if we can’t agree on basic facts” – there is either acknowledgement of factualities, or denial of reality. No agreement required, no inbetween. Spinning stories and narratives does not, can not, will not ever change facts.

  16. “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.”
    ~Hannah Arendt
