James Comey has been on pretty much every show, hawking his book and spilling the beans...will he go on FOX?

I think he might if he knew they would conduct a civil, fair and impartial interview void of smear, innuendo, and right wing fallacy. Which, we all know, they can't.

So, I'm guessing not.

Wouldn't it be great: a Hannity-Comey cage match?
 
I'm not sure Fox would have the guts to have him on. He might destroy their narrative ...

I think Comey is making a mistake, because he's trying to push his book, that I don't think will end up doing well.

if Fox News wants to care about journalistic integrity by showing both sides, like they claim, they should invite him. He is after all, a Republican.

Not if they kept interrupting him. Talking over him. Asking him accusatory questions. Having him on is not the same as letting him speak.

Their audience goes for that kinda stuff. (And probably believe WWF is real. LOL!)

Well the Fox part is good to know, and I'm looking forward to it. I want to see how he holds-up in a hostile interview.

But how do you know the OP already knew this? None of us did.

Actually, Fox is a conglomeration of different shows so you can't really generaize the entire network as being the same. For instance, Hannity is a partisan rag as is Ingram and some others such as Tucker Carlson. Shepard Smith pretty much criticizes Trump and the Republicans on a regular basis. Chris Wallace is actually a registered Democrat and his Sunday show truly is fair and balanced.

Accurate synopsis and actually fair and balanced....unlike Fox and Friends or Morning Joe.

Point taken. Our local channel 6 is "FOX" and our local broadcasts are very fair and balanced. Shepherd Smith and Chris Wallace are FOX's saving grace as they are the token "real journalists," that allows FOXNews to place the word "news" in their brand. But the damage done by their more extreme, aforementioned, (among a few others) whacko hacktard pundits greatly outweighs any positive credibility Smith and Wallace might bring to the table.

There is a complete difference of the FOX network and the Fox News Network, other than they both have the letters F O X in them. They are not the same animal. I actually watch Chris Wallace every Sunday on my local FOX network instead of watching the show on the FOX News network. I don't watch anything on Fox News. Since Trump was elected they have become the Trump News Network just as CNN is the Clinton News (anti-Trump) Network.

Yeah, true dat.

in all fairness, as a matter of dicipline and in the spirit of open-mindedness, I force myself to watch FOXNews when I find myself flipping channels just to see if I am missing a plausible point of view but I am miserably disappointed 9.9 times out of 10 for the very reason(s) you mentioned. I didn't watch The Apprentice and I don't want to watch Trump TV.

I can say the same thing of the left, particularly CNN. I give them chance after chance after chance after chance. After hearing nothing but anti-Trump news for ten straight minutes every single time I make the mistake of tuning in, I tune out. Their bias is overwhelming. They wouldn't say anything good about Trump even if he quit drinking diet cokes.

You know, I can totally see what your saying, however, I see it a little differently.

Granted, CNN's 24/7 Trump TV is redundantly tiring. But I don't think they do it because they have an axe to grind. I think they do it mainly because Trump TV makes for good ratings and generates revenue. Also, it's because that is what CNN is historically known for. Redundant reporting. Do you remember when the Malaysia jet went down? CNN was on that, 24/7, weeks on end. With barely nothing new to report, and endless footage of seas that all look alike, CNN just would not let it go. Michael Jackson. And the list goes on. But, unlike the airline tragedy, Trump provides them with an endless feed to dissect, analyze and report. They report it. Rinse and repeat. I submit that had HRC won, and they had some dirt on her, they would latch on to that no differently than they have latched on Trump. And, certainly, they would, yet again, become redundantly boring because that's what they do.

CNN is no FOXNews. Apples and oranges.

Maybe. I'm not going to say you're wrong. But, I'm not going to say you're right either. You made some points worth considering. I'm not going to deny that Trump provides the other side with plenty of bullets. But, an unbiased fair and balanced media would shoot at both sides equally.
 
Comey has basically destroyed himself on the talking head tours. The more he talks the more he show he was not fit to hold the office.
