Elizabeth Warren Talks Rejecting Fox News Town Hall - The View

2. Its a tough decision. I disagree with her but I appreciate her explaination.

Between as she says, making Fox executives a lot of money for Fox, plus the ability to use those TH as "proof" of how unbiased they are.

and reaching a large audience that may be on the bubble about Trump, but never actually hear the facts, or hear anyone from the other side. And also have built up a charactature of some of the candidates created by Fox News and Donald Trump, and might be surprised, in a good way, to hear someone like Warren speak.


I still think she is wrong about it on balance. 1. Fox News already makes a ton of money. They will continue to. I gather that the income from one of these THs is a drop in the bucket of their yearly earnings. So that angle is feeble, compared to the benefits in my second point. 2. The propaganda angle - that Fox News can use it to "prove" how "fair and balanced" they are? Again quite feeble in that I really don't think too many Democrats will suddenly have an epiphany that...hey...you know what?....Fox News is actually completely balanced. I also don't think too many Fox News fanatics will respect Fox News any more than they do, or ever needed to be convinced how wonderfully unbiased they are.

No, on balance, the benefits of going on Fox News for a TH outweighs the cons by a large margin. Think about it, what do you care more about?....Some Fox News executive getting a bigger bonus at Christmas, or a Democrat squeeking out a win, partly helped by one of these THs where just enough viewers either didn't vote for Trump. or voted Libertarian instead. Or even voted Democratic.
