DNC will not let Fox televise its 2020 debates
Posted by Josh Taylor / March 7, 2019
A New Yorker recently revealed that, before the election, Fox News learned that Trump paid Stormy Daniels hush-money in order to keep their affair secret and killed the story. When a reporter brought the story to Fox news exec Ken LaCorte, he said, “Good reporting, kiddo. But Rupert [Murdoch] wants Donald Trump to win. So just let it go.” The author of that bombshell piece has called Fox News “state-support, state-sponsored television.”
The fallout of that piece is just beginning. The Democratic National Committee has announced that it will not allow Fox News to televise their primary debates. The DNC believes that Fox News will not be able to provide unbiased coverage of the debates. According to the president of the DNC, the New Yorker report cited above proved that Fox News was “not in a position to host a fair and neutral debate for our candidates.” He also called the relationship between Trump and Fox News “inappropriate.”
Trump has already Tweeted in retaliation:
“Democrats just blocked @FoxNews from holding a debate,” he said in a tweet Wednesday night. “Good, then I think I’ll do the same thing with the Fake News Networks and the Radical Left Democrats in the General Election debates!”
