The Democrats will not be debating on Fox News this year.
The Democratic National Committee said Wednesday that"Fox News will not serve as a media partner for the 2020 Democratic primary debates."The organization cited recent reporting in The New Yorker about the mutually beneficial relationship between Fox and the Trump administration. DNC chair Tom Perez called it an"inappropriate relationship."The DNC has been in talks with many networks, including CNN and Fox, about holding primary season debates.
But Fox anchors and some conservatives had been urging the DNC to include Fox in the primary debate lineup. The New Yorker article -- which summarized past reporting by other outlets and added new information from dozens of sources -- made the case that Fox is a propaganda machine the likes of which the United States has never seen before.After the article came out, former DNC staffer Adam Parkhomenko tweeted that"the DNC should not be doing any debates on Trump's state media channel.
