Interesting story about Democrats who appear regularly on Fox News:

“Speaking about those issues is not my forte,” said Chadderdon. “And I’m getting the tar kicked out of me.”

So why does she keep doing it? For pretty much the same reason Willie Sutton robbed banks. Fox is where the viewers are — No. 1 in the prime-time news ratings and drawing more than twice as many viewers on weeknights as either MSNBC or CNN.

“You know how I know nobody watches CNBC?” said Chadderdon. “I compared the pope to my 11th-grade algebra teacher, and nobody sent me a letter.

lets put that into perspective. You left out the paragraph before that that is quite telling.

More recently, Chadderdon has been invited to talk business with Fox’s Neil Cavuto — on the main network and on the two-year-old Fox Business Network — even though she readily admits that she has no background in economics.

Fox certainly isnt' the only one that does this, all of the networks do. Seriously, how do you explain Alan Colms having a job, anywhere? They pick the worst people to talk about subjects that they have no business doing so.

That is strange - what kind of economic analysis can be afforded by someone without any formal knowledge of how it works.

Might as well put someone from VJ on there.

Great idea. My vote is for Mox. His succinct summaries on life and BS artists are stunning.

Chadderdon is skeptical that her Fox hits do much to advance the progressive cause. But she says they’re good for business.

That tells it all.

If you read the article with an open mind (and don't cherry pick comments that are pro Fox News or anti Fox News) it's a mixed bag. Basically what I got out of it is that Democrats who do go on Fox News are criticized more than say a right leaning pundit, but things are as bad if not worse at MSNBC & other networks.

Link works for me... sounds like user headspace & timing.
