Republicans Debate on MSNBC; Democrats Run From Fox

Last night the Republican candidates for President of the U.S.A. engaged in a debate on a network most people consider has liberal leanings with a moderator, Chris Matthews, who has deep roots in the Democratic Party. Not so long ago, the Democratic candidates for the same office were unwilling to appear in a debate organized by Fox News and moderated by Brit Hume. Draw your own conclusions. Were the Democrats afraid of the questions that would be asked, and, if so, what does this say about their ability to deal with the likes of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Kim Jong-il? Were the Democrats trying to injure Fox News? If so, what does this say about their commitment to free speech?
