Drudge and Politico are reporting that far-left bloggers are outraged by the recent appearances of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on FOXNEWS.
Adding insult to injury, Howard Dean, DNC Chairman, is scheduled to meet with Chris Wallace on the up-coming FOXNEWS SUNDAY.
Far-lefties like Markos Moulitsas, founder of DailyKos, whined that, “Democrats are being idiotic by appearing on that network.”
Roger Ailes, president of FOXNEWS fired back that, “More democrats watch FOXNEWS than watch CNN and MSNBC."
FOXNEWS has long been the target of left-wing hatred and was successfully boycotted last year in early democrat debates.
Mike Allen of Politico.com noted that, “The democratic leader’s new openness to FOX reflects the liberal left’s diminishing power. Once feared by democrats, these activists are now viewed as an impediment to winning...”

On a personal note, what I see here, on the part of all three presidential contenders, is a major effort to woo moderate voters in the middle. Bloggers on the left and the right have regularly complained that the candidates do not reflect their core values.
