Do not make this a Trump issue, so please, without sarcasm if possible, give an opinion on the question posed above.

Here is the answer, your premise is completely wrong. Fox is a conservative network, MSNBC is a progressive one. CNN and the three traditional networks are middle of the road. It seems that right wingers see the non-Fox media as all liberal and the left wingers see the non-MSNBC as all conservative. So your premise is wrong, and your information is wrong.
Here are the networks hosting GOP debates:
Aug 2015 Fox News
Sep 2015 CNN
Oct 2015 CNBC
Nov 2015 Fox Business
Dec 2015 CNN
Jan 2016 Fox Business
Jan 2016 Fox News
So where do you see MSNBC in that list? Nowhere.
Where have the Democratic debates been?
Oct 2015 CNN
Nov 2015 CBS
Dec 2015 ABC
Jan 2016 NBC
Nothing on MSNBC either. And when the Fox News questions, from a right wing news organization, are too mean for the right wing candidates? How are they going to find a bunch of friendlier people to ask questions than that.
Your GOP candidates are complaining about the FOX news questions. They haven't begun to get the MSNBC questions or any liberal questions.
