Hopefully they don't follow through with their idiotic ban on media outlets hosting debates.

Why? The war on women narrative originated when Stephanopoulos asked Romney about states being able to ban contraception in a debate. Romney had never even mentioned such a thing in the past. The question was clearly asked to start a narrative about the GOP wanting to ban birth control. In the second general election debate in 2012, Romney spent half the debate arguing with Candy Crowley. The third debate was no better. The GOP doesn't do itself any favors by participating in debates with hyperpartisan moderators. Primary debates should be conducted by Republican moderators. General election debates should be conducted by non-partisan moderators, or at the very least, moderators who have not let their bias show during previous debates.

Because the candidates need to be more exposed to the voters, showing them on Fox News is not exactly exposing them to the voters.

Fox News viewers are the only ones who will vote in Republican Primaries, just as MSNBC viewers are the only people who vote in Democratic Primaries.

I agree, but I doubt the Democratic debates are only going to be on MSNBC.

Assuming there even are any Democratic debates.  If HRC gets no serious challengers, and she leads the token opposition by 60+ points in the polls, then she might refuse to debate.
