So much for it being the most watched debate. 6.7 saw the FOX one but 7.6 saw the ABC debate.

Someone said it was most watched? I could have told you a broadcast channel debate would be watched more than a cable debate. Still, 6.7 is still a pretty solid performance.

It's not just about that, though. It's also about all the headlines that get created the next day that people read.

Well ABC was network and Fox was cable.

Frank Luntz and FOX crew were pumping it up as "the most watched debate for sure." Except it wasn't.

They had to know that a network debate would draw better. They were being intentionally dishonest. Imagine that.

FOX distorting the truth. Imagine that...
