This was interesting. So the DNC has told Fox News that due to its inappropriate relationship with Trump that it won't allow it to host a Democrat debate in the upcoming new cycle. I would normally fully support this position, as I completely agree that Fox is too cozy with Trump and the Republicans and that there needs to be separation between party and media. However, its hard not to laugh at this position knowing that in 2016 the head of the DNC was simultaneously employed by CNN who DID host a Democrat debate.
Thus we are setting a continued bad precedent of separating media by party lines. If the RNC follows this script, then only Fox will host Republican debates, and a media which is already distrusted across the spectrum moves further in simply becoming propaganda arms for their respected parties.
