Proves Jane Mayer right: Fox is Trump's propaganda outlet, and he's defending it as such.
Trump isn't stanning for Fox because of his deep belief that Chris Wallace is a fair reporter.
The strategic argument for a Fox News debate is that the network's propaganda is so effective that there exists a sizable block of voters who refuse to change the channel to watch a debate on another network... but weak enough that those people might still vote for Democrats.
I am skeptical that the network's propaganda is calibrated to exactly that level.
If you are such a hard core Fox News viewer that you won't watch a Democratic primary debate unless it's literally preempting Hannity, you are not a winnable vote for Democrats.
