David Rhodes claim that the Nevada Democratic Caucus caved to pressure from MoveOn and the netroots is just plain wrong. Harry Reid and Tom Collins have released the letter they sent to FOX regarding the decision. TPMCafe has the full letter, but here is the money quote:
To say the least, this was not a popular decision. But it is one that the Democratic Party stood by. However, comments made last night by FOX News President Roger Ailes in reference to one of our presidential candidates went too far. We cannot, as good Democrats, put our party in a position to defend such comments.
Catch that David? It was your boss and his nasty partisan attacks that cost your network the debate. The statement you released last night just furthers the belief that FOX is a mouth piece for the radical right. Maybe you should ask Roger to issue a statement now about what happened and see how much more damage he can do to your network.
