Warren Declines Invitation to Do Town Hall Because ‘Fox News is a Hate-For-Profit Racket’"},"content":{"rendered":"

The debate over whether or not Democrats should appear on Fox News continues to divide many of the current candidates for the Democratic nomination for president. Pete Buttigieg and Kirsten Gillibrand are each scheduled for upcoming town halls. Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar have already done their Fox events. And all the evidence proves that they have nothing to show for it. In fact, both have lost points in subsequent polling.<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, Donald Trump had one of the most relevant responses to the Sanders town hall on Fox. He tweeted that<\/a><\/strong> it was “So weird to watch Crazy Bernie on @FoxNews.”<\/em> That’s an acknowledgement that Fox News is regarded as the State TV outlet for the Trump presidency and anyone not devoutly worshipful of Dear Leader and the right-wing agenda is out of place and unwelcome.<\/p>\n

Now Sen. Elizabeth Warren has weighed in with her response to an invitation from Fox News do to her own town hall. And her reply shows precisely how every Democrat ought to respond when being asked to voluntarily subject themselves to the bias and abuse of these avowed media foes:<\/p>\n

I love town halls. I\u2019ve done more than 70 since January, and I\u2019m glad to have a television audience be a part of them. Fox News has invited me to do a town hall, but I\u2019m turning them down\u2014here\u2019s why…<\/p>\n
