Amazing to watch an entire segment on this that doesn't mention the key issue Warren laid out in refusing to do a Fox News town hall -- that she would be helping the network by letting them sell ads and build their brand against her exclusive content.
I realize that it's in the interest of cable news hosts to make it seem like the *only* way to reach out to a set of voters is through the cable news network they watch, but that's not really how this works.
Anyway since the Morning Joe panel is so eager to draw a distinction between the "news" and "opinion" side, here's our study showing how Fox's "news" side pushed misinformation every day for four months straight this year: mediamatters.org/research/2019/…
And my review of the time "news" side correspondent Griff Jenkins pushed Seth Rich conspiracy theories on-air: mediamatters.org/blog/2019/05/1…
And a thorough review of the FoxNews.com Seth Rich story the "news" side published and eventually retracted. Fox promised to investigate how that happened, but wouldn't you know it, they've said nothing and publicly disciplined no one: mediamatters.org/blog/2019/05/1…
Fox needs the "news" side hosts to take the heat off the network's core business of monetizing misinformation, disinformation, and outright bigotry to promote the conservative movement and Republican Party. That's what they're there for. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/03/0…
