Democrats withdraw from primary

Dealing with the topic of five democrats withdrawing from the Michigan primary, I compared the articles between FOX News and CNN. I expected to find FOX News criticizing the democrats, since FOX News is know for their right wing perspectives. The reason why the democrats withdrew from the primary is based on the fact that the date of the Michigan primary is before the date of February 5. Only Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina are aloud to have primaries before February 5. Having a primary in Michigan on January 15 would be against the Democratic National Committee’s Rules. The democrats of Michigan moved the date in order to influence the state’s influence on the nominee selection. Although it will aid most of the democrats, many of them despise the idea of having a primary before the official date. The rhetoric between both seemed pretty general. There were no really sides taken on the matter that Democrats dropped out of the primary. The only difference was that FOX realized that since the democrats dropped out, it will lessen the chances of Michigan being democratic state. CNN does give interviews that quote democrats saying that they respect the primary calendar given by the Democratic National Committee, which could be interpreted that the republicans do not care for the rules, and will do anything necessary to get a presidential candidate. The democrats that the withdrew felt that the candidates that were staying in the primary were just trying elevate their specific states status in the election process.
