What’s wrong with this picture?
Democractic consultant Mark Mellman spends considerable space bashing FNC in The Hill but then says that it shouldn’t be boycotted…
UPDATE: Mellman has been on FNC at least 88 times since 1997.
None of this argues for a boycott of Fox. While harboring no illusions, Democrats should try to communicate on Fox and through every other channel. I appear as a guest and will continue to, in the unlikely event they invite me again. However, if Fox wants the legitimacy afforded by official sponsorship of Democratic debates, it needs to become a relatively objective news organization, not a dispenser of partisan cant.
