GOP frontrunner Donald Trump slammed Fox News and the broader Rupert Murdoch empire for its open adoration of donor-class favorite Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% . As Breitbart News has previously reported, Rubio has been Congress’s biggest champion of Rupert Murdoch’s open borders advocacy efforts. Trump explained that Fox News has “protected†Rubio — constantly buoying his campaign, even as he has continued to perform dismally.
“They’re in love with Rubio. Why? I have no idea, but they’re in love with Rubio,†Trump declared on Thursday’s program of Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM Patriot 125.
“They are in love with Rubio and it’s amazing to me,†Trump said.
Perhaps further delineating the chasm between the media’s portrayal of Rubio and his actual performance, Trump has previously described Rubio as “a choke artist… And we can’t have that as a president can we?†Trump explained that, under pressure from Chris Christie, Rubio could not stop sweating during his televised debate meltdown. “I was standing next to Rubio and I thought he just got out of a swimming pool†Trump said.
Yet Trump pointed out that Fox has gone to great lengths to “protect†Rubio. “After he [Rubio] cratered in the debate, they protected him,†Trump said.

Rubio is NOT a natural born citizen any more than Cruz. BOTH are illegally trying to become the president according to the Constitution.
And all his life, Cruz’s father has referred to Teddy, as the “King”, referencing his being the “Seventh King”, soldier of God, “face of God” to America. You know, lunatic fringe, cult lunacy.
Trump and Fox are obsessed with eachother. They should get married already.

I think Donald is actually sweet on Megyn.
Trump is correct on this...I say to my wife every evening before Special Report starts, “will the first anti-Cruz slam come as the first or second story tonight?’
It’s like clockwork now! Every show has a either a Rubio puff piece or Rubio is quoted in a positive fashion during a Cruz hit or a Trump controversy. Dr. Kraut and Steven Hayes are clearly pro-Rubio in their analyses.
They hit Trump as well as Cruz, but IMHO, it is not as overt as their direct hits on Cruz and their fawning praise for Rubio. Fox has given the vast majority of coverage across all of their shows to candidate Trump, despite the Megyn Kelly kerfuffle. In the end, ratings trump equal time for the candidates.
I agree.
Not quite. FNC/GOPe(same thing) have been serving up a side of Kasich too.
They are pro-Amnesty. That’s why the like Marco “Gang of 8” Rubio and Ted “500% H1-B” Cruz.
OH YEAH??? KNOW YOU ARE, BUT WHAT AM I ???
Nana Nana boo-boo...
Waaaah... I’m telling!!!
No I vote for Cruz to stop the GOPe, but this article is pretty accurate, and It’s good that Trump is calling out the MSM including Fox.
HaHa! Let the truthing of Rubio begin!
FNC has been all in for the Rube since they accepted the fact that Little Jebbie didn’t have a chance in hell of winning. I either mute of turn channels when the Rube Ra-Ra brigade starts up if I happen to be on FNC, which is less and less.
It certainly is not to praise him.
Not buying it. Gilmore is the guy who got screwed.
No doubt. They went into full spin after Iowa. It’s immigration. Rubio and Ted have pretty similar conservative records other than that issue.
Rupert Murdoch is a pretty powerful guy.
Rupert Murdoch, Austrailian carpetbagger, was the one pushing the Iraq war in 2003.
“Most revealing of all was Murdoch’s reference to the rationale for going to war, blatantly using the o-word. Politicians in the United States and Britain have strenuously denied the significance of oil, but Murdoch wasn’t so reticent. He believes that deposing the Iraqi leader would lead to cheaper oil. “The greatest thing to come out of this for the world economy...would be $20 a barrel for oil. That’s bigger than any tax cut in any country.”
He went even further down this road in an interview the week before with America’s Fortune magazine by forecasting a postwar economic boom. “Once it [Iraq] is behind us, the whole world will benefit from cheaper oil which will be a bigger stimulus than anything else.”

Murdoch and Trump...the fighting continues....
Maybe but we know Rubio will and Cruz just cannot win a general election.
That's pretty obvious.
Fox is in the tank for the "establishment" candidate which happens to be "Marco the Rube."
Fox is, and has been controlled by Murdoch's two sons since June of 2015.
Both are LIBERAL minded which explains WHY Fox is no longer "fair & balanced", if they ever were.
Neither Trump or Cruz will EVER be supported by Fox.
Nonsense.
Oh really?
I’m flattered that you think that we Trump idiots would line up behind Cruz when it’s obvious that we’re so easily bamboozled.
