Not simply because I support Pete, but because he clearly demonstrates exactly WHY he chose to appear on Fox. I have seen some very forceful criticism of him for doing this, but much of that critical commentary seems somewhat abstract. Folks are angry about the principle of going on Fox.

I can certainly understand why other candidates are strongly opposed to having their own Town Halls on Fox, but freedom of speech is larger than one point of view. Watch and listen to Pete eviscerate Fox hosts right there in their own studio. He forces his audience to analyze what they see on that network, and he does nothing to support or promote Fox. Since I can't stand Fox's consistent BS, I had to look up the channel to watch this event, but it was well worth it.

If others disagree, that's fine. But I found Pete's choice gratifying.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
