Lookee! Kos is calling the Nevada Democrat(ic?)s dimwits for letting Fox News, the "propaganda arm" of the Republican noise machine, sponsor a Democrat(ic?) presidential debate.
Say, that is kinda nutty, ain't it? Say, who's running the Nevada Democrat(ic?)s anyway. Jim Gibbons?
par for the course I guess....

Here's the thing that bugs me -- FNC puts significantly fewer resources into news gathering than any other cable tv channel (or for that matter, than VGO) and it relies heavily, for its profits, on free or manufactured content that caters very deeply to a very narrow demographic (offering a "pure" audience for advertisers); thats the key to right-wing talk radio and to FNC.
By giving them free content that will appeal primarily to political junkies, the NDSP is enabling.
If they want to put Dems before Fox viewers, negotiate for one on one interviews like Clinton did (a format that punishes Fox for the lack of preparation by its lazy hosts and for its lack of a research staff) or simply create a 10-episode show (are there 10 Dem candidates now, including Graves?).
I agree it is dimwitted to give them a debate or candidate forum.
That said, I haven't read Kos for over a year and feel much the smarter for it.
