The DNC should ban Fox News from the convention property...

[mckeown1128]

Fox News all day has brought republican after republican out onto the convention floor to attack Obama.

For example "It seems the Democratic Convention is a success... including to those outside selling anti-Obama books...we'll talk to one of these concerned citizens next"....procceded by interview with smear merchant on the floor of the convention. Fox using it's "fair and balanced" style.



Why why why?????

1. I am sure that Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow will have equal access during The RNC.

2. If they couldn't cover the convention, you know how they'd fill their airtime?

Yikes! At least they can cut to live coverage while they're refilling their gasbags.

3. yeah - great opportunity for the RW "news" machine to get us close and

personal with their hypocritical attacks. Sigh. Whomever thinks of them as news has some perceptual issues...


. However, the MS news folks are doing a pretty good job at spreading whatever the meme of the moment is.... :eyes:

4. No they shouldn't!

My boyfriend was watching last night and he was howling because they had to turn off their cameras as the protesters advanced towards them yelling "Fuck Fox News!" "Fuck Fox News!"

5. They are catering to their audience is all...

an audience of racists, misogynists and other undesirables. C-SPAN is an option ya know...

Maybe you are a masochist? Just turn it off...

6. I think it's Fox's gear that's running the pool feed.

I remember that being a big story when the pool reporting deal was announced.

Throw Fox out - no coverage, pretty much.

- as

7. Too late now, but it could be done for 2012.

I don't see where First Amendment freedom of the press gives anyone the "right" to press credentials anytime they want.
