    ...Calling the Network a ‘Hate-for-Profit Racket’

    So she is terrified of going on FOX and facing some hard questions and followups so she engages in specious invective as an excuse. What's she going to do if by some miracle she were to win the nomination? She would desperately need those middle ground voters that watch and insulting them is not the path to get them.

    Don't get mad at her just because she knows what's going on.

    “I'm gonna git me a beer” pokantas has nothing to say that makes any sense

    Warren is "terrified?" That's idiocy. She sees an ambush at Red Rock, so she goes around it.

    It was the smoke signals that alerted her.

    Exposure.

    People actually watch Fox News.

    Unlike CNN, which gets ignored by people at airports, and MSBC, which gets ignored everywhere.

    I thought the Democrats were taking "lessons" on how to go on Fox. LOL It's for the best. She's a loser. No one would watch.

    I see you're stooping to the Trump low of name calling. Sad. But Warren has offered more answers to challenging financial wrongdoing by banks & lending institutions than any other candidate. And many of those ideas are very good ones, that would benefit all of us. You should get beyond name calling & seriously consider her ideas. You may be surprised how they might actually help you & your life.

    It makes no sense for the frontrunners to go on Fox. Tulsi and Wang will go on as they are shunned by the MSM and both have some positions that appeal to traditional conservatives.

    I'm pulling for Sanders but this is indeed a damned sham. I think they're scared of him. Free money (with a way to not bankrupt the government) is a hell of a campaign promise. If he got serious coverage, he'd crush folks like Hariss and Biden. They want a corporatist, not someone that will help the poor and tax the rich.

    If she goes on, she, in effect validates Fox as a home for independent and thoughtful journalism, when most Dems see Fox very differently and takes a risk of being sandbagged. If she refuses, she looses an opportunity for exposure with some independents and moderates . Its her call either way. I don't have a strong view but I think she is probably smarter to wait and revisit this decision at the beginning of March when some southern states are on the calender..

    Not only that but they were probably going to play Gottha with her which would have ended up context free in attack ads. FOX wouldn't give her a fair shake unless is was post primary and she was on the presidential ballot. Until then, it's in their interest to keep a populist from getting the nom as that's Trump's ticket to victory against another Clinton style corporatist.

    I revised my post a bit. Febuary 29 ( leap day) has South Carolina's primary. Super-Tuesday two days hence, includes Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee etc. they are all open primaries. She will better target those moderates and independents then, when they are interested and invested, than now. that's when I would try to get a media build-up for my first Fox interview if I were her.

    FOX is valid. She is actually making a gross error. If she can sell her stuff on what she calls an enemy site, she can sell it to those who plan to vote for Biden or that white hair man from some north eastern state. Old what's his face. He ran before.

    I feel so sorry for you Jake. After you admit Bush made you rich, you still support Democrats.

    The people that she thinks represents her base at this stage, definitely do not see any validity in Fox. Fox is the Murdoch/ Trumpster network and she is not going to get much tangible support from Fox News watchers and they will not be sending her campaign any checks. She can revisit this issue later when some of those moderates and independents may impact actual elector numbers next year. Right ow she needs visibility, money and more name familiarity with progressives.

    Trump ran for president and beat the establishment RINO’s and democrats at their own game

    He’s the real deal

    Gee, why doesn't trump go on MSNBC instead of fox and friends?

    Warren does not need fox to get her message out. Wang and Tulsi do so they go on.
