In a statement to Newsweek, Fox News Vice President Bill Sammon says that he hopes the DNC 'will reconsider its decision.'
The Democratic National Committee will not allow Fox News to host a presidential primary debate for the 2020 election, citing recent reports of the network’s “inappropriate relationship” with Donald Trump.“I believe that a key pathway to victory is to continue to expand our electorate and reach all voters,” Perez said. He cited a recent exposé by the New Yorker as a driving impetus for the move to cut Fox News from it's programming.
According to the article, a reporter at Fox News was the first to have detailed information about Trump’s alleged affair with the adult film star. But the story never ran, the reporter reportedly claimed because media mogul Rupert Murdoch, the creator of the network, wanted Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton. The former executive who opted not to run the story has claimed he did so because it was"nowhere near publishable.
Moderators Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace are introduced at the Republican presidential debate sponsored by Fox News at the Fox Theatre on March 3, 2016 in Detroit, Michigan. Voters in Michigan will go to the polls March 8 for the State's primary. The Democratic National Committee announced on Wednesday that it will not allow Fox News to host a 2020 primary debate amid reports of the network's cozy relationship with Donald Trump.
