  "Obama's decision comes three days after former Sen. John Edwards, another Democratic presidential candidate, announced he was pulling out of the Fox-sponsored debate." "Without Edwards or Obama, the debate would lack two marquee contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination."

  If we(FOXNews viewers) aren't good enough for Obama then Obama isn't good enough for us. Same goes for Edwards. In my case, I was considering voting for Obama. I suppose I am glad to learn early on that he's just another typical liberal bigot. Shame on him! Doesn't he want to be everyone's president?

  Personally I'd go on Fox. It did wonders for Bill Clinton.

  I find it vastly entertaining, amusing if you will, the one news station they believe to be so biased, is the one news station they refuse to appear on. Seems to me they do not care to "attempt" to reach, or change, a large public opinion about them (Clinton has now been added to this list, as well). Are they afraid Fox News will not allow them to speak their political rhetoric, but instead push for more legitimate responses?

  Good for Obama

  There seem to be too many people watching Faux that aren't aware of how slanted their news really is.

  Its time to call them at their game and shed a little light on the bias neocon media. Time to explain to America just what has been going on at Faux. Hopefully a boycott will do just that.

  Enough of puk whining about the liberal media.

  I am always astonished at the decisions politicians make. Don't they want to reach a larger audience - independents and conservatives? Why do they want to "preach to the choir"?

  I'd love to hear more from Obama.

  If candidates are unwilling to speak to ALL Americans, they will only lose credibility. Do they think they are only going to be the president for half of Americans?

  this is good. finally a dem with enough backbone to call them the way he sees them. call fox what it is, a propaganda arm of the RNC and the whitehouse.

  "My Fox guys, I love every single one of them."

  there's a reason fox is the only station that cheney watches and where he prefers to give interviews.

  FOX news is a joke. Just check out their website. It's only slightly more restrained than Rush Limbaugh's website.

  It's like reading White House press releases.

  Still, Bill Clinton scored big by confronting the Devils.

  It's true that Fox NEws could be called Con Central or the

  Bush Report, or the GOP Spin Station. The Democratic candidates are making that point in a very public way.

  Still, many people will check out Fox just to see for themselves, and may get caught up in the B.S. That's why I feel it's best they go into the bizzaro universe of Fox, confront the beast, and try and rescue as many viewers as they can.

  Yes, most Fox viewers are rock solid Con heads, and would never consider switching their support, but if just one mind can be freed it would be a noble and worthwhile mission.

  I actually watch faux from time to time

  It became almost amusing listening to hannity and brillo hound guests on various topics, then to hear brillo with his sactimonious wrap-up in response to selected mail. It serves as a real education, but only if you know what to look for.

  The funniest aspect of Faux is how blatant they can be and yet continually deny they are. Tells you alot about how cons percieve right and wrong.
