Bernie Sanders (NOT A DEMOCRAT) bucked the trend of all the other candidates ( WHO ARE DEMOCRATS ) running for Presidents to appear on Fox News. Even though Fox News is a probably the MOST destructive force in our American Democracy. Sanders was warned by many many people this was a mistake on so many levels. But once again Sander’s selfish crusade dismissed the united front of (real) Democrats.
The reviews are saying Sanders was great — right in the lions den . There is even recommended diary on here saying how amazing Sanders Medicare Answer was during the debate . Well I recall that HRC destroyed Trump in all three 2016 debates . She wiped the floor with Trump showing she was more qualified . Trump came off like an unprepared bully.
But as we learned debates aren’t only won at the podium —
1. I held my nose and turned on Fox News this morning. Their hosts were positively shredding Bernie Sanders, mocking and laughing at him. Do you think Fox News will show the Medicare clip every again?
2. Meanwhile on Joe Scarborough is advising Democrats to go on Fox News like Bernie Sanders did last night. So now every Democrat is in a lose lose situation and will be asked about Fox News the rest of the campaign
3. The Worse part is Fox News is currently in the Up Front season . Where media companies “pre sell “ 70% of their ad inventory. Fox News has actually had a bad year — the accusations of being Trump Pravda have hurt their “news” brand which has scared away advertisers. Well thank god for Bernie Sanders!
Fox News will leverage Sen. Bernie Sanders’ town hall to sanitize its brand
So to review
1. Sanders getting mocked on Fox News this morning
2. Democratic Candidates will get the same treatment but will now be pressured to go on Fox News because one selfish Candidate
3. Fox News using Sanders town hall to show they are “Fair and Balanced” to sell to advertisers.
Way to Go Bernie!!!!
