Mar 2016

Elderly, white, conservative voters aren't citizens worthy of their votes? Also, you're obviously not aware that not all Fox viewers are "elderly, white, conservatives" and their ratings beat all the other "news" programs offered by the MSM.

http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/cable-news-ratings-cnn-top-gainer-fox-news-channel-dominant-1201666151/

"Looking at Nielsen’s most current estimates for the Dec. 29, 2014-Dec. 27, 2015 ratings year, Fox News Channel easily led among the cable news networks in the key adults 25-54 demo during primetime. Its average audience of 349,000 viewers in the demo was up 13% vs. 2014, and was followed by CNN with 243,000 (up 30%), MSNBC with 143,000 (down 18%) and HLN with 114,000 (down 3%)."

25-54 year ols. Then new "elderly, white, conservative"

Elderly, white, conservative voters Renew Deal Mar 2016 #26

town halls and debates are viewed by a wider range of people virtualobserver Mar 2016 #30

What's your point? tazkcmo Mar 2016 #33

Both our candidates are white senior citizens, and one of them spent years pandering to conservative Bluenorthwest Mar 2016 #44

So Sanders is reaching out to the elderly and conservatives? Demographics supportive of Clinton? Goblinmonger Mar 2016 #59

You NAILED it! pdsimdars Mar 2016 #39

Bernie "opportunistic" ??? Merryland Mar 2016 #29

Bernie ain't afraid! Dustlawyer Mar 2016 #31

And he has nothing to hide MissDeeds Mar 2016 #56

Bernie gave a speech at Liberty University. That's not "opportunistic". w4rma Mar 2016 #35

One of the best comparisons of the two candidates lies in Bernie's opening at Liberty vs Hillary at Bluenorthwest Mar 2016 #49

Now that she's changed her mind and going, I assume you'll want to amend this statement. Qutzupalotl Mar 2016 #106

Fox barely acknowledges his existence. n/t dana_b Mar 2016 #80

You're probably right - it just seems Merryland Mar 2016 #4

Talking to Fox is a golden opportunity? Renew Deal Mar 2016 #9

Didn't they have a Trump only town hall? virtualobserver Mar 2016 #14

Yes hosted by Scabs and Mika. That's not a debate with Maddow. Renew Deal Mar 2016 #17

That was MSNBC's greedy, suck up to Trump choice. virtualobserver Mar 2016 #27

Fox News viciously attacks Sanders. Fox News viciously attacks all Democrats. w4rma Mar 2016 #36

And like Turdblossom, they are more than happy to help Sanders win Agnosticsherbet Mar 2016 #41

Fox?!!!! Nonhlanhla Mar 2016 #23

Clinton and Sanders are already debating the day before in Flint! What would be the point Tanuki Mar 2016 #42

then you don't think all the exposure Trump has gotten has helped him? pdsimdars Mar 2016 #47

"Her true constituency" is evident from the primary results. Perhaps you did not read Tanuki Mar 2016 #51

Unfortunately for your side, the people voting for her are the base of the party, not the 1%. Beacool Mar 2016 #87

I'm sure Fox News would make it all about their sufrommich Mar 2016 #43

No brainer if you have a message for ALL Americans pdsimdars Mar 2016 #45

But that argument doesn't hold. If Hillary is really GOP-lite as many of you say, Jitter65 Mar 2016 #55

Because she's smart! Because Fox needs her more than she needs Fox. NurseJackie Mar 2016 #46

Because Fox needs her more than she needs Fox. AlbertCat Mar 2016 #95

They are already debating in Flint (via CNN) on March 6, the day before the proposed Fox town hall, Tanuki Mar 2016 #69

Not sure about who has the advantage. Octafish Mar 2016 #70

I wouldn't be too swayed by "the memos Snyder released." The first thing he did was hire a PR Tanuki Mar 2016 #76

Well, she never was a woman of her word, so I guess we could have expected as much. eom Betty Karlson Mar 2016 #61

I don't blame her Fox News channel. FloridaBlues Mar 2016 #63

I think she would drop the remaining debates against Bernie if she could get away with it BernieforPres2016 Mar 2016 #64
