Dems Are Considering Freezing The Fox!

Dominion revelations are making Democrats reconsider Fox as a respected news organization.

If we can get Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) to agree to never appear on Fox, then it will be a boycott.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic National Committee chairman Jaime Harrison have considered a full scale avoidance of the far right network.

Biden has not given an interview to Fox since his presidency. He has allowed some in the Administration to go on Fox but it often ends with gotcha questions and conspiracy theories.

Democrats are considering a permanent boycott of the far right network.

Fox and the Biden administration have a tense relationship to say the least. The network has spent most of its time diving into conspiracy theories, white nationalist propaganda, attacks on the president, First Lady Jill Biden, Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, Vice President Kamala Harris, the president's cognitive health, culture wars, the border and endless attacks on Democrats.

There is no indication, at this juncture, that major Democratic entities are ready to halt their ad buys on Fox News, let alone its many affiliates. But that is partially because few Democratic campaigns or causes are currently spending ad money. In the interim, the Dominion lawsuit revelations have led to louder calls for the party to make a firm break from any involvement with the cable channel, whom they view as functionally a campaign arm for Republicans. Democrats spanning the ideological spectrum have even started calling on the White House Correspondents’ Association — the group of news reporters advocating for press access — to boot Fox News reporters from the briefing room.
