Plus, Fox has proven one thing over and over again: People want to see a fight, they want to see people being nasty to each other; they want to see a bloodbath. Would you rather see someone nodding politely and stating, "Oh, well, I see your point, however..", or "Oh, well, I can see how you could have such a stand, being that you misidentified Syberia as the capital of the former USSR." 'That was the third grade!' "It just makes me wonder how capable you are, that's all."

It's all a game of 'who wins'; a debate isn't even a debate, anymore, it's a case of who's quicker on their feet. May facts arisen will not even have to do with what they're debating. Perception is truth; the faster is the winner.
