Should all Dems refuse to appear on FOX News? nt

1. ABSOLUTELY NOT!

They must do the opposite! This whole shunning FOX news deal serves only one purpose... to give them a free pass on whatever lunatic murmurings they come up with. We must fight back. We cannot avoid conflict and allow them to continue to dictate public opinion.

3. It might be a good idea to let the A-team handle this particular outlet though.

FNC likes to invite second stringers on to get sliced and diced.

[Fearless]

7. Most definitely.

11. I disagree. They have already been palpably embarrassed by at least one

Democratic politician refusal to appear on their channel.

18. To us, but not to their constituency.

Every time we scorn them we tell their constituents to buzz off. We cannot do that. We need to give them an avenue towards clean air so to speak and away from the pollution that is Fox News.

2. It would be better if there was a liberal version of Fox News. nt

4. They need to pick and choose carefully

No Democrat should appear with O'Reilly or Hannity. I know there are a few there who might be crazy but who don't browbeat their guests and appearing on those shows might be permissible.

However, no Democrat should appear just to be used as some choleric ranter's punching bag.

5. Yes. Just dismiss it as a valid news outlet.

Limit it to rabid right wingers.

[Catshrink]

15. It's just entertainment for RWers so dismiss it.

6. yes...total waste of time

fox watchers are zombies who`s only purpose is to feed off of fox news lies. a democrat would gain nothing for appearing on fox news.

democrats would find a better audience if they went on a fox entertainment program

8. Absolutely

Faux is not news or reporting. It is a major arm of the republican party designed to spread an anti-American agenda and to denigrate the opposition.
The best way to challenge the faux machine is for crowds of people to show up at each station and event wearing despicable masks of Murdock and their anchors and carrying lots of signs calling branding them as anti-American devils.
You do not bargain with satan.

9. Break up all big media corporations

Use anti trust laws to diminish the ill effects of this monopoly.

If Dems want to appear on FOX news then go, but only on real news programs not the entertainment programs like O'Reilly.

But it wold still be better to break up FOX and all all big media corporations.

10. Even though Fox is as RW in Philosophical view and do nothing to

hide this fact, they have the largest audience. Importantly,
they get a large audience of Independents.

If Democrats do not go on Fox and make a case for Democrats,
the Fox Version of a story goes out unchallenged. Stories left
unchallenged for 24 hours become believed as truth.

This is why the GOP is successful. No Democrat challenges them.

Do not think about the Network--think about their viewers.

As long as we sing to our own choir, we do not grow.

12. Just the real ones...

How else can we tell them apart?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

13. Lanny Davis?

Does anyone think he would avoid making money by cooperating? hah. That tool/fool would do and say anything to be on Orarely or Sean to make a buck.

[BlueIdaho]

14. Lanny Davis no longer qualifies as a Democrat. nt.

[berni_mccoy]

16. According to Jane Hamsher, Yes. Oh wait, ... er,... hmmm

:rofl:

17. N0

Would them not appearing on the most watched news channel help or hurt? I think it would hurt.
