Here’s him talking to Chris Cuomo about it. Seems like a good call after that bonkers story.

Good, though I like some of the non partisan personalities, the network has just been running misinformation and blind Trump defense.

Hopefully Chris Wallace gets a debate for the GE, he’s one of the best at it.

Both CNN and Fox News have severe right wing biases.

Have PBS Newshour be the only broadcaster. It's smart, unbiased, unsensationalized, and publicly funded.

Pardon me for being a bit lost, but what's the story behind the decision?

That Fox News got the Stormy Daniels story before the election but suppressed it to help Trump.

They tried to host one in 2007 but only Dennis Kucinich agreed to attend as I recall.

GOOD. With the garbage personalities they currently have, I couldn't imagine anything but a massive sh**t show.

Wallace is OK. I would be worried they'd tap Ingraham, Hannity, Carlson, or Pirro, or some other nightmare.

CNN has a corporate/establishment bias, not nessecarily a right wing bias.

Lots of people there were defending Bush when he was in office as well.

It would have been a complete waste of time anyway.

Did the Dems think Fox was a fair and honest outlet before this? I agree with the decision 100% but am unsure as to why this was on the table in the first place.

Perez just doesn’t want the dem candidates to be asked hard questions. The GOP lets all the lefty news outlets hold debates for them and they are right to do so.

Then why didn't the Republicans have a debate on MSNBC in 2016?

Considering CNN did their best to literally act as a foil to Trump and giving him a lot of coverage on his policy positions while giving Clinton none, absolutely.

CNN wants to pander mostly to the left, yes. But they also know Trump being around for longer will make parts of the left pay more attention. So they make sure they do what they do in a way that turns off certain groups of swing voters towards Trump.
