Left, Fox News' Bill Sammon tells @daveweigel Democrats should do primary debates on the network to "connect to more Americans."

Right, Sammon explains in 2011 that he pretended Barack Obama was a socialist on-air during the 2008 election even though he knew it was bullshit.
@daveweigel In the days leading up to the 2008 election, Sammon also tried to get others at Fox to push the Obama is a socialist line as well mediamatters.org/blog/2011/02/0…
@daveweigel Full rundown on Sammon -- including leaked emails showing him trying to slant the network's coverage to the right -- is here: mediamatters.org/research/2015/…
@daveweigel I hope Tom Perez was just being polite during an on-air Fox interview, because actually going through with a primary debate on Fox would be sheer madness.
