As Twitchy told you, single-digit-polling POTUS hopeful Elizabeth Warren has rejected Fox News’ invitation to hold a town hall on their network, citing their “hate-for-profit” business model.
Weird. Elizabeth Warren is trying to put Fox News out of business and nobody in the MSM is calling her out as anti-press https://t.co/seujazdZn4

How does CNN hall monitor and resident Fox News expert Brian Stelter feel about this brazen attack on a media outlet?
Here's the split: Dems who go on Fox focus on WHO's watching. "Big audience, not all rock-solid Republicans." Dems who reject Fox focus on WHAT they're watching. The content. In Warren's words, it's "hate-for-profit" that's "designed to turn us against each other."

For a brave, firefighting Guardian of Truth, Brian sure seems pretty nonchalant about all this.
As a staunch supporter of the First Amendment and the freedom of the press, you will without a doubt be condemning these comments which are a threat to our democracy, correct? pic.twitter.com/GXezoM4rVB

Good to see you condemning this shameful attack on the media. Oh wait…
— BillHobson (@BillHobson1) May 14, 2019
Is this not a direct attack on our republic democracy? Are journalists’ very lives not at stake?
Hey @brianstelter why isn't this an attack on the media? "hate for profit" seems a bit incendiary.

This anti media rhetoric is dangerous

I guess politicians attacking the media as fake or conspiracy theorists isnt that alarming any more

What’s the difference between this [Warren’s response] and the “enemy of the people” rhetoric coming from Trump.
She’s basically saying that Fox is “the true enemy of the people”. ?— Léo✌? (@LeoKomando) May 14, 2019
Some attacks on the media are better than others. https://t.co/dWUk2IrUwE

Odd we're not hearing how her words could put journalists lives in danger as attacks on press freedoms are on the rise. Even stranger we're not hearing that from you @brianstelter or @oliverdarcy
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) May 14, 2019
A complete thread on doing nothing but attacking our sacred notion of a free press…. i hope @brianstelter or @oliverdarcy are on this… i am literally shaking… this is a sitting senator…. and a journalist in Saudi Arabia was murdered. This is sick https://t.co/LsDCRzkrhF

I’m sure you will pan the decision and her words in order to protect freedom of the press. Or you will be the usual hypocrite you always are. One or the other.

We’re putting our money on him being a hypocrite.
Meanwhile:
Fox News should release a statement saying “We will not be intimidated out of our journalistic mission with dangerous rhetoric by people in power like Ms. Warren & especially during a time when press freedoms are in danger. It’s a dangerous time to tell the truth in America.”
