More Bad News For the Fox Debate
NM Gov. Bill Richardson now says he won't attend the Aug. Fox News debate in Nevada.
Remember, Richardson's WH '08 strategy runs through Nevada.
Our prediction: by next week, this debate will be as good as dead. Or revivified in an entirely different form.

Hmmm,
When you have the head of a supposedly neutral news outlet making statements like the one below, how are Democrats supposed to feel? Ailes dug a hole for his network with his ridiculous comments. And no, his jokes weren't funny. Just like Ann Coulter's "joke" about Edwards wasn't funny.
" It is true that just in the last two weeks Hillary Clinton has had over 200 phone calls telling her in order to win the presidency she must stay on the road for the next two years. It is not true they were all from Bill.
[Laughter]
And it is true that Barack Obama is on the move. I don't know if it's true that President Bush called Musharraf and said, 'Why can't we catch this guy?'

Update: The Politico reports that the debate has been cancelled. MoveOn, DailyKos, etc win big. Fox comes out looking like the partisan propaganda outfit they are, and lose credibility in the process.

Do you really think Fox loses in this? It's a victory for DKos and MoveOn, but I thought most Dems try to distance themselves from the fringe Left. It seems bizarre to me. And this op/ed, via Drudge, shows that side of it. I have no idea if the Review-Journal is a conservative or liberal publication, but it's the kind of take I'd expect the average American to have.

"I have no idea if the Review-Journal is a conservative or liberal publication, but it's the kind of take I'd expect the average American to have."
Okay, citing Drudge and quoting an editorial that refers to the bloggers as "the socialist, Web-addicted wing of the Democratic Party" is hardly a great rebuttal. The only "mainstream" Americans that use the word socialist in daily lexicon are the neocons spewing their propaganda.
