Reply #25: Here's the headline: "Democrats scared of Fox News". How does that play? [View All]

It looks bad. It's a dumb idea. The Democratic National is a public, not a private event. It's paid for in part by tax dollars. It's the party that represents the views of half the country (and the interests of 90% of the electorate--even if 40% of them are too stoopid to know it).

But undermining all of that by scratching the press access of the cable news network with the leading ratings because we don't like what they say is pretty dumb politics. Denying access to someone because you disagree with them is damned undemocratic. If the Republicans denied access to, say, NPR, how would you feel?
