No – not for President, but I am supporting him in this:
Talking Points Memo’s Greg Sargent is reporting today that the Romney campaign has fired a broadside at Fox News, which issued a directive in the wake of John McCain’s “Woodstock ad” forbidding the use of their footage for campaign advertisements.
Yes candidates should be allowed to use debate footage, as well as any citizen of this country. When deciding who will next lead out country, we should have access to all information.
One of the problems right now is that all the debates have been on cable, with the exception of one Democratic debate on PBS. Don’t the citizens of this country without cable deserve access to these debates?
What we need is actual laws imposed, which should be part of a larger campaign reform action. In this section the debates should be aired on publicly accessible television and radio so all Americans have the chance to listen. There must not be any special rules for cable either. FOX News is trying to hijack our democracy like terrorists hijacked Afghanistan. It is time to put an end to that.
Of course I am sitting here thinking about all the grief the Democrats got for skipping the FOX debate. Gee – I guess the Republicans are feeling pretty foolish now – aren’t they?
