Should Obama Go On FOX? (Dan Abrams, MSNBC, and DJK!)

Yes, that's right — that's really me, DJK (aka Jonathan Kim) on MSNBC's Verdict with Dan Abrams! It's my first television appearance, and I have to tell you that it was a very strange experience. But more on that later.

The topic of discussion was whether it was a good idea for Barack Obama to give in to Chris Wallace's Obama clock and appear on FOX News Sunday on April 27. As you can see, I think I was probably the most adamant about the fact that Obama really has little to gain from "addressing the FOX audience" since FOX will dissect every possible aspect of the interview to extract every possible microgram of negativity conceivable. And FOX is perfectly willing to lie to do it. And Abrams pointed out, Obama is legitimizing FOX as a news source, which is exactly what allowed FOX to gain the influence it has — by maintaining the appearance of a news network when they are really a republican propaganda machine.

The best way for Obama to turn his bad decision into a positive is if he goes after FOX and shows democrats and the world that he is, in fact, "in touch" with what democrats and most of the world knows — that FOX is a republican propaganda machine. He'll earn more respect of his base and show that he understands the role that FOX plays in legitimizing republican talking points. He'll show that he knows how the system works.

And if there's any fear that he might lose votes by alienating FOX voters, remember this — in the 2004 election, 88% of FOX viewers voted for George W. Bush while only 7% voted for John Kerry. Even white evangelicals, gun owners, Iraq war supporters, and conservatives didn't produce margins like that.

Now I know why I don't watch tv anymore. Because all the douches on both networks would make me want to punch holes into the tv.

hmm. one side that supports oil over green energy, that refuses to teach science in favor of religion and thinks only white men should be at the top.

or one that teaches that everyone IS equal, that non-Christians should have the rights of everyone else and that science is the way of the future.

i dunno about you, but msnbc sound better. at least their messages aren't full of hate and bigotry.

that's not true! while MSNC may be on the left side of the political spectrum, they NEVER make xenophobic and/or racist comments; they don't take part in the massive fearmongering like FOX and first and foremost: they don't LIE - which FOX does constantly!

FOX spreads LIES, FALSE STATEMENTS all the time - NO OTHER NETWORK is fearmongering and LIEING as much as FOX news!

you just can't deny this, if you are honest. (but then, most conservatives, most of FOX's audience aren't)

@iamtheplauge I totally agree. I do live in the US, but I, like others in this country, recognize that there are alternatives to this media. To anyone critical of either Fox or MSNBC, try to see the big picture. Both Fox and MSNBC are biased commentary disguised as news. I watch the BBC and CNN International for news on TV (not that I watch TV that often) but I still watch Fox and MSNBC, because I, like most Americans, am a sucker for stupidity and excuses not to solve problems.
