That's how you combat Fox News. You don't prop them up, giving them legitimacy, while pandering to the Trump racists who are never going to vote Democratic.

She’s fantastic.

4. This is how it is done

Brava Senator Warren!

[JudyM]

5. It's helpful to distinguish the network execs from the audience.

I love her outside the box messaging!

6. K&R

[sheshe2]

7. I'm with her!

[katmondoo]

8. This is why Elizabeth is my candidate

[R B Garr]

9. Amen. Rachel had segments on that suggested Fox News just wanted advertisers back

so they had those townhalls to increase viewership. Elizabeth was not fooled.

[rurallib]

10. She stands up to the bully!

The only way to beat the bully.

Surely they will now retaliate with lies and more lies, but that would happen eventually as they are Trump's personal network.

Thank you for doing what needed to be done!

Still split between Warren and Harris, but Warren is really nailing it.

[mountain grammy]

11. She hasn't been wrong about anything.

[B Stieg]

12. Yep. She's one, tough nerd!

[EarnestPutz]

64. Tough nerd - got to love that characterization.

[ecstatic]

13. I love it!

She's hitting all the right notes.

[turbinetree]

62. Sock is gone. Hmmm.

[BootinUp]

21. That's a damn good statement. Nt

[Wounded Bear]

22. I'll allow that...

[KSNY]

23. She's a class act...my admiration for her is growing

If there were the possibility of ranked choice voting (either on DU or in the real world) she would be my number 1 or 2

[kag]

24. I wish they would ALL do this.

Bernie opened the door. Let's hope Warren has just slammed it shut.

Last I heard, Buttigieg was "in talks" with Fox. Anyone know the status?

[pdsimdars]

25. She is the bright shining beacon light of integrity.

[jg10003]

26. it's not about the fox network, it's about reaching the people who watch it.

You can't convince people if you don't talk to them.

[oldsoftie]

30. Nobody gets it. And i pointed out earlier; a LOT of "Fox viewers" arent trumpettes.

It just makes you look weak when republicans dont avoid the networks their voters say are "liberal", but democrats run from fox. But again, my opinion is the minority here.

[jg10003]

33. 1 thing I admire about Bernie, he always goes to the places that need

To hear him; miners in West Virginia, blue collar workers in the midwest, even the Christian Taliban at Liberty University. That is what it takes to organize a movement.

[JI7]

69. the point is that Fox isn't just Conservative leaning news , but it's propaganda and spreads hate

and purposely lies .

[HopeAgain]

79. Dont give them even an iota of legitimacy

Years, months, weeks and days of toxic propaganda legitimized in order to try to reach the handful of Fox Viewers who might actually watch the Democratic Town Hall? The price is too high. We must do nothing that helps them to exist.

[jg10003]

84. 2 million fox viewers watched Bernie's town hall.

Boycotting fox doesn't harm the network. I want fox viewers to see and hear all our candidates. How else can you hope to win them over?

[bloom]

27. EW is right on n/t

[MaryMagdaline]

28. Brava!!

[FM123]

29. Wow!

She is so right! I was one of those who thought it wasn't a bad idea for our Dem candidates to go over to enemy territory and maybe change a few fuxxed up minds but nope, no more. I'm with her, she just makes too much darn sense...

[delisen]

40. Warren is going to the people directly-just not willing to give control to Fox

[RKP5637]

31. Excellent!!! K&R!!! Fox News is a cesspool of hatred!!! n/t

[Paladin]

32. Fuck yeah, Elizabeth Harris!

Now THIS is what we need more of from Democratic candidates, IMMEDIATELY. Well thought-out bursts of justified rage, delivered against our enemies.

[DonViejo]

34. When did Sen. Warren change her middle name to "Fucking"?

[SilasSouleII]

35. I like this

Kudos to senator Warren.

[mcar]

36. She is a badass!

[Jimvanhise]

37. SHEPARD SMITH TRIES

Shepard Smith has debunked some of the Fox News conspiracies (Uranium One, the caravan invasion) but sometimes the talking dread like Hannity just wait a few weeks and then dredge them up again.

[Progressive dog]

38. I hope all of the Democratic candidates

follow Sen. Warren and not help that so called "news" channel continue to profit from lies and hate.

[John Fante]

39. She's the best politician in America.

End of.

[cp]

41. Elizabeth Warren. Leadership.

I'm impressed.

[yardwork]

42. K n fucking r!

[Progressive2020]

43. This Is Great

I am liking Elizabeth Warren more and more as time goes on. She is spot on and pulling ahead of the pack. Her policies and positions are good.

Furthermore, she has really good timing. She takes the right positions and does so in a timely manner, so that she is first on any particular issue. Boycotting Fox News for the reasons she outlined is a smart move.

I am still Undecided, but Elizabeth "The Professor" Warren is currently at the top of my list. I am looking forward to seeing more and more of her, and also want to see her in a debate.

[scuciti]

51. She has stepped up

I so agree. Warren has really upped her game. She has really impressed me. Previously I liked her but i thought she was second tier. I now think she has great potential to move the country.

[certainot]

44. good on her but she can go a lot farther by mentioning talk radio once in a while

that's what's been kicking our ass. get advertiserss to desert rw radio and everything changes and without that buzz sshe becomes a lot more 'acceptable' to msm.

