Presidential candidate John Delaney criticized the Democratic National Committee on Thursday for not allowing Fox News to host a primary debate.

DNC Chairman Tom Perez cited a report from The New Yorker that described a close relationship between the Trump administration and the conservative network.Hewitt pressed Delaney on why he believes the committee made "a bad decision."Sign Up

"Because, listen, I think we have to talk to everyone," Delaney replied. "And in many ways, we have a much bigger obligation to talk to those who we don't agree with on things, right?"Delaney does not qualify to be on the debate stage, which requires candidates to receive 65,000 contributions s presidential campaign from people in 20 states.

When asked how the donation program was going, Delaney said, "It’s working well, actually." He did not give a number, but maintained that "we’re making good progress."

The DMC needs to be brought down a peg. They think they can do anything they want to.

Who?

Fox Propaganda t.v. can not be trusted to broadcast unedited footage nor do they need to make advertiser money and improve their ratings.

Fox News Republicans are mind-melded to Trump. They are a lost cause. Let them go. POLL: The Fox News Audience is a Fanatical, Irredeemably Warped Cult of Right-Wing Extremists

Delaney DOA

No one cares what you think DeLAMEy. Your opponent GovLarryHogan would be twice the president you would. He’s a republican with a backbone and would call FoxNews out. He’d make the GOP great again.

Dear Delaney one does not invite the fox into the hen house in order to protect it.

Not going to be a real debate when the questions are already known. Here's a list of what you can ask, this is what you can't ask etc. This is when you'll take the 5th etc. lol 😁 what a joke.

When Fox becomes an actual news network instead of a propaganda network, I'm sure their decision will change. But for now, they're neither in the news field, nor are they journalists.

Especially since they hired Donna Brazil’s a paragon of political honesty to feed them the debate questions. Fox is trying to make democrats happy.

It has surprised me the number of normal journalists and people like this, whoever he is, to defend an obvious propaganda outfit. If the debates were on fake foxnews I would not watch. I don't give value to those who lie and denigrate democracy.

Who?

My guess is that they want the GOP to be forced to watch it on CNN and MSNBC hoping maybe some will swallow the kool-aid🙂

Fox News only wanted Trump from the day he announced. Remember they canceled the 2016 Republican debate because Trump said he wasn't attending. They didn't want good publicity for any other Republican...hard to fathom they would even consider treating a Democratic debate fairly.

Yep. Another mile stone that will be talked about when T landslides against the D candidate. Lost opportunity of peeling off some Fox folks. Ponder the stakes: next Prez picks 2 supremes and many other judges.

FoxNews is a state propaganda machine. Let's call a spade a spade.

Okay, he's out. This is clarifying.

nobody knows who you are. Step off, lightweight.

Democratic presidential candidate John Delaney said a Republican, such as John Kasich or Larry Hogan, should challenge Donald Trump in 2020

IDGAF what he thinks.

Why should Democrats have to hold a primary debate on a state propaganda network which long-ago dedicated itself to convincing its viewership that Democrats are subhuman vermin who all need to be jailed or executed for daring to criticize the GodEmperor?

JohnDelaney you just lost my confidence. In criticizing DNC for not using FoxNews tells me you have no clue Fox has greatly contributed to the destruction of our democracy by broadcasting lies/conspiracies 7/24 feeding the racism/fear of their viewers.

Not.

Delaney has returned from a meeting with Herr Murdoch, and he holds in his hand an agreement for Peace In Our Time!

Who is John Delany? Why does anyone care what this unknown thinks, he won’t be on the debate stage no matter who hosts it!

JohnDelaney there absolutely is bad publicity

Bottom-tier candidate says what?

Tf is John Delaney? and it’s Fox ENTERTAINMENT

FOX Doesn't Need garbage programming like Democrat Cartoon Character's Debate

Who?

Eliminating Fox doesn't change much....We thought those lying schills were helping Hillary cheat the first time and we found out later,THEY WERE ! The only difference is NOW WE KNOW IN ADVANCE (Not to pay attention to anything produced from the well scripted fiasco CNNFAKENEWS

The DNC did exactly the right thing...FOX CAN NOT BE TRUSTED EVER!!!

Yeah because I'm sure they'd hold it in good faith, right?

Fox should get a debate after Sputnik and RT.

luckily, these comments won’t hurt him on the polls because he’s already at 0%

A lot of independents watch Fox, if the D's want to win them...

Is he not current on the news? They buried Stormy, they bolster Trump, Hannity talks to him on the phone. Fox is not news.

Who gives a shit?

one quick question: who the fuck is John Delaney?

Fox isn't a new's organization. It's a propaganda wing of the GOP. Also who is John Delaney? Ive never even heard of him.

At least pair them up with other state tv like NT.

they are not blocking fox. they are not having their debate hosted by fox
