Why did the Congressional Black Caucus team up with Fox News???
What was the CBC thinking? Couldn't they tell that Fox News buttered up to them in order to divide the Democrats?

2. Why is Fox interested in the Black Caucus?
I suspect that want to use the Black Caucus as a wedge for their viewers to keep them from voting Dem.

Why else would Fox want to broadcast this to its non-black viewers?

8. Is it possible that everyone else said no?

Has anyone considered the possibility that the CBC wanted a public couldn't find another acceptable forum with conditions they wanted? It wouldn't be the first time.

or
is it possible that they polled their constituents on a media preference?

10. Imagine that
Edited on Wed May-30-07 03:47 PM by loyalsister
The CBC is getting what they want where it is available..... just like everyone else does.
No conspiracy. No selling out.

To be honest it is not uncommon for African American business to find itself in a "low rent" atmoshphere.

The ongoing interpretation will be that they sold out the Democratic party, however.