[NJCher]

70. funny--just talking about that a short time ago this evening

I was just telling someone about your points on r-w hate radio. I looked up your post from back in 2012, I believe it was, and sent it around by email.

For my job, I am having to talk with some average type people out in the Midwest. I can hear the effect of r-w hate radio on their thought processes. It has had a long-term effect on how people think in those areas.

[certainot]

71. i think any response to trump idiots could be prefaced with "well, that's what limbaugh/rush has

been repeating every day, but...."

it's such a pervasive continuous buzz and the city-dwelling decision-makers have no idea

[SayItLoud]

45. She nailed tRUMP early on with : "Money grubbing grifters". nt

[JI7]

68. yup, the entire fucking trashy ass family

[NBachers]

46. I would vote for Elizabeth Warren in a New York minute!

[sop]

47. This sort of principled stand sets her apart from the other 21 candidates

Rupert Murdoch's propaganda and disinformation organization has blood on its hands, candidates have to draw the line somewhere. I understand NRATV has a good audience; are candidates going to do townhalls there, too?

[yaesu]

48. I agree with her %100. nt

[aikoaiko]

49. I'm ok with candidates choosing to go or not go on Fox.

Really, I think its ok to take Warren's stance because it is principled, but it is ceding ground. Other's refuse to give up on Americans even if they are dedicated Fox viewers.

[magicarpet]

50. Mince no words....

Fuck Fascists.
Before they do that to you.

[ffr]

52. All Fox News is just vile. Their message should never be promoted.

Boycott RW media. Resist!

[marieo1]

53. A Brilliant lady

I LOVE Elizabeth Warren - it's way past time for Democrats to be bold and speak their minds. So far, she is the only Democrat that is courageous enough and bold enough to speak up. The reps have been doing that for years and Democrats have gotten the brunt of their anger. Democrats are too nice - when dealing with mean, hateful people you have to give them a taste of their own medicine. Elizabeth is not a bit mean or hateful - she is just simply calling it like she sees it. More power to her. Thank you bundles, Mrs. Warren!!

[handmade34]

54. and she persisted...

I love Elizabeth Warren!!

[warmfeet]

55. We deserve a president like this. NT

[dewsgirl]

57. I was afraid to open this thread at first.

[sellitman]

59. Spot on!

She nails it. I hope the rest of the field take notice. Especially my candidate.

[Hekate]

61. Just change her middle name to Awesome and I'm totally on board. Love Liz for telling it like it is

But by the same token I am not going to ding any Dems who want to atrempt outreach once or twice.

[corbettkroehler]

63. She Made Her Country Proud

Honesty is the best policy and her position is honest. I have a single regret to the credit of Faux News:

If you can filter the fabrications, dissembling and bald-faced lies, the network covers many stories (real stories) which I don't see covered elsewhere. I don't know the solution but this sticks in my craw.

[Blue Owl]

65. Fuck Fox "News"

Every goddamned pixel of it.

[JI7]

66. Warren can see through their shit.

[LudwigPastorius]

67. A policy wonk...

with the heart of a street fighter...


I want to see, and weigh, all of the candidates more in depth, but for me, she's still standing out early on.

[samplegirl]

72. Elizabeth Warren should be at the to

of everyone’s list. I hope she is elected!

[xxqqqzme]

73. So far she

has my primary vote. And it gets stringer everyday.

[Cha]

74. I don't get this complaint from a BS surrogate..

76. You got ethics gal! You go! Keeping it classy.

[susanna]

77. And, I am listening. n/t

[Funtatlaguy]

78. I understand both arguments. Warren made the best one

for the side of not going on Fox.
Would love to see her go on Morning Joe to make her point.

[IndyOp]

80. Strong, strong statement

I agree with starving the beast and Fox has a large enough viewership that it cannot only consist of Trump’s base.

One way to get Dem messaging to Fox viewers is to pay for ads - which is the worst option.

In other words, I don’t disagree with Pete’s point that we need to talk with any and all people of good conscience. There are many millions of those who by habit or out of ignorance tune to Fox.

So... how else could that be done?

[JudyM]

83. It doesn't need to be an either/or. We can and should attack on all fronts, as we are.

Brava, Elizabeth!

[SidDithers]

81. The Rude One weighs in...

http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/2019/05/elizabeth-warren-tells-fox-news-to-go.html

Essentially, Warren just declared war on Fox "news." She went far, far further than just declining the town hall. She went for the throat, naming evil where she sees evil. Warren dug up the rotted whale carcass of Roger Ailes, ripped out his femur, and started fucking Tucker Carlson's ass with it.

Look for Fox to react furiously, as Fox will do, likely calling her everything from "Pocahontas" to "Emma Goldman" (actually, Emma Goldman doesn't have a Disney cartoon, so Fox viewers wouldn't understand it). They'll make her seem like Stalin has been reincarnated and that Warren and AOC are gonna be forcing you to eat organic dirt to stay alive while Rashida Tlaib ululates in your ears.

But Warren wouldn't have started this if she didn't know what she was getting into. She could have politely declined and moved on. This is a war she wants. This shows she knows that you have to kill the troll if you want everyone to be able to cross the bridge.

[BlueJac]

82. You got to love her for saying it LOUD and clear!!

[wryter2000]

85. "Hate for profit."

Love it!

86. Kicking, in light of Mayor Pete appearing on Fox tonight...nt
