EDITORIAL: Meltdown over Fox

Network co-sponsors state Democratic debate -- oh my!

Hard-core liberals can't stand the Fox News Channel. Passing a television that's tuned to the conservative favorite forces many of them to close their eyes, cover their ears and scream, "La la la la la la la la la!" Then they dash to their computers and fire off 2,500 e-mails condemning the outlet, none of which are ever read.

But liberals' aversion to Fox News has finally gone over the top. The Nevada Democratic Party had agreed to let the right-tilting network co-sponsor, of all things, an August debate in Reno between Democratic presidential candidates. Party officials were serious about drawing national attention to the state's January presidential caucus, the country's second in the 2008 nominating process. What better way for the party to reach conservative and "values" voters who might consider changing allegiances?



But the socialist, Web-addicted wing of the Democratic Party was apoplectic. The prospect of having to watch Fox News to see their own candidates would have been torture in itself. So they set the blogosphere aflame with efforts to kill the broadcast arrangement, or at least have all the candidates pull out of the event. Before Friday, the opportunistic John Edwards was the only candidate to jump on that bandwagon.

[GCP]

4. I gather this must be a right-wing site?

It's as "fair and balanced" as Faux itself.

17. Largest newspaper in Vegas

The Democratic base of Nevada. *sigh*

[Nikki Stone1]

5. There's a reason we call them "FAUX"

:kick:

[Mojambo]

7. Web-Addicted Socialist

I love it!

[Rockholm]

23. I love it too!

[ray of light]

8. and Fox is so 'balanced" that they're willing to let Air America

moderate with them.

Besides, socialist? I'm a socialist? Clearly that person doesn't know what that word is!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

9. Where does one start...

With a piece of tripe like this? Did someone sneak into the place in the middle of the night and post this, or is this typical of their output. Moreover, if this is typical, and people line their birdcages with this rag, are they in danger of getting charged with animal cruelty?

[AnnInLa]

10. Perhaps they would like the Republic debates on AAR?

I'm sure our Dem candidates would have reached thousands and thousands of those loyal faux viewers...and magically opened their hearts & minds.

[rocktivity]

11. "Hardcore" liberals? Socialists? Are they the same as "extreme" or "far" leftists?

We're not far left--we just look that way because they're so far right! And if we're "web-addicted," it's because we can't find the fairness and balance we need in other on televison or radio.

13. Then again...

some people whine because they think that others standing up for themselves is whining.

[HappyWeasel]

12. So, this guy whines when people tries to stand up for themselves?

This guy is a bonafide crybaby hillbilly.

15. Socialist? Addict?

I prefer pinko commie or deviated prevert, thank you very much.

[sandnsea]

16. Fox is as biased as Comedy Central

That's the point. The difference is, Comedy Central doesn't profess to be a news outlet.

[FVZA_Colonel]

18. "right-tilting"

Me thinks this is a mild way of puting it.

[ComerPerro]

19. Conserding Fox's extremely biased moderating of the debates in 2004

and the way they constantly ambush and outnumber and shout down Democrats on their "news" programs, its amazing Democrats even speak to anyone representing Fox News.

[UTUSN]

20. What Faux fan, committed enough to watch a debate, would "change allegiances"?

Oh, and Faux ONLY "tilts Right" but Dems are SOCIALISTS.

[KharmaTrain]

21. How Would Repugnicans Like Their Debates On BET

or Bravo...ya know networks that cater to "non-Amuricans".

The "values voters" long gave up on Faux...between their constant bloodlust for Iraq or another dead blonde...the typical Faux viewer is today's modern freak show. Yeah, Democrats really need to reach these "voters".

[Clark2008]

22. Ummm.... if none of the 2,500 emails were read, how do these

"Web-addicted socialists" pull off such a coup?

:shrug:
