Turn about is fair play, it seems, as the Democratic Party has banned the notoriously biased FOX entertainment network from playing a part in the Democratic primary debates.

This comes in response to Fox News' alarmingly close relationship with President Donald Trump and near unfaltering pro-Republican coverage of political news.

Despite being called "Fox News", it's important to note that Fox hosts are mostly pundits and have no reason to present facts as they are. Many of the Fox personalities have been shown to spin news coverage by telling half truths and flat out lies.

The move to ban them from the debates is not only a wise one, but precedented one as President Donald Trump has banned other news outlets from his own media events.

In response, Fox "News" has protested the choice citing the journalistic integrity of a few of its agents, including Chris Wallace.

President Trump has insisted that he'll ban "liberal" news outlets from participating in the presidential debates, a promise that holds no water since Trump has no authority over that. They are publicly funded events.

Trump's growing authoritarianism is getting alarming. I guess Fox will have to settle for giving soft ball questions to King Cyrus. That means we can't talk about the record deficit or the recent spike in unauthorized border crossings. Sad.
