It's definitely more than that. Many on the left are constantly wondering why our luminaries keep going on Fox in good faith and then get surprised to find the conversation isn't on the up and up. Few institutions have been as destructive to political discourse in America as Fox news and a big part of that is the impulse by politicians to legitimatize them as journalists and default to norms where they should probably leave them alone. Let their copy writers spin the narrative they were going to spin anyway.


everything you just said makes me feel even more strongly that what I think is the case is the case, to be honest with you

I think you'd have a stronger critical angle here attacking the cult of ideological purity as it manifests within the left and point to the clear success of the Sanders showing as evidence that there may be actual common ground that Dems can use to gain unlikely voters from Fox viewers. Implying that Warren in particular is purely playing for greater visibility kind of just handwaves Warren's reputation and approach to this race as the 'policy expert' candidate.

But Warren's been dealing with this from jump with people dismissing every headline she's made as a attention seeking political theatre. Your assessment is consistent with that. But then you have me wondering how many of us would bring the same skepticism to Sanders, or Booker, or current frontrunner Biden.
