Maher bemoaned what he called a “terrible decision” by the DNC to exclude Fox News from televising its candidate debates.
By Michael Brice-Saddler Michael Brice-Saddler General Assignment Reporter Email Bio Follow March 16 at 2:57 PM Bill Maher on Friday implored Democrats to “grow a pair” and embrace opportunities to appear on Fox News — marking yet another plea from the comedian for liberals to avoid an “echo chamber” and confront ideologies that differ from their own.
“Okay, so why not go on Fox News and tell them that?” Maher asked, prompting thunderous applause from spectators. “The audience is against them, and they don’t care because it’s an opportunity to expose people to your side of the story,” Maher said. He applauded Rep. Eric Swalwell , who has made numerous appearances on Fox News, and invoked 2017 data that shows 19 percent of voters — encompassing both sides of the aisle — relied on the network as their primary source for news.
I’ve been on nearly every @FoxNews show. I don’t go on because I accept the views of theirs hosts, but because I respect that some of their viewers are open-minded. Viewers like my parents & in-laws for starters. We should talk to them. Getting them on our side will save America.
