That said, I despise televised "debates" in general; I would rather see candidates actually debate the issues than answer newspeoples' loaded questions.

Agreed!
I would actually prefer that the Dems go into FOX's house, and call them out on live TV. Stare the lion in the face, so to speak. Show some back bone and some convicitons.
However, I think this is a good thing too. It sends the right message. There was no real pressure on the campaigns to do this, and I find that to be a positive sign. FOX has been getting away with their PR campaign for the right for waaaaay too long, despite all the charges abound that the media is a liberal one. It's high time someone called them on their BS, and the fact that Edwards led the charge, and they did so in a dignified manner is encouraging. At the very least it makes FOX look like what they are, and not what they portray themselves to be...
