On his radio show yesterday, Mark Levin criticized his “friends from Fox News” for secretly supporting Jeb Bush and attacking real conservative candidates like Ted Cruz:
"As you all know I’m a huge fan of the Fox News channel. Particularly certain hosts. But I have to wonder: if Ronald Reagan was running in 1976 starting in ’75 against Gerald Ford, how most of the people at Fox would treat him. Because to my great dismay – as I was preparing for the program, I had my favorite cable network on – and a number of the people were trashing Ted Cruz. Not enough experience, he’s too young, too conservative, needs a bigger tent, he’s down in the polls… These people are neophytes. Neophytes. They’ve never fought in Republican primaries for conservative candidates. They don’t even take the time to learn the history of this country or the Republican Party. And I am convinced that if Reagan were alive today and Gerald Ford were live today, and we were doing a rerun of 1975-1976, Reagan would be trashed all over our favorite cable channel."
He continued:
"The question isn’t whether Reagan would be supported by conservatives today – he most assuredly would – the question is whether he’d be supported by several people on our favorite cable channel. And the answer is no."
Levin added that those people probably support Jeb Bush.
The question is, of course: is he right? Well, he followed his criticism up with these Facebook updates...

In a word? Yes.
As usual, Mark hits the nail on the head. That’s why he is TGO.
Yes, yes they do, as many of us know.
Faux news is not Conservative. Center left at best.
Other than Hannity, maybe Megyn, and maybe O’Reilly, most are Bushies.
Of course, O’Reilly doesn’t like anyone. Sort of like Mikey in the Life cereal ad from 25 years ago.
Fox had better get on board. More conservatives trust talk radio than their commentary. They will have to cover Cruz whether they want to or not. He can handle it.
When Karl Rove is on the payroll, and you see Senators McLame and Senator Linda Graham more than any other so-called Republicans you bet they are in favor of Jeb or some other RINO.
I have not watched FOX for years
I want an All Conservative All the time...oh wait I have it ..I am on Free Republic.

I’ve read that Fox News personalities were instructed not to criticize the illegal alien invasion which no doubt explains Sean Hannity’s “evolution” on the issue after the 2012 election. So of course they would be for Jeb. The uni-party likes a heads I win, tails you lose setup.
Levin is correct and the media would just call Levin an extremist.
If they continue to head THAT way it will make it even easier to give up Direct TV. As of now we are trying to figure out how to get Fox News and Fox Business online. Haven’t gotten a satisfactory solution for now. But I find we watch less and less. As a matter of fact, Fox helps me sleep at night if I am having problems. Great white noise until Jeannine Pirro or Greta come on, and Geraldo. Rude awakening every time!
That bush broad has them all intimidated to be bushies and to slam Cruz. The five was pathetic and now is a total turn off.
BillO is for the party of BillO.
Of course the great one is correct. faux is no longer on my tv after watching the country club at 5 shit all over Cruz.It will be fox business until they piss me off.
Dana Bushbot Perino.
Dadgum...we agree on something.....
Rupert Murdoch of Fox wants Hillary Clinton.
They want scandal to report on.
