John Edwards and the Dems have pulled out of an August debate in Nevada sponsored by Fox News. Read about that here in a post by John Hinderaker of Powerline on AOL News Bloggers.
The Nevada State Democratic Party pulled the plug on Fox News because the debate “caused some concern among some of our activist allies”. Read about that here on the Party’s site.
Fox News Vice President David Rhodes shot back in a written statement: “News organizations will want to think twice before getting involved in the Nevada Democratic Caucus, which appears to be controlled by radical fringe out-of-state interest groups, not the Democratic Party.” Read the story about that here.
It seems that some Dems are afraid to expose themselves to a news outlet that report both sides of the story. If anyone doubts that, check out the fair reporting of pros like Britt Hume or Chris Wallace or the commentary of Alan Colmes or Greta Van Susteren.
My prediction: Dems that have “weak knees” and shy away from Fox News, will lose moderate voters and pay at the polls.

Fair reporting of Britt Hume and Chris Wallace? Nice sarcasm. This won’t hurt the Dems. The only people who watch Fox News have already made their mind up to vote Republican… so what’s the point?
Screw FOX and the republicans propaganda machine!
They are only about desinforming, and having “fair and balance” issues about how bad are democrats.
Let’s give the big money to any other network.
Fox News has YET to retract the now-famously debunked “Barack Obama attended a madrassah” story, instead choosing to repeat it ad nauseum. The Democrats don’t owe Fox any favors.
