6:05Now PlayingWe are one day out from the first Republican debates. Fox News has created their own rules/criteria for which ten candidates will make the cut for the main event. They wasted little time breaking their own rules when they decided they liked John Kasich a little more than Rick Perry. John Iadarola (Think Tank) and Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
""This is nuts. I can’t believe they did this," Maddow said. "I mean, I get that Fox News only wants to have 10 candidates on the stage. They know, and everybody knows, that arbitrarily setting this 10-candidate cutoff when you’ve got 17 people running is gonna have politically-fatal consequences for if not all, at least most of the candidates who make that top 10."
Fox said it would use the five most recent national polls to determine which candidates would compete in the main debate, and the channel ultimately calculated that Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) would make it into the debate, pushing Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) into the second-tier debate.”*
