Viewers (including Democrats and Independents) won't look upon a Democratic candidate's avoidance as a sign that they shouldn't watch.
Nobody said they would. But, you never know. It's more likely that a candidate's REJECTION of Fox News would do that, compared to a candidate treating Fox News as if they were anything other than the RW propaganda machine that they actually are. Why deny it? Why be contrary?
25. How do you propose to "de-legitimze" them?
Exactly as I said. By not bothering to show up in the first place. Why give them a little "feather" to display in their MAGA cap? Fox News is a cesspool. Why voluntarily swim in a cesspool? It serves no good purpose for a candidate to stoop so low and denigrate themselves, or to do things that cause their standards or integrity to be questioned.

Absolutely not. Fox News needs to be marginalized and de-legitimized. Fuck them.

Each candidate has valid reasons to do or not do. Whether they do or don't doesn't matter to me
