Fair and Balanced
Obviously, this essay will inevitably look as if it were directed largely at the FOX news conglomerate. "Fair and Balanced" is, after all, their slogan.

So I thought that I would thought I would let the 0.3 people that care see how I would have answered the questions posed to the candidates, and maybe offer a few comments on their answers as well.
