Why do Democrats go on Fox and give it the appearance of a legitmate news organization??

Fox News is a Republican propaganda channel just as hate radio is, and Democrats should know better than going on it and giving it legitmacy when there are so many other legitmate news networks. I never get the logic of doing it. Those committed Fox News watchers will never vote for Democrat anyway.

and, one hopes, some are still not in Trump's corner. If she convince them to at least leave that box blank, then it is worth it.

Let's be honest. Fox has the highest number of viewers.

why Fox did not broadcast Mr. Khan's speech. Every time a Democratic goes on the first question to the moderator should be some blatant example of bias. Tell them the interview will not continue without an adequate answer. Then walk out if they do not answer.

and some could be convinced, even if only a few. And because the righties can't accuse them of being "afraid" to appear on that network. I feel quite confident in Clinton's and Kaine's ability to handle any of those fake "journalists."

Imho they are to be commended for going on Fox and pushing back.

Can't hurt to at least make an appearance and speak up for oneself.
