They are serving you, the viewer. Those who watch Fox don't want to see the Democratic response. Therefore, it was not shown. I think you can tell from some of those that posted that they feel hearing both sides of an arguement is unnecessary. It also explains why those who get there news from Fox are uninformed.

It is fitting that the right give up even the symbolism of real debate since they have done their best best to drown it in the bathtub not just on radio and TV, but at the university, and in the halls of Congress.

The FOX affiliate in Chicago airs one national news show a week, for an hour, and that's the FOX News Sunday morning show hosted by Chris Wallace. The rest of the news broadcasts on the FOX affiliate are all local, and they only run one hour a day (9:00pm CT). Everybody knows the rest of the coverage was going to be on FOX News Channel anyway, and people could go there for Reed's (pathetic) response. I don’t see what the problem is.
