Democratic National Cmte. says it will not allow Fox News to host any 2020 Democratic primary debates, citing the network's close relationship with the Trump admin.

Party chair Tom Perez cited what he called the network's "inappropriate relationship" with Trump and his administration

"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," DNC chair Tom Perez said in the statement.

Dems are terrified. Smart move.

Shocking. Why would you want the truth.

trump refused a debate on fox entertainment and state t.v. channel, after he was asked a tough question, during the 1st debate

Bennythesnitch

Can anyone seriously listen to CNN or and say they don't have a serious hatred for POTUS.

And they don't report facts.

Of course not, they don't push the demmoroid propoganda...

Fox is not a news Network. It's Trump TV, so I find this to be a prudent move by the DNC!

Wow they actually acted like self interest is important. I'm surprised.

No real American watches fox news. They are a cartoon network.

So CNN and msnbc are in the tank with dnc and Obama and Clintons, but hey that's OK right!!

Do they even do live news? I mean they pretty much tape and edit all their stuff so they can spin it how they want it. That alone should disqualify them.

Hallelujah don’t let Fox fake Corrupt news anywhere near DNC they’re not a news media . They are only a mouthpiece for Trump conservative racist people they only spew the crap of Ignorant people

Good

THEIR close ties...

The others are on the dem side so how is that fair,

That's probably because Chris Wallace, Brett Baier, and Martha MacCallum won't softball the candidates like CNN will...or give them the questions ahead of time.

Yes!!!

I’m of mixed mind on this. There are one, maybe two decent journalists (Smith, maybe Wallace) who actually ask decent questions, and are more interested in fact finding than religious affiliation and undying support of The Orange Savior in lieu of facts. Restrict to one of them?

For sure a good idea to keep people in their own little echo Chambers. That way it's a big 'surprise' when their side loses again in 2020. 😂

They wouldn't let donnabrazile see the questions.

Dems need sympathetic media to help control the narrative and tell people what to think. 🙄

Good. Don’t grant them credibility as a “news” Organization, which they’re not.

DNC=exclusiveness

What about MSNBC ‘s relationship with the Dems?

Fox 🦊 news propaganda trump tv state ran by billionaires and millionaires nope 👎 glad you made this decision can’t stand to watch those people they are ill informed cruel lies spread propaganda 🤮🤥🤮🤥

FoxFake News 🤮

Then only 1/3 of Americans will watch! 😁. Not a smart idea

Great decision!

Afraid they might ask real questions

Common sense.

Yeah cause cheating with the other networks worked so well last time. 😂😂😂

Good

Didn't CNN feed questions to Hillary?

Hooray!

I wouldn't watch any of the debates there anyway.

Fox News is a propaganda station.

Should be on abc, nbc, cbs

Considering their alleged role in covering up hush money payments, this makes total sense. And “News”? Really...?

👏🏻😂👏🏻😂👏🏻😂👏🏻😂👏🏻

Best news today so far!

You surely can't fix an election with a free press. Sure the whole debate will be fixed. They will all get a script to read from.

Good

Who care that’s just confirms what I’ve been saying about the Democrat Party a Party Of Bigots and Hate

Donna Brazile? ++ CNN

They should have Juan and Shep be the moderators.

What a shocker they weren't going to anyways, but why not lie about it. Americans should boycott the debates and refuse to vote in the democratic primaries send a message to the democrats that the people are the democrats boss not the other way around.

And what about nbc close relationship to the democrats? Lol..they are sooooo hurting themselves by turning down the top rated news network.

Hasn't all previous primary debates had some connection with a national news agency?

Who even wants to watch those things?

Instead lets let the fake news channel host it. Good idea. While you're at it, go ahead and have the DNC give all the questions to the candidates again.

Hm...

Well, Fox News is FAKE NEWS!

I agree 100%!!

Thread worth reading...

FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS

Ha ha ha ha ha ha..they couldn't convince them to give the questions ahead of time!

Yeah, I mean why would they allow the propaganda arm of the Republican party host one of their debates?

Awe the Democrates are going to a Safe Place because they be SCARED!

Oh well

Trump towers over politics, but the 2020 Democratic campaign trail is a mostly Trump-free zoneThere's far less Trump bashing than you might imagine in the opening round of the 2020 presidential race, particularly from the lips of Democratic candidates who are trying something unusual: barely mentioning his name. President orange man is an around-the-clock, all-consuming presence in American politics, but his name often goes unspoken on the campaign trail. CNN Sucks Ddddd

John Bolton: North Korea summit was not a failurePresident Trump is “not desperate for a deal — not with North Korea, not with anybody — if it’s contrary to American national interests,” Bolton said on “Fox News Sunday.” No, Donald Trump was the failure. The summit played out exactly as people expected. Hey! Bolton! Kim will never de-nuke. He will never capitulate to America. Doing so reflects weakness. And when asked to explain why he....couldn't....
