Nevada Dems Nix Faux News Debate
Nevada Democrats are pulling out of a presidential debate scheduled for Aug. 14, Democratic insiders say. John Edwards said Wednesday he wouldn’t participate, citing Faux News conservative ties. This ‘news’ network is the most biased and unfair channel in America and therefore does not deserve the privilege of carrying this debate. Thank you John for showing the entire country what a backbone in politics is all about!
Tonight the John Edwards campaign released the following.
Fox has already started striking back at John for saying no. (There’s a surprise—Fox attacking a Democrat.) Last night, Roger Ailes—the life-long Republican operative who is now Chairman of Fox News Channel—said that any candidate “who believes he can blacklist any news organization is making a terrible mistake” and “runs a real risk of losing the voters.”And John’s not their only target. Tonight Fox News Vice President David Rhodes is telling news organizations not to get involved in the Nevada Democratic Caucus because of “radical fringe” groups—meaning grassroots Democrats (that would be you)—who objected to Fox’s long history of spreading Republican propaganda at the expense of Democratic leaders.
The whole right wing is getting in on the attack; the Drudge Report is blaring the headline: “War! Dems Pull Out of Fox News Debate.”
Enough is enough. It’s time to send a clear message to Fox News and their allies that their right-wing talking points and temper tantrums won’t go unchallenged anymore—when it comes to what Democrats should do in the Democratic primary, we’ll decide—no matter what they report.

I admit that Fox news does tend to have a consevative slant, but so what? Most of the mainstream media stories have a liberal leaning slant. I am a compasionate conservative, who watches fox news, I do think they try to tell both sides of an issue. I do not see the same kind of committement from the MSM.
I think the Republican party has gone to far to, the right, but if moveon.org and some of the other lefty organizations represent the democratic base, the democratic party has moved to far to the left. I think John Edwards, (who along with Al Gore are hypocrites) look like they are catering to the radical left. Bid mistake. The democrats would be better served not to have Moveon.org be their mouth piece.
The only people the dems are hurting are themselves. They have a chance to get their message out to people other than their own. They could maybe make an impact on people who otherwise no nothing about fringe candidates. But they are controlled be extremist groups such as moveon and are unable to think for them selves so they will skip a chance to be seen This is no surprise for Edwards to do the wrong thing he has done that time and time again. His campaign is dead in the water he has zero chance of getting elected and he continues to make bad decisions . Stick a fork in him.
