“I watched about the first hour of it and then I thought I was getting stupider, so I turned it off,” said Fox’s Chris Wallace on yesterday’s Fox & Friends regarding the recent Democratic debate on rival network CNN. “I should say ‘even stupider.’ But that’s more a commentary on CNN than it is on the Democrats.”

“What is the reluctance to let one candidate engage another candidate?” FOX anchor Shepard Smith then asked. “It seemed like there was a buzzer going to go off every time things got real.

“FOX, I have to say, I think we’re smarter.” Wallace replied. “We let the guy talk for a minute, at the end of the minute the bell rings, and that’s it. You’ve got a minute and you can do with it what you want. But instead we have Wolf Blitzer every 30 seconds going ‘Okay, okay, okay.’”
