Fox News Buries Cruz Iowa Victory with Rubio, Clinton Coverage
February 2, 2016 | Ralph Mitchell

Posted on 02/01/2016 9:50:22 PM PST by mitchell001

Coverage of the Ted Cruz Iowa Victory is being minimized by Fox News with excessive coverage of Rubio and Clinton. This is based on the evidence of those viewing.

The establishment won in Iowa, Cruz stopped Trump and Rubio benefited.

Exactly right!

Gee. I'm confused

Yes you are, Cruz said Trump did not have the "Temperament" nor the "Judgement" to have his "finger on the button". He said that behind closed doors and when questioned about it he denied he said it. However his lie got busted because someone recorded his personal attack on Trump. That was first blood in the Cruz/Trump war.

Rubio did do a lot better than expected. It was a Lazarus-like performance involving a surge from the low teens to the low 20's.

Why not? He's got Karl Rove and every turd-blossoming "consultant" in the e-GOP working for him on the sly...... Think all that faaaaabulous talent can't manage a 10-point bumpette out in Boondockville?

Just think of all the vig, the mojo, the inevitability they can begin to generate now with their e-GOP MSM bullsqueeze generators.

It'll be a bull market in Rubio Astroturf excitement and shizzle-sizzle .... at least until South Carolina.

Yep, we got to hear every single word of third place Rubio speech and they cut off Cruz - who won (Thank you Iowa!). FOX is really ticking me off.

I couldn’t even pay attention to Rubio’s speech. His annoying arch cadence, sappy emotionalism and jibber-jabbering makes me tune out during a 1 minute debate answer let alone a speech.
*******************************
That exactly describes my reaction to Rubio’s speaking!

Rubio in his speech sounded like a high school student on prom night,what a lightweight,the speech was repetitive,and banal,the best he could do I guess without a teleprompter.
The Fox news people had to vent their frustration for failing to get their Bush backup in.
If anyone surpased expectetions it was TED,the turnout was historic supposedly going to benefit Trump,Trump was ahead by 5 in the polls,Cruz was against Ethanol,he was mean,not a citizen,the popular Governor said anyone but CRUZ!
All he did was get more votes than any candidate in caucus history,and all they did on Fox is talk about diaper boy,Bush backup,establishment Rubio who finished right where the polls said he would

In their defense, Cruz’s speech went on forever.

Yeah, Senator Cruz was just trying to get some of that free air time that Trump is so used to getting from Faux news.

If it is not from a fake dust up with the owners and then kissing and making up, it is coming on all of the shows talking about his suit, ohh and then mentioning his campaign for 15 minutes.

Yeah those free ads on Faux News are sweeeeet but they do not add up to a well oiled ground game and real Conservatives supporting you

Yep. The other big news was that Hillary Clinton lost (in reality) to a frumpy old man who is a socialist.

Democrats are running an un-indicted criminal.

Very fitting for a communist party.

He has always had that slack jawed goofy grin. It just looks more ridiculous on a 70 year old man than a 50 year old man.

My goodness...

One day after all of this blows over I hope you go back and read this post you just made.

Who sits for that crap, under any circumstances, when you have CNN and MNBC giving TRUMP fair coverage

Do you see what you are doing? Do you see who you have to get in bed with to justify your obsession with Trump? Would it be prudent to judge CNN and MSNBC by their past behavior and suspect that they have ulterior motives? Is is it possible that CNN and MSNBC know that Trump could never defeat their favorite Democrat nominee? Is it possible that CNN and MSNBC recognize Trump as a leftist and are angling for a Leftist vs. Leftist general election?

Or do you think the most likely scenario is simply that CNN and MSNBC have the highest journalistic integrity in the media?

Look what you have sunk to....
