Beto O'Rourke: I'd 'absolutely' do a Fox town hall
PoliticoDAVENPORT, Iowa Beto ORourke said Monday he would absolutely do a Fox News town hall breaking with some of his Democratic rivals who've sworn off the pro-Trump network.
Absolutely, ORourke said when asked about his willingness to appear on Fox. This campaign is about going to where people are, and you see that physically in where I show up. But it also has to be in those channels or those social media streams where people get their news and their information. That also includes Fox.
Speaking to reporters after touring flood damage in eastern Iowa, ORourke said he was unaware of any current talks with Fox, but that it's possible his campaign has had discussions.
Very open to doing that, he said.

Apparently the wisdom of the bloggers escapes him...

It is asinine not to do a townhall on a 24-hr cable network because you don't approve of some of their programming.
You're trying to be the leader of the free world; act like it.
I can't stand Rachel Maddow and her half-hour conspiracy theories. Wolf Blitzer is as exciting as a piece of toast. If I were running for president, I would still go on their networks and talk to voters for an hour of free advertising! Hello?!
