CBC May Partner With FNC For 2 Debates

“The Congressional Black Caucus has given two of its four scheduled presidential debates to CNN but said it is ‘in discussions’ with Fox News to sponsor two as well,” Variety reports. “The CBC is hosting two debates for Democratic presidential aspirants and two for Republicans for the 2008 cycle and had been seeking network sponsors to cover costs and broadcast the debates.”
