(11,578 posts)Maher likes to hear himself talk and doesn't give his guests much of an opportunity to speak. I used to enjoy his show more; lately, not so much. As far as Dems going on Fox, why would they? The moderators are rude and abusive to Dems, and consistently interrupt and shout them down. It's worse than having an argument with your teenager. Who in their right mind would willingly subject themselves to that kind of pointless abuse? I say bravo to the DNC for their decision to boycott Fox.

(7,142 posts)I haven't seen anyone respond to why it is terrible for a Democrat to go on Fox. I think it is a great idea. First of all it shows the zombie viewers that a Democrat who goes on Fox has to have guts. Second of all if the person who goes on Fox kicks some ass, that most certainly won't give Fox credibility now will it?
Just because Bernie has the guts to go on Fox and your candidate doesn't quit making excuses for your candidates lack of courage or ability to handle tough questions.
I disagree with Bill Maher on a lot of issues, but he is spot on about going on Fox. Wasn't it Adam Schiff who promised Bill that he would go on Fox? If so, when will the Adam Schiff bashing begin?

Plus he's not afraid to appear on Faux. He takes a pretty good chunk of their ass with him when he leaves every time. If any Democrat doesn't think they can do the same thing, then no, they should not appear on Faux.
