Fox Gets Denver. Will Dems Bail?

September 16, 2007 RSS Feed Print

It's the proverbial boxed-into-a-corner situation. Fox News Channel, the cable network boycotted by Democrats running for president, has been handed the duty of televising the Democratic National Convention in Denver next summer. How could the cable station—which scrubbed its Democratic debates because candidates worried about bias and refused to participate—get the job of providing the pool cameras in the convention hall? The networks decide. So far—surprise—none of the candidates have balked.

If Fox is the network to broadcast the convention I think they will lose money. I don't think many Democrats will watch the convention and will go to a less biased channel for their news about the process. Talk about a "Fox in the henhouse" situation. Does this mean the Bill Mahr will be the announcer for the Republican National Convention. Turn around is fair play.
