Why dont democrats just boycott faux news?
If every democrat refused to go on Faux news, wouldnt that be making a statement.

3. I truly wish all of the politicians would get together and
make a promise to stay off of Faux. I believe that would keep them from having such hateful discussions.

4. Huh? What a lame strawman!
Give it up! OK?

Dems are not the "Faux audience". You know that, right?

Again, move on! Wake up! Give the BS up!

11. The OP wasn't talking about the audience
he was talking about the guests ;) Probably mostly about Chris Wallace's ambushes.

5. Fox news?
Look the only day I stopped there was on electioon night, nothing more satisfying than seeing Kondracke almost cry on national teevee

14. That's caused me to change my mind
Edited on Tue Nov-28-06 12:13 AM by Spiffarino
Since Clinton wagged his finger in little Chrissy's face, it seems like the Dems have grown some spine and aren't taking FNC spin any longer. I love that Boxer laughed in the face of a Fox anchor-bunny and Barney Frank tore Wallace gently into little tiny pieces. O sweet Schadenfreude.

My favorite was when Stephanie Miller got on Hannity and Colmes and debunked their spin over Cindy Sheehan's being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Stephanie said, "..I went to AP who confirmed that she was on the short list for Nobel nominees. It's called journalism. Fox News might want to check into it some time."

:rofl:

9. We wouldn't get Bill Clinton giving Chris Wallace a good smackdown.
That's one reason.

Wesley Clark, there's another.

10. UNDERSTANDING THE QUESTION, the answer is that the other shows won't listen to them...
MSM likes to have its 'regulars'. Take Keith Obermann - he has that guy from Newsweek on like... EVERY DAY?

My point is that Democrats go on Fox because Fox will HAVE them, and the lure of the camera is difficult to say no to.

12. No way....
Edited on Mon Nov-27-06 11:44 PM by Aviation Pro
...finally, the bayonets have been fixed and every elected Dem should be on Fux hoisting the Jolly Donkey and figuratively slitting throats. Little Chrissy Wallace, a pale, cowardly whelp compared to his giant of a father is being revealed for the wimp that he is.

Hey, Chrissy-girl! How do you like being Clinton and Rangel's bitch?

We hear about the stuff they spew from people who watch it. That means we don't have to.
