Here in the U.S., the presidential election season, like Christmas, seems to start earlier and earlier each time.
In keeping with this, the Democratic National Committee is making waves by announcing that it will exclude Fox News, which has the largest viewership of the major cable news networks by a considerable margin, from debate coverage of DNC presidential candidates.
Thomas Lifson outlines a number of reasons this may not be a good move.
One is that from a historical and strategy perspective:
Presidential debates inevitably favor the challengers. Trump can push them in that direction by agreeing to debates only if Fox News is included. That forces them to either accept FNC or have no debates at all. If they accept, that makes FNC the debate worth watching. The rest are discredited as Democrat "safe spaces,"
And it appears he has pounced and done exactly that from his twitter account:
Democrats just blocked @FoxNews from holding a debate. Good, then I think I’ll do the same thing with the Fake News Networks and the Radical Left Democrats in the General Election debates!
Really all either party has to do is A) not be crazy and/or B) keep their idiot mouths shut to win.
Neither of these seems to be in the cards dealt to either side, so it should be a heck of a ride.

I don't do twitter, and I don't need Mueller's report and the wealthy version of "justice" to see Trump for what he is. Your last hope is a corruption of justice and it is supremely sad to see conservatives not just making false accusations but now actively defending criminals.
Simply astounding, and none of this requires "fake news" outlets as much of the evidence was publicly announced by the idiot-in-chief, confirmed by his idiot personnel, and backed up by the absolutely amazing number of criminal convictions within Trump's inner circle since he became POTUS.
Go ahead, insult away, any person with an ounce of common sense who has NOT been thoroughly brain-raped by FNC can see this if they bother to actually pay attention to these details.

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean. Are you arguing that Trump is guilty of "corruption of justice"? (It's obstruction, not corruption by the way) And can you give me the rundown on the evidence that meets each element of this crime? Try not to listen to that party hack, Jerry Nadler as he would sell his own mother for another two years in the House. I can only assume you have swallowed the hook, line and sinker that firing Comey is some kind of obstruction despite the implications that he himself obstructed justice in the case for Hillary and her magic emails. Perhaps it was the firing of Andrew McCabe who was dismissed for lying to the FBI itself. He was investigated by the IG office and recommended for prosecution to the Attorney General. Care to explain to the rest of us plebes how Trump "corrupted" justice?
