Donald Trump’s campaign said the real estate mogul would negotiate his terms directly with television executives instead of as part of a joint effort with his rivals.
The move by Trump, coming just hours after his and other campaigns huddled in a Washington suburb to craft a three-page letter of possible demands, thwarts an effort to find consensus after what most candidates agreed was a debacle hosted by CNBC last week.
...
While two of Trump’s senior aides — Lewandowski and counselor Donald F. McGahn — attended the Sunday huddle, they were far from ready to sign the letter, and they left the session unconvinced that a cooperative push on the debates would be helpful to protecting Trump’s front-runner status or providing him with the most possible airtime, according to attendees.
Trump will join the Hall of Fame as a celebrity where he will become a peer with the likes of Drew Carey, Pete Rose, Bob Uecker and Mike Tyson. Like him, or hate him, The Donald makes people notice him, and in this way alone, he is a fitting addition into the WWE's Hall of Fame.
. Have you forgotten all the media bashing Obama did?

It's sad to see that the current roster of GOP candidates have been reduced to posturing. Since when did smack talk and media bashing equate to presidential material?
To the GOP: For crying out loud, stop being posers and start acting in a dignified manner more befitting to lead the nation. The world is laughing at you.

So now after years and years of left wingers complaining about fox, bias is suddenly a good thing when left wingers do it. Why am I not surprised?

Herein lies the problem. The Right Wingers think asking tough questions and holding people accountable for the things they say and do is, clearly, evidence of bias. But, in fact, it's called journalism.

I don't think I've every complained about Fox News bias.
It's their bald faced lying and the fact that Fox News went to court. fought for and won, the right to lie on air and fire their reporters who refused to broadcast their lies.
When candidates go around saying and doing stupid bigoted things to attract the support of the radical fringes of society, they should expect to be questioned on their behavior.
I don't think it's "biased" when someone ask you to explain something you actually said and/or did. It might sound stupid and embarrassing but questioning someone on their actual deeds is not bias.
If the Republican candidates don't want to be questioned about stupid crap they've said and done, they should either quit doing and saying stupid crap or be ready to defend their actions.
If anything, this is a pathetic display of the "I can dish it out, but I can't take it" childish mentality of the modern day GOP.
Maybe just maybe, if the other GOP candidates and their campaigns stoop up and questioned some of the crazy crap their adversaries have been doing and saying, they wouldn't have their biggest lunatics leading their polls.

Your entire perception of things (and those of the moderators) is completely shaped by partisan, democrat media. It's all spin and disinformation. You're a victim of what you claim to be against! Everything you're saying could be attributed to democrats, but of course in your mind that's completely different for some reason or another.
"And then it turns out they can’t handle a bunch of CNBC moderators,” Obama said to loud applause from the audience of Democratic donors.
“If you can’t handle those guys, then I don’t think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you.”
Barack Obama
