Debating Point

by digby

Blogpac has an action going today that I think is worthwhile. If you have a spare minute or two, click this link and sign up to send an email to various democratic officials to protest their agreement with Roger Ailes to have Fox News host a presidential primary debate.

The last time they did it, they cut away early to let Bill “boxcars” Bennett spin the debate before it was even finished and displayed banners calling it the “Democrat” party debate. Everyone knows that Fox News is the propaganda arm of the Republican party and there is no reason that Democrats should lend them any credibility by pretending they aren’t actively hostile to everything they stand for. I’m not crazy about the fact that so many Dems appear on the network but there is at least some rationale for that — if they don’t then nobody will even try to rebut their partisan spin.

These debates are something else. They are expressly for Democratic primary voters and we should not have to give that network our business in order to watch our presidential candidates debate one another.
