Top Dems To Boycott Fox News-Sponsored Debate

Clinton and Obama announced Monday that they will follow the lead of John Edwards by boycotting a Fox News-sponsored debate next fall.

This is long overdue. The Democrats have, for too long, lent an undeserved measure of legitimacy to a "news" network so biased against them that regular Fox News viewers voted for Bush in greater numbers than any other demographic group save for registered Republicans. That's right: more than white males. More than evangelical Christians.

So why, exactly, should any Democrat ever consent to be seen on their air?

Frequent Fox News guest Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CT) could not be reached for comment, as he and Roger Ailes were spelunking in Mr. Bush's colon.
