It appears Dems have given in and are now actively encouraging and training their members to go on Fox News:

This had to hurt to write:
An invitation sent to lawmakers and obtained by CNN advertises a session titled “Winning on Fox News: Best practices,” featuring communications strategists John Neffinger and Jess McIntosh, who’s also a CNN contributor. The invitation says the training will demonstrate “how to effectively engage anchors, answer tough questions, and develop your own formula for success.”
Michael LaRosa, communications director at the DPCC, said it would be a missed opportunity for Democrats not to speak to the channel’s large audience.
