Attention Democrats

For all the criticism of Howard Dean, THIS is how you handle the press, and how you deal with FoxNews:

Asked by a reporter Sunday to reply to Cheney's criticisms, Dean said: "My view is that Fox News is a propaganda outlet of the Republican Party and that I don't comment on Fox News." The response drew applause from the room.

Party leadership in Washington should start up this cue now and give it to FoxNews each time they are asked to appear:

"FoxNews is the propaganda arm of the Republican Party. Until it ceases to be so, and makes a good faith attempt to actually be 'fair and balanced' I will not appear on your network."

Each time this is presented to FoxNews, it should be provided to the wire services as well.

Let them have their propaganda without enabling it. They will quickly learn the score.
