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.

So will they dump ABC nbc cbs nytimes washingtonpost and for inappropriate relationship with Democrats?

I have never watched one DNC or even debates with them once.

What about Sinclair?

Attacking free press?

Logicly!

Hannity is Trump's favorite cam-girl. Trump's dumbest son is porking one of their former employees. How many former Fox News employees are working in his Administration?

They weren't going to have the debates on Fox anyways, but why tell the truth? Why not make the decision look like punishment, which is bullying.

Rupert didn’t wear a condom.

DNC 👏👏👏YES👍👍👍

The DNC’S answer to transparency.

Good

Can't believe they were even considered. Talk about scraping the bottom.

Smart move. Now, get that sh8 station off the air.

Good for them. Now go to NPR or PBS and then we'll see better debates.

Chris Cuomo Calls Out 'State TV' Fox News For Being 'Pawns Of The President'CNN's Chris Cuomo took aim at a rival network on Monday, labeling Fox News as'state TV' for the close ties between President Donald Trump and prime-timehosts, such as Sean Hannity Not a big Cumo fan but he’s 💯 correct on this one. And Chris Cuomo is a pawn for the democrat party. Do ratings matter on CNN? Well, I guess Fox was following the lead of MSM media with 44. Not only did they fawn over him, they practically cheerleaded during his 8 years.
