The Problem

Good for Edwards.

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards on Friday pulled out of a second debate co-hosted by Fox News Channel, saying the cable network has a conservative slant.

The Edwards campaign said it will not attend the Sept. 23 debate hosted by Fox News and the Congressional Black Caucus Institute, but officials added that Edwards will participate in a different debate hosted by the institute and CNN.

The problem with Fox News is not that's it's conservative, it's that it's Republican. It functions as a propaganda arm of the Republican Machine.
