Chris Wallace, host of "Fox News Sunday" has been whining that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is refusing to appear on his show for an interview he agreed to "730 days ago." According to Brian Stelter, of the New York Times blog, The Caucus, "Mr. Wallace introduced “The Obama Watch,” a countdown clock borrowed from the Fox show “24″ (complete with the tick-tock noise) that displayed the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds that have passed since Mr. Obama apparently promised to appear."
Boo fucking hoo.
Wallace and Fox "News" have themselves to blame for Democratic candidates refusing to appear on the network. As everyone with a partially functioning brain knows, the network is biased toward the GOP. It shouldn't even be regarded as a legitimate news outlet at this point. Regarding Obama, Fox's talking heads have gone out of their way to distort viewers' impressions of him and have on numerous occasions accidentally conflated his name onscreen with terrorist Osama Bin Laden's. That is, as one of my colleague's would say, subliminal huckery.
It is the Fox network that deals dishonestly with the public and with the candidates. Not just Obama, but the entire Democratic party should boycott any and all appearances on the network going forward. There's just no reason to legitimize it with their participation.
