“When open-borders media are in charge of debates, voters lose.”

Conservative commentator and best-selling author Michelle Malkin slammed Fox News on Twitter for the network’s decision to allow someone who entered the country illegally to participate as a questioner in tomorrow night’s Republican presidential debate.

Conservative commentator and best-selling author Michelle Malkin slammed Fox News on Twitter for the network’s decision to allow someone who entered the country illegally to participate as a questioner in tomorrow night’s Republican presidential debate.

Malkin tweeted: “FoxNews debate questioner Dulce Candy was an illegal immigrant. I’m sure her q will be fair.”

“When open-borders media are in charge of debates, voters lose,” Malkin later tweeted– explaining why the interests of American victims of open borders immigration policies go largely unrepresented at presidential debates.

As Malkin highlights in her new book Sold Out: How High-Tech Billionaires & Bipartisan Beltway Crapweasels Are Screwing America’s Best & Brightest Workers, Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch is the co-chair of one of the most powerful open borders immigration lobbying firms in the country, the Partnership for a New American Economy.

As Breitbart News has previously reported, this undisclosed conflict of interest may perhaps explain the treatment GOP frontrunner Donald Trump has received from the network.

Via his immigration lobbying firm, Murdoch has endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)’s 2013 amnesty bill, as well as Rubio’s 2015 immigration expansion bill know as the Immigration Innovation Act. Murdoch has also articulated his support for Rubio’s desire to give citizenship—and, by extension, voting rights and welfare access–to illegal immigrants.

Malkin points out that while someone who entered the country illegally will be represented in the Fox News debate, American citizens harmed by the nation’s open borders immigration policies are unlikely to be represented.

“Illegal alien & Muslim activist get key roles at FoxNewsGOP debate. Victims of illegal alien crime & jihad shut out,” Malkin tweeted.

By contrast, throughout his campaign, Donald Trump has sought to give voice to the victims of illegal alien crime. As Laura Wilkerson, whose son was tortured to death by an illegal immigrant, said in her Congressional testimony last year, “I thank you, Mr. Trump, for getting a message out about the nation… that countless families like my own have been trying to say for five to six years. It feels good to be heard.”

Malkin also observed that it is unclear whether American Disney workers– who were laid off and forced to train their lower-paid H-1B foreign worker replacements–will be given a voice at upcoming GOP debates.

“Will Disney’s layoffs of US workers forced to train H-1B replacements come up at ABC News GOP debate in NH?” Malkin tweeted.

Interestingly, Disney CEO Bob Iger co-chairs the Partnership for a New American Economy along with Rupert Murdoch.

On Youtube, Dulce Candy—who will join Fox’s Megyn Kelly in submitting a question for GOP candidates tomorrow night— tells viewers how she and her family climbed fences, waded across a river, and hid from “la migra” in order to sneak across the nation’s border.

Candy described illegally entering the country as an “incredible experience” that she is glad she will be able to tell her child about one day:

    It was just such an incredible experience, that I look back at now, and I feel like having that story to tell my son Isaac is going to be really, I don’t know, it’s just a nice thing. It’s not a nice thing for it to happen, but it just– I feel like it does make me to the person that I am today just because after everything that I went through and to see where my life is now.

Malkin tweeted, “An illegal border-crosser and a radical Muslim activist walk into the FoxNews GOP debate. This is not a joke.”

For the life of me I cannot recall ever seeing Fox News claim that they were conservative.

What I HAVE seen repeatedly is their claim that they are FAIR and Balanced which is, to a much greater degree than ANYTHING else available, true IMHO!

Trump is doing a great job of exposing just how media drives political discussion and attitudes.

He simply refuses to let media control his message... no matter who it is...

And that is refreshing... even if you don't like the message...

They are absolutely NOT fair and balanced in any way, shape or form.  At least with CNN and MSNBC, you know what you're getting and they don't pretend to be anything other than what they are - a network with a liberal viewpoint.  Fox pretends to be "fair and balanced" while they stab conservatives in the back.  I'd rather deal with the enemy that is coming straight at me, than the one sneaking up behind my back.

Don't tread on me.   8888madkitty

We told you Trump would win - bigly!

I understand that to be your viewpoint Alice!  I just happen to disagree with that!  It is entirely impossible for ANY human being to TOTALLY objective because we all have our built in biases but FOX IS trying , at least to a MUCH greater extent than any of the others, to present BOTH sides of the story!

We report! You decide is a VERY laudable goal IMHO!

=============================

If FOX IS trying, why didn't they just remove Megyn Kelly as a moderator.  It would have taken ONE PHONE CALL by Rupert Murdoch, taking up less than 90 seconds of his time.

He will regret never having made that phone call.

Because Rupert Murdoch isn't about to start letting Donald Trump, or anyone else for that matter, run his business and I applaud him for that!

Why should they remove Kelly?? She hasn't done anything wrong.  Trump attacks her and is doing nothing more than using this ax an excuse and FOX isn't going to allow him to manipulate.  If Trump wasn't worth billions he wouldn't be getting away with the majority of crap that he spews; he would be sued left and right and justifiably so. Trump is nothing but a whining spoiled narcissistic brat.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

ok, ok ...

So Megyn's done nothing wrong.  So Trump attacks her, using her as his scapegoat because he is afraid to debate.  So Trump is trying to manipulate Rupert Murdoch and strongarm him into 'getting his way' on how the debate is moderated.  So Trump is breaking some kind of contract and could be 'sued for millions' for failing to show up at one of Megyn's debates.  So Trump is nothing but a spoiled, narcissistic brat.

SO WHY NOT GET MEGYN KELLY OUT OF THE PICTURE AND * PROVE IT * ONCE AND FOR ALL?
