Fox News.
Many of us have wondered about her ever since she released her book just days before the election -- and infuriated Bernie supporters. We were right to question her motives.
I know we don't normally post from Faux News, but Faux News is the only place to read her announcement, in her own words.

Will I agree with my fellow commentators at Fox News? Probably not. But I will listen.
Will I question them if they make assertions about hard-working Americans, low-income people and issues like climate change that I disagree with? Absolutely. But I will do so with civility and respect. I will also freely admit the weaknesses in liberal arguments and the strength in conservative positions. And I welcome the opportunity to challenge many of the false assumptions about progressives, especially those newly elected to Congress.
To leave the world a better place, you need to help make the world a better place. Just as it takes many ingredients to make a good gumbo, it will require listening to many voices before we are able to move forward as one people. And thats exactly why I am so excited to join the honest and passionate debate at Fox News about our future. I invite you to join me.

Only a few weeks ago I signed a petition to keep Donna Brazile on the Democratic National Committee (DNC). I defended her as a good Democrat who worked hard over the years to elect Democrats. What a difference a few weeks make.
Today I am sorry for signing that petition. She has not only bought into the Bernie Sanders campaign story for profit, selling her book, but has hurt the Democratic Party she claimed to love when she spent years as vice-chair of it.
Brazile is too smart not to know releasing her book now wasnt going to be used by Republicans to block out everything wrong they are doing from tax cuts for the rich to covering up the disgusting behavior of Trump and his campaign. She knew she was going to set Democrat against Democrat once again and for that many will never forgive her.

(51,605 posts)and he said that Swalwell is the only Dem to go on Fux. He said this is a bad thing that so few Dems go on the propaganda network since Fux is the choice of both Dem and GOP voters for campaign news. Someone on DU said Fux gets the most viewers (more than Fakebook or the top TV networks combined) since it is free and not paid through cable fees. Fux is part of the basic cable package, not free, where I live. Since more viewers get their info from them Bill Maher said more Dems should go on the shit show to let people know what the real Dem message is as opposed to the BS from their GOP hosts and guests. If I were to play Devil's Advocate I would say that perhaps Donna is doing what Bill suggested.
I will never watch Fux, free or not. Obama, Hillary, Bernie, Beto and Biden could all go on together and I still wouldn't watch. Freddie Mercury could come back from the dead and play live on Fux and I would still not...wait. Yes, I would watch Fux that one time for Freddy.
