The DNC has officially decided to block Fox News from airing any of the Democratic debates, citing a New Yorker article that detailed the revolving door between the network and the White House.
“Recent reporting in the New Yorker on the inappropriate relationship between President Trump, his administration and Fox News has led me to conclude that the network is not in a position to host a fair and neutral debate for our candidates,” chairman Tom Perez told the Washington Post. “Therefore, Fox News will not serve as a media partner for the 2020 Democratic primary debates.”
Bill Sammon, senior vice president and managing editor for Fox News, responded:

Never should have gone there in the first place, Tom. Glad you finally realized it.
So, so tired of the blatantly false story on the right that Fox is anything but, indeed was designed to be, a GOP propanganda outlet. I hope this is a positive step in ripping off that veneer of ‘journalism.’
In prior years, I would’ve been ok with going on FOX. This year, no. Fox is essentially running the government and is an integral part of the cover ups and obstruction strategy directed by Trump.
Good
Yes! This is the correct move. I am so sick and tired of hearing so-called liberals saying that Dems need to get their message out to people who normally wouldn’t hear it. Guess what? Anyone who is watching Fox News isn’t interested in hearing Democrats message, no matter what it is. That’s just a BS excuse. Let the feral trumpers watch the debates televised on a real network.
They’re not a news outlet but a propaganda outfit. I’d sooner prefer RT asking the questions.
