Edwards, FNC, and the “boycott”
The Politico’s Shenanigans notes that John Edwards dropped out today and how Edwards didn’t appear on FNC but Obama and Clinton did…
Going back to our earlier post about John Edwards touting a FNC survey after the Las Vegas debate despite his ongoing boycott of Fox News, eyebrows have raised over the fact that Edwards never once went on FNC and now he’s out of the race. There’s no way to prove one affected the other but…put a “W” in the Fox column.
I think Edwards droppin out may have one of thre outcomes. hook, line and sinker. But then again WE THANK WE FREE.

Gosh…I cant see where not going on the Number #1 news network in America might be bad for someone trying to get more votes than he did last time.

Edwards doesn’t hate FOX. Simply, he can’t appear on FNC air while he’s doing his hair.

OMG, yes, Edwards not appearing on Faux News is the sole reason for him not securing the nomination. It couldn’t possibly be that two celebrity candidates were in the race. Those two celebrity candidates ALSO froze Faux News out except for a few bones Fox got thrown here and there.
I just can’t believe Spus would post this crap. Except that he’s been hung up on the fact that Dems (RIGHTFULLY & thankfully) froze Fox out of the debates. But he’s harped on it enough to let his bias be known. I don’t accuse Spud of bias very often, but this is a clear and cut case of it.

Like i said this whole “Boycott” things been one big joke that hasn’t hurt FOX at all…almost all the Dem Candidates have appeared on FOX shows including people from the Edwards camp..also the Silky Pony himself pointed to FOX reports when they benefited him.
And once again no one..but NO ONE has pointed to anything that FOX did in the last Dem. debate they held in ‘04 that was out of bounds compared to anyone else and NO ONE has pointed to any mistreatment that the Silky Pony suffered in his over 30 appearances on FOX shows either…this was simply the Dems kissing the a** of the Daily Kos crowd.
By Nov FOX will host a debate with a Dem in it and so they’ll get the last laugh.
