Dumb move on her part. It’s going to be perceived as being scared to do one and Fox=bad just being an excuse. Also missing the opportunity to get your message out doesn’t get you elected.
Not appearing on FOX is the best move!
If it was obn any other network I would say to her -- Go for it!1
But you know whatever is said will be heavily edited to make TRUMP look good and NOT Warren!
If Fox News was unbiased now we have a new game,,,,

It's not like anyone who regularly watches Fox doesnt already have their mind made up anyways. So no real loss in the end.
 
I agree with her. Look at all of the Trumpanzees here spouting their useless inaccurate facts and drivel. How in the hell can you have a useful debate if you're debating a bunch of fucking morons that wither under any sort of intellectual scrutiny? Why go to a local carnival and let your kid see the worst in society, just take them to a Trump rally.

When I pet my dog and look into her eyes I see an innate intelligence, when I look into a Trumpanzee's eyes I see hatred, bigotry, and just a general worthless waste of breathable air that I'd rather my dog use.
 
I honestly can't blame her and get her reasoning. If democrat voters were smart they would watch fox tv just a little bit each week and make a list of their sponsors. Then they should write the sponsor (or their parent company if applicable) and boycott all of their products until they get their act together.

lol you really think that kind of stuff works?

Tons of people watch Fox TV. That's who they are targeting. Getting a bunch of people who DONT watch Fox to say they are boycotting it isn't going to work. They weren't the intended recipients.

Plus anyone with half a brain business wise knows that stupid Twitter mobs saying they will boycott are a tiny tiny tiny tiny fraction of a penny portion of the population.

How about you just have some candidates that grow some balls in life and go on their shows? Make them look stupid - and you just might gain some voters instead of living in your bubble of Rachel Maddow shows.
 
It's refreshing to see a candidate adhere to principle even when so-called "politics" say buckle in to the slime. I think she is a great senator and one of the most effective policy people in Washington (from either party). Maybe it is time for a tough woman to run this country instead of the weak one currently occupying the office.

The chances of a diehard Faux viewer voting for any Dem for President have to be in the single digits at most.

You were saying?

But the boycotts pose a threat to further revenue growth over the long term. According to Kantar Media data, “Tucker Carlson Tonight” saw its 2018 fourth quarter ad revenue total drop to $13.6 million, a whopping 45% decline from the previous year. The first organized effort to get sponsors to drop Carlson began in December after he said immigrants make the U.S. “poorer and dirtier and more divided.”
Many blue chip companies such as Lexus, Jaguar, Pacific Life and Pfizer, have pulled out of Carlson’s program, which now relies heavily on commercials from advertisers with 1-800 numbers who tend to seek out lower-priced ad time.
 
It was probably a good move by Pocahontas. She needs to stay on script and in an echo chamber because whenever she gets out of either she is an unmitigated disaster. What little presidential candidacy she has left will be defined by her DNA test and her "I. think. I. Will. Have. A. Beer." video.

Bad parrot! You left out a few talking points. No crackers for you today.
 
Warren already has policies and explains how she plans on implementing them. And she is able to talk with regular people in a natural way.

What makes you say she doesn't appear to be the greatest at campaigning? There are still 18 months until the election.

She doesn't have the charisma/personality to go the distance. She's like Clinton but farther left on policy. Too wonkish for the general election.

Let me know when Trump shows up on any of CNN's and MSNBC's shows will ya?

Quit with the stupid whataboutism. I didn't vote for Trump. Never will.

Yes, he's a dipshit. No, he can't debate for shit. What does that have to do with my point that if you want to reach additional voters, appearing on an opposing viewpoints TV show/channel might just help you?

What if taking a stand against an obvious political propaganda outlet gains one more support and then realize no one who would vote for her is watching Fox News anyhow...

You can tell you don't think very much.

If someone hates the shit out of Fox news to the point of....
1. Not watching it.
2. Complaining about it
3. Base your vote on if someone appears on it or not...

Chances are, you ALREADY have their vote as a lefty silly goose.


There there Billy, maybe some day you will start to be able to think rationally and critically in life.

Since when do Democrats try and get the white supremacist kill all muslims/ jews/ poor/ blacks/ brownies vote?

Your argument of going on fox is like a hunters argument for hunting geese in outer space. There aren't any geese in outer space.

If someone is braindead enough to watch Fox News they are
1. A Brainwashed Cult member
2. Dumber than a box of rocks
3. Still likely to be smarter than you

I am thinking rationally. Democrats appearing on Fox News is pointless. It's like having Jews speak at a Nazi rally.

What is clear here is your emotional, irrational reaction to anyone boycotting Fox News.
 
She's not wrong. Still I wonder if it could lead to another Bernie fiasco, that recent appearance where he pulled an Obama and shut down the echo chamber on it's home turf. Didn't she have a similar reaction recently someplace red?

Then again, the Warren hate among the afflicted is truly something to behold. Probably a good move. No one really considers Fox actual news anyway, even they get it. Snowflake culture warriors will of course act offended over their preferred outrage vendor not being afforded the respect real journalism gets.

A lady is allowed to have standards. This one just said she doesn't want to sit down and have coffee with a sexist, racist, uneducated used car salesman with halitosis. Seems like a pretty straight forward, easy to understand issue to me.

Meh. So far as legitimizing Fox News, I see her point. But that ship has sailed. The other dems who are agreeing to do that have made that decision already and her appearing in addition to them doesn't really legitimize them much more. If the dems were going to do this to make a point, they should all have done it. So this comes down to a political decision, whether it's better or worse for her candidacy and, in the regard, I really don't care.
 
Says...you?

I'm never speaking for anyone but myself. And in this case, I'm offering an opinion about electability based on how I perceive the general populace. I myself like wonkish candidates but I don't think they do well in elections, based on past experience, such as Clinton 2016 and Dukakis 1988. I'd love to be proven wrong about this, but I doubt I will be. I don't see her making it past the primaries, let alone winning the general. Then again, I don't think my preferred candidate - Buttigieg - will make it either.
