Cliffs Notes: Foxnews was set to sponsor a presidential debate amongst the democratic candidates in Nevada. Candidates pulled out of debate to boycott foxnews in response to derogatory comments by the CEO of Foxnews about Barack Obama.
I think most people on this board, even the conservative ones, generally agree that Foxnews is biased in favor of conservatives. But, as a democrat, I don't like this decision to boycott a news organization by political leaders because they don't agree with its viewpoint. I think this sets a bad precedent, and hurts the independence of the Press (a news show might think twice about disparaging a political party now for fear of losing ratings and business along with the ability to host a debate such as this).
Thoughts?
