Edwards says no to Fox debate-again

John Edwards will not participate in a Fox-televised presidential debate sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus. From TPM Election Central:
John Edwards -- who was first out of the box to pull out of the Fox-sponsored Nevada debate, earning accolades from the netroots and Dem activists -- has done it again.

His campaign has just called the Congressional Black Caucus and informed them that Edwards will not be part of the proposed Sept. 23 debate with Fox.
Edwards clearly gets this.

There shouldn't be any debates involving Fox Noise. They can have a pool feed if they want, but none of their employees should get to grandstand and distort things. It's not about answering questions from real reporters, it's about not being an active participant in your own abuse. This isn't complicated.
