This is exactly the tone that every single Democrat needs to take with Fox News, and in the long run it will help the other (actual) cable news networks with their own identities, assuming they are finally over being the "me, too!" network to Fox. You can't beat FNC in the cable news ratings because it isn't news, it's reality TV with its own orbit of stars, or rather it's alternative reality, with assumed values of a fictionalized works and soap opera-long plotlines."The reality of it is that Fox News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party. And it is not ideological... what I think is fair to say about Fox, and the way we view it, is that it is more of a wing of the Republican Party.""Obviously [the President] will go on Fox because he engages with ideological opponents. He has done that before and he will do it again... when he goes on Fox he understands he is not going on it as a news network at this point. He is going on it to debate the opposition.""[Fox is] widely viewed as a part of the Republican Party: take their talking points and put them on the air, take their opposition research and put it on the air. And that's fine. But let's not pretend they're a news organization like CNN is."
In any case, it's nice to have Dems with cajones and like Rep. Alan Grayson (R-FL), Ms. Dunn has them:
Now let's see if FNC fairly covers the real story happening right now in our America.

I couldn't bear to watch. Did conflict-of-interest Howie act like he had no idea what she was talking about?
What do you think? Howie never disappoints...
No Dem should ever appear on Fox.
"Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views."
Rational thought has left this nation. The left hasn't been really making arguments on how to make things work, but would rather plead to your emotional side and just say it's the right thing todo.
Who is to say your "right thing todo" is the actual right thing todo. Is it right to raise the minimum wage at the cost of another's job? Is it right to give out handouts and pass the cost on to the entire tax collective? Give something to someone and you have to take away from another. So is it right to champion these causes, at the expense of personal responsibility?
Personally I'd like to see an entire "house cleaning" on both sides. The democrats, because their a bunch of fiscal dolts, and the republicans because they're a bunch of spineless ninnies spouting tired FUD rhetoric. The White House has apparently declared war on Fox News for one reason only... 2010 and they're digging their trenches now, prepared to fight dirty to win.
