Which is pretty much the entire press corps, with a few notable exceptions.
I don’t like Joe Biden, but when he’s right, he’s right.
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Joe Biden on Friday questioned how his Democratic presidential rivals could skip a debate involving the Congressional Black Caucus. The Delaware senator, who will participate in a New Hampshire debate on Sunday, is one of two candidates signed onto a fall debate on Fox News and the sole person who has agreed to an Iraq-only debate next week.
In a telephone interview Friday, Biden called out fellow Democrats for bowing out of the Sept. 23 Detroit debate co-sponsored by Fox News Channel and the political education and leadership institute of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Democratic candidates have been under pressure to shun the debate from liberal groups who say Fox is biased against Democrats. Biden said Fox’s role in the debate doesn’t matter.
At least the guy has the guts, and the principles, to stick up for what he believes.
What’s more interesting, though, is that both Biden’s and the Demcorats’ actions on this issue are tacit admissions of liberal media bias. If the Democrats won’t go on Fox it means they’re only willing to appear on networks that are friendly with them. And with journalism supposedly an objective, non-biased profession...what else is that friendliness but bias?
