DOVER, Del. -- During a meeting with 18 Delaware Tea Party leaders here on Wednesday, Newt Gingrich lambasted The Fox News Channel, accusing the cable news network that employed him as recently as last year of having been in the tank for Mitt Romney from the beginning of the Republican presidential fight and singling out former colleagues for attacking him out of what he characterized as personal jealousy.

"I think Fox has been for Romney all the way through," Gingrich said...

Primary on the 24th here in PA and the Romney adds have already begun. All the GOPe are in the tank for Mitt, Newt. I’m not!

[ReneeLynn]

‘ads’.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Painfully obvious since the start.

Does this mean that Newt will turn down a paycheck from FNC when this is over?

He was on their payroll up until about March last year.

Gee Newt, ya think?

Fox, like just about every other media outlet, declared Romney the candidate even before the first primaries and caucuses. This whole primary season was a sham. And it was orchestrated by your own party.

Too bad you didn’t see this earlier. Maybe then we conservatives could have broken away from the Republican party, you could have run ad a third party candidate and we the voters might have had a real choice. So now we are stuck with Romney, and Obama will win another four years...or longer if he becomes dictator.

[Psalm 144]

“Painfully obvious since the start.”

Since the ‘08 primary.

Goodness-a lot of us have been saying this very thing for months. Who truthfully cannot see that Fox News is going way overboard for Mitt Romney. They are so out in the open here lately in their bias, I can’t even find the patience to sit through any of their shows here lately (excluding Greta) It was like when Santos said this of Drudge (it was like yeah-I can see that-in your face for Mitt) We have such huge issues to deal with and by not having a reputable news service and fair journalism makes for a blockade for truth and reforms to prevail. Charles K and Hume are very unprofessional. Newt is the grown up; they do not want to be corrected by him. They decided Newt had to be stopped. Many of us see them for what they are. Newt is the smart one. God Bless him since most in the media are out to get the conservative.

Are the Romney ads against Newt? Because I thought romney didn't even consider Gingrich a serious presence in PA. Can you describe them?

He was on their payroll up until about March last year.

So was (or is) Sarah Palin. What do you want that we force all the conservatives to refuse the very microphone which is a tool to echo our stances?

[MacMattico]

And he also said on Greta he would support Romney and Romney was 100% better then Obama. We better ban all talk of Newt.

[tsowellfan]

We better ban all talk of Newt

What the heck. We still have "conservative" Joe Scarborough on MSNBC

LOL

Is there a point you’re trying to make or are you just trying to be snarky as usual?

BUMP

Hume has been hostile. Hume has issues.

HA-HA, great example.

I'd much rather have Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich getting a paycheck from Fox News and carrying the microphone for us on Fox then to have to turn to MSNBC and listen to a fake "conservative" Joe Scarborough.

I'm all for as many conservatives possible going on all the networks. Only problem is... only Fox allows it.

[MacMattico]

Almost forgot about Joe “dead intern” Scarborough!

I am sure FNC would be happy to interview Newt for free,
But bitching about how they are screwing you after getting paid to be a commentator and then going back to it, if that is what he does, seems pretty lame.
