Yeah for Tom Perez https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/democratic-national-committee-rejects-fox-news-for-debates-citing-new-yorker-article/2019/03/06/a0bdf55c-402e-11e9-922c-64d6b7840b82_story.html?utm_term=.fff4844486cd

The Democratic National Committee has decided to exclude Fox News Channel from televising any of its candidate debates during the 2019-2020 cycle as a result of published revelations detailing the cable network’s close ties to the Trump administration.

In a statement Wednesday, DNC Chairman Tom Perez cited a story in the New Yorker magazine this week that detailed how Fox has promoted President Trump’s agenda. The article, entitled “The Making of the Fox News White House,” suggested that the news network had become a propaganda vehicle for Trump.

“I believe that a key pathway to victory is to continue to expand our electorate and reach all voters,” said Perez in his statement to The Washington Post. “That is why I have made it a priority to talk to a broad array of potential media partners, including Fox News. Recent reporting in the New Yorker on the inappropriate relationship between President Trump, his administration and Fox News has led me to conclude that the network is not in a position to host a fair and neutral debate for our candidates. Therefore, Fox News will not serve as a media partner for the 2020 Democratic primary debates.”

4. GOOD. Delegitimize them. They have been a partisan organization all along.

And now they are more or a less the propaganda arm of Trumpworld. There is absolutely no reason to pretend that they're just "news with a conservative slant" anymore.

7. Good

FOX news has become a parody of itself. Seriously, watch sometime. It has become a Saturday Night Live skit of itself.

9. Pox speaks with a collective forked tongue.

Since we can’t Lock ‘em up, the next best thing is to Lock ‘em OUT.

They can’t be counted on to cover any of it objectively anyway. Throughout the open Cohen testimony last Wednesday, they avoided it all, to focus on their demigod at the summit in Vietnam instead.
