"Biden Scolds Dems on Fox Debates" SCREW YOU, JOE!
Couldn't the Congressional Black Caucus find a network to have their debate that isn't a WHITE HOUSE PROPAGANDA TOOL? Sure they could! And will!


Biden Scolds Dems on Fox Debates
By BEVERLEY WANG, Associated Press Writer

2 hours ago

CONCORD, N.H. - Joe Biden on Friday questioned how his Democratic presidential rivals could skip a debate involving the Congressional Black Caucus. The Delaware senator, who will participate in a New Hampshire debate on Sunday, is one of two candidates signed onto a fall debate on Fox News and the sole person who has agreed to an Iraq-only debate next week.

In a telephone interview Friday, Biden called out fellow Democrats for bowing out of the Sept. 23 Detroit debate co-sponsored by Fox News Channel and the political education and leadership institute of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Democratic candidates have been under pressure to shun the debate from liberal groups who say Fox is biased against Democrats. Biden said Fox's role in the debate doesn't matter.

"I agreed to go because my friends in the Black Caucus said this is a very important debate to be able to determine the difference among us on matters relating to the African-American community," Biden said.<snip>

3. Me too. Why the hell would they even bother with that repuke propaganda network? They know what they
are and why Biden and Kucinich wouldn't stand with the other Dems against the network is beyond me.:( NO DEMOCRAT SHOULD EVER APPEAR ON THE NETWORK. Period.

4. I heard Maxine Waters on the Tom Joyner radio show say....
that they've had difficulty finding outlets. According to her, the networks just don't extend the invitation. But, I have to say, they must be mighty desperate to resort to Fox.

6. Radio Talk Show host Bill Press
is always arguing on his show that Dems should be
going on Faux as often as possible to "educate" those
who need it most. Faux viewers aren't watching to
be educated or informed. They just want to have their
previous brainwashing re-enforced and know who to hate.
His callers almost always disagree with him
but he just keeps pushing the idea.
Why give them legitimacy?
Faux needs to be ignored/boycotted by all Dems
until it just disappears.
