From NewsMax:
Sen. Barack Obama will not participate in a Democratic presidential debate this fall co-hosted by Fox News Channel, making him the second candidate to snub the cable network.
An Obama aide said the Illinois senator had no plans to attend the Sept. 23 debate in Detroit that Fox agreed to co-sponsor with the Congressional Black Caucus Political Education and Leadership Institute.
Obama will take part in a different debate hosted by the institute and CNN in January.
"CNN seemed like a more appropriate host," Obama spokesman Bill Burton said.
Obama's decision comes three days after former Sen. John Edwards, another Democratic presidential candidate, announced he was pulling out of the Fox-sponsored debate.
Democrats apparently can't handle publicity when it isn't marketed and managed on a liberal network like CNN.
