Isn’t it interesting that Newt was a regular commentator on Fox and well respected by them until he ran for president and now he is talked bout like a dog? He must be shocked at their viciousness.
He said he was shocked in a NY Times interview back around January. That was in reference to how they all piled on him and tried to cut him off at the knees after his comments about Paul Ryan's plan last year. I remember being shocked myself hearing the meme all over FOX and conservative radio that "Newt was done" after that. I didn't understand it and they sure seemed to be overreacting.
I don't think Newt got it either. He chalked it up to professional jealousy then, but last month seemed to realize it was just that FOX decided to back Romney early on. I think we don't know the half of the depths of the conspiracy between the Romney campaign, the RNC and "conservative" media like FOX, National Review, The Washington Times, Drudge, Coulter, RINO radio (Hewitt, Bennett, Medved...). There is undoubtedly a major story to be told about the promises that were made and the gifts that were exchanged to bring the Romney propaganda campaign to life. The sad fact is that when you can point to the same exact pundits singing Newt's praises a few years ago but suddenly talking about him as if he were Satan's spawn, any sense of trust in what was supposed to be much of "our" media has now been shattered beyond repair. Certainly the list of commentators worth reading or listening to has been dramatically shortened as a result of actions taken during this primary.
