Harris should refuse Fox because they have claimed in court to be an entertainment channel and not a news organization. If she does use her ABC time she should post that on a giant screen behind her podium.

She should agree to Fox if:

  1. It takes place after ABC (so Trump doesn't bail)

  2. Fox airs an explanation, immediately before and after the debate, for the $750 million+ settlement concerning the Big Lie.

Considering how quick they are to point out that Biden legitimately won the 2020 election now that they had to pay out, Harris should hammer the point that Biden won in 2020 to poke the bear that is Trump. We'll see if Fox is willing to be sued again and not call him on it or cut him off.

This is a very good point. If she ever ends up on Fox (hope not), it would be negligent not to use this attack. T**** lost, and he still can't admit this basic, important fact. A fact his lawyers, all around the country, could not escape, in even the most friendly jurisdiction. Some of them are now disbarred because of this. Fox News paid an incredible sum (and lost Cucker) because of this.

And continuously scrolling on the bottom during the while thing.

Read article that she refused and told Trump he needs to stick to the debate he already agreed to on a prime time channel. Not all of us have cable but lots of people can pick up ABC. She said she be there whether he is or not.

I think you mean "broadcast channel" and yes I wholeheartedly agree.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They have already responded. Flat out said stop playing games and show up on the 10th or I'll use that prime time spot on my own. Perfectly executed.

"We're happy to discuss further debates after the one both campaigns have already agreed to," he added. "Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he's too scared to show up on the 10th."

Gold.

She already is sticking to the scheduled debate that will be next week and starting that they can schedule additional ones. The whole Fox News stunt likely is an attempt to avoid debate at all.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The scheduled debate is Sep 10, not next week
