With two big Fox News interviews this week--Obama/ Wallace last Sunday, and Clinton/ O'Reilly this Wednesday--progressive Democrats aren't likely to be pleased that the party's candidates are spending so much time on Rupert Murdoch's cable network.
So right after the news broke of Clinton's upcoming appearance on "The O'Reilly Factor," I caught up with Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas to get his take.
"Democrats are being idiotic by going on that network," Moulitsas said by phone. "It’s the sort of stupidity you’re not going to see from John McCain."
Indeed, Moulitsas said that Daily Kos is a site that's hostile to Republicans in the same way that he believes Fox News is toward Democrats. And Moulitsas added that starting something like Chris Wallace's "Obama Watch," wouldn't work on the Republicans.
"You think if I started taunting McCain he’d go on Daily Kos," he asked? "Of course not."
"Clinton going on O’Reilly, at the end of the day, shows she’ll do anything in the pursuit of power," Moulitsas said. "It’s an ugly trait."
(Not surprisingly, Wallace offered me the opposite take last December).
“Democrats are being idiotic ...,” Moulitsas said by phone. “It’s the sort of stupidity you’re not going to see from John McCain.”
Hey Kos, politicians actually want an audience so they’ll go where the eyeballs are. If Fox News’ ratings weren’t high, they wouldn’t go there. Plus it’s a lead pipe cinch that O’Reilly will be as obsequious to Mrs. Clinton as possible.
BORe is a liar, demagogue, and falafel-fondling pervert. I see you haven’t been long enough on FR to discover BORe’s hypocrisy and vile propaganda.
He also goes after child molesters and judges who let them go only to molest again and again.
Head KOmmie KOs Alert!
Sure.....I’ll see if I can find the threads where he conducted a week-long jihad against FR.
where = when
Well, I end up watching him almost every night. But then, TV is SO bad that he’s better than some of the other trash on the tube.
According to BOR, FR is a “hate site”. LOL.
I can’t stand watching the pompous ahole, but am tempted to watch how BOR treats Clinton tonight - it should be amusing.
So is this the live thread? :)
I love live rat-trashing threads.
The Democrat presidential candidates are reaching out to the operation chaos vote!
Last week, after attending Hillary's rally in downtown Pgh on Monday afternoon and returning to Pgh for Senator Obama's evening gathering at the Peterson Center, I voted for Senator Obama and all of his delegates. It did not disappoint me that Hillary won the PA vote. Neither Hillary nor Barry is dumb enough to continue the foolish and counterproductive occupation of Iraq, promoted by Sen. McCain, for very long next year.
He compared FR to the daily KOS as extremist vile sites or some such, it’s been within the last 10 months.
