Ok, I’m prone to idle (um, long term) philosophical questions, but this isn’t one. This question is philosophical but also quite practical. The question has material implication.
I’m curious, there is a “kos boycott” of Fox, a sort of hopeful idea that if no progressives go on fox then it goes away or is less damaging to Democrats somehow. This is kos’ policy, and I believe that of many, if not all (I don’t know) dKos front pagers. I don’t know Atrios’ policy, or that of other prominent bloggers.
Not everyone feels this way, I personally am sure they will merely hire actors to play “Democrats” if they have to. They will promote their own Holmes’ All Star Democratic Celebrity League.
But who here is willing to appear on Fox? Are you a well respected liberal blogger?
Update [2006-2-27 16:9:17 by pyrrho]: To be clear, and I’ve mentioned in a comment, I really am interested to know WHICH of you would consider it, and which are in on a boycott, from the point of view that saying you would consider it means you MIGHT BE ASKED.
I didn’t emphasize this to begin because no, I’m not a fox producer, I’m not asking you, I am not in charge of booking, HOWEVER, it’s that close and real, you may be asked. Fox is going to stay around, blogging is getting bigger and bigger, and other conservative outlets are going to want a piece of you too.
Booman, you will be asked if you have not already.
further: At dkos there is some objection to the idea of using the term “boycott”… which I am using loosely, or “policy” which again, I did not mean technically. Surely there is some term to decribe the status of this, eh, “feeling”?
Further, who do you think is prepared for that sort of challenge?
Of course implicit in my question is the whole debate on if it’s a good idea or not… feel free to slog through that again if you like but personally I think it’s a personal decision and the more valid question is just “well, which of you are which, which believe it’s ok to engage the right on their territory, and are willing to, and which are not?”
