Should our Democratic candidate spend campaign money on Fox News channel
I know the point is to reach as many people as possible but to support a network (and buying spots on their networks does indeed support them)that is actively doing everything in it's power to defeat us seems counter productive to me. Democrats are going to have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend on campaign ads. I would hope the very great majority if not all are bought on neutral networks instead of openly biased right wing networks such as Fox News Network...

1. HELL no.
And all Democrats should refuse to appear on show that's on Faux. Except The Simpsons.

2. First, there are NO neutral networks. That being said, I agree that Faux should
not receive a sinlge cent from any Democratic candidate. Neither should any appear on that electronic piece of shit.

To those who say that that policy would "play into their hands" or some such bullshit, my response is that they will make up shit anyway, whether the Democrat is there or not. I think that if the boycott was complete, what little "damage" might be done would more than be compensated for by the unspoken (literally) message that Faux is not a news channel.

3. FAUX News should have absolutely NO role in the Democratic Party
They should not have sponsored any debates, they DAMN sure should not be in charge of the convention video coverage in Denver, and it goes without saying that Hillary should have never accepted money from that neocon piece of shit Murdoch.

4. I doubt the FOX audience will vote for a Democrat--why waste the money?
I'm positive there are much better vehicles than FOX to reach target voters!

5. Absolutely not
They should not waste one penny of their money on a wingnut propaganda tool like Fox.
