Obama, Hillary, and Edwards all don't want a debate with Fox News.
I can understand why some don't like Fox.
It shows me that they don't want to face tough questions.
If they can't face Fox how are they going to handle tougher question if any of them become president?

You are correct in saying they fear tough questioning. Many on the left accuse Fox of having a very conservative bias, but the point being is that the President of the United States doesn't represent just one political philosophy but all of them. If they believe it is a conservative network, they should debate there so that they can get opposing questions and see what others outside of their realm aren thinking about.

I have to admit that this question reminds me of all the criticism President Bush faced when he said, "No," to the NAACP. They had insulted him, called him names, spread unfounded rumors about him, and otherwise acted quite seditiously. Then they asked him to come speak.
He would have been foolish to accept, yet they then used his refusal as another way to try to undermine him and complain.
It was disgusting and contemptible.
If Fox were to do the same thing to the three candidates you mention I would say the same thing.
I understand their hesitation, though Fox is far from seditious.
I won't vote for any candidate that is seditious. I hope for a democrat that isn't so I can vote for them.
I wish the same for the Republicans.
Most of all, ahead of my party, I want a person who is an American, first, in office.

Hillary is frightened of answering hard questions. Trump will bypass on any community: CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS. Republican applicants have debated on CNN, PBS, NBC, etc. (all trending liberal). Trump has been interviewed hundreds of cases on all the networks. i'm no fan of Donald Trump, yet a minimum of he's keen to stand puzzling questions from liberal newshounds. Hillary will only bypass to secure venues. what's she frightened of? perhaps questions approximately her emails scandal?

Fox does not so much report news as express opinion. They are not interested in the opinions of Democrats, but prefer to weigh their comments against them. They have consistently insulted and slandered Senator Obama, just as they have insulted other members of minority groups.
The Nevada Democratic Party wanted to host a debate broadcast by Fox, but the grassroots membership opposed it. Obama, Clinton, and Edwards went along with the wishes of their constituents.

Foxs news might exposed the weaknesses of Obama and Hillary and it is the reason that they are afraid to have a debate.

Obama was right to ignore the HELL out of Fox News. He doesn't owe them anything including his attention!
All three candidates were right to refuse participation in Fox's 'program' and it pisses me off even more to know I actually agree with Fox News on Imus comments and those who are hypocritically attacking him for using 'black slag'.
THAT pisses me off! Hell MUST be frozen over because I never thought I'd see the day where I would agree with these bigots!

Yes. They're afraid of answering straight questions.

Well, the way I see it, if you have something to hide, don't go on Fox News. So, that tells it all.
I am a Bill O'Reilly fan, he should be our next president.
Now, to any thumbs down, it tells me you are someone very naive. Don't like hearing, "telling it like it is."

Don't worry. If that ppl are that stupid to vote for either of these two, then they deserve what they get. Of course they'll be the first in line screaming about the socialistic government they so seem to want right now. When you cry for help and no one comes, just remember you brought it upon yourselves.

Fox News is the 'Creator' of Republican Presidents.
Supporters of Hillary, Obama and Edwards are not idiots, therefore Fox News doesn't influence their votes or their choices.
