11 hours sitting on your duff suffering a handful of bvf Mar 2016 #74

So that 11 broadcast was not in front of millions of voters? Agschmid Mar 2016 #86

How many millions of people tuned in for bvf Mar 2016 #88

HRC is punishing FOX. This is how Chris Christie scared NJ Dems to support him-fear of retaliation. TheBlackAdder Mar 2016 #85

Pssst... TM99 Mar 2016 #107

... Your point? Agschmid Mar 2016 #114

Just enjoying the backpedalling and spin. TM99 Mar 2016 #115

From who? Agschmid Mar 2016 #117

Don't pretend to be obtuse. TM99 Mar 2016 #120

Fox isn't in the tank for her like MSNBC and CNN virtualobserver Mar 2016 #2

Fox is in the tank for Bernie? Renew Deal Mar 2016 #3

A logical fallacy on your part. nt thereismore Mar 2016 #5

It's a question. Is Fox in the tank for Bernie? Renew Deal Mar 2016 #6

Does Steph Curry play for the Golden State Warriors?/nt DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2016 #11

Fox is totally dismissive of Bernie virtualobserver Mar 2016 #12

Not totally if they are hosting him. Renew Deal Mar 2016 #15

They invited both of them virtualobserver Mar 2016 #16

And they got what they expected. Renew Deal Mar 2016 #20

Bernie wants to talk to voters....Hillary avoids tough questions. virtualobserver Mar 2016 #25

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 isn't afraid of going into the lion's den. Hillary wouldn't give ANY interviews..... virtualobserver Mar 2016 #34

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

Pssst.... TM99 Mar 2016 #108

No, Fox News is not in the tank for Bernie. (video) w4rma Mar 2016 #32

OMG!!! BWAH!HA!HA!HA!HA! magical thyme Mar 2016 #112

Why would you even ask such a question? You know how they feel about liberals, and Bernie is a jillan Mar 2016 #62

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

Yes, becuase Bernie's message is what everyone wants to hear pdsimdars Mar 2016 #40

"schedule conflict" ---> Big Money Fundraiser ? Impedimentus Mar 2016 #10

FOX News. JaneyVee Mar 2016 #7

who is worrying over a FOX news forum? bigtree Mar 2016 #8

Hillary at Rick Warren's Saddelback Church, 2007: Bluenorthwest Mar 2016 #50

If it turns out the schedule conflict was a Wall Street/ Bank fund-raiser Merryland Mar 2016 #13

Why give Fox News any ratings... timlot Mar 2016 #19

Fox News question for Hillary.... Adrahil Mar 2016 #21

Yup. Agschmid Mar 2016 #24

+1000 stonecutter357 Mar 2016 #57

Fox News question for Bernie is why do you think America would elect a socialist that wants to raise jillan Mar 2016 #91

They will both do fine, I'm sure. Adrahil Mar 2016 #92

Because FOX lies, and Agnosticsherbet Mar 2016 #22

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

Well, I see she's changed her mind Nonhlanhla Mar 2016 #98

I think it's about trade deals pdsimdars Mar 2016 #37

It's probably a good idea, Megyn Kelly is a former attorney. Uncle Joe Mar 2016 #38

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

She has nothing to gain from the debate, and they'll treat Bernie like a prince. kstewart33 Mar 2016 #48

They sure are "treating Bernie like a prince" here. No, actually they are trying to smear him. w4rma Mar 2016 #52

In Foxland, Bernie is king. AlbertCat Mar 2016 #96

Sanders needs to be in the same place as her. NCTraveler Mar 2016 #53

Oh please. Enough with the right wing meme. n/t livetohike Mar 2016 #54

Schedule conflict. Octafish Mar 2016 #60

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
