NY Times Bombshell Scoop: Fox News Colluded with Rubio to Give Amnesty to Illegal Aliens
Breitbart News ^ | Feb 27 2016 | Breitbart News

Posted on 02/27/2016 10:16:35 PM PST by MichelleWSC3

A few weeks after Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 79% joined a bipartisan push for an immigration overhaul in 2013, he arrived alongside Senator Chuck Schumer at the executive dining room of News Corporation’s Manhattan headquarters for dinner.

Their mission was to persuade Rupert Murdoch, the owner of the media empire, and Roger Ailes, the chairman and chief executive of its Fox News division, to keep the network’s on-air personalities from savaging the legislation and give it a fighting chance at survival.

Mr. Murdoch, an advocate of immigration reform, and Mr. Ailes, his top lieutenant and the most powerful man in conservative television, agreed at the Jan. 17, 2013, meeting to give the senators some breathing room.

But the media executives, highly attuned to the intensifying anger in the Republican grass roots, warned that the senators also needed to make their case to Rush Limbaugh, the king of conservative talk radio, who held enormous sway with the party’s largely anti-immigrant base.

The dinner at News Corporation headquarters — which has not been previously reported — and the subsequent outreach to Mr. Limbaugh illustrate the degree to which Mr. Rubio served as the chief envoy to the conservative media for the group supporting the legislation. The bill would have provided a pathway to American citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants along with measures to secure the borders and ensure that foreigners left the United States upon the expiration of their visas.

Explains a lot, doesn’t it? Like Rush’s Rube love and fence sitting.

Is anyone really surprised? No. Disgusted? Yes.

Interesting. At first I thought this was in reference to a slip that Vincent Fox made. He revealed the gang of 8 bill was written by him.

Now it gets even more interesting.

FOX News is team Rubio’s media wing. It is 24/7 pro-Rubio and anti-others, especially Cruz.

Interesting. Here is the NYT source link. I had to put on my media spin filters to read it, however it offered a great many more details. Worth the read.

Damn!

Nobody to trust, except Donald Trump and the people supporting him

Breitbart's article links to this NYT article Marco Rubio Pushed for Immigration Reform With Conservative Media which is detailed and revealing!

Shame on all!

I’m not going to throw Rush under the bus on this, but I think this story paints a picture of a man very eager to play the role of the big shot...

Rubio, or I should say his handlers, have been playing everyone like damn fiddles for too long. It’s time people wise up and realize what we’re dealing with here: A snake.

Ruport how much is your stock worth in News Corp?

About 75% less Monday after you already lost 50% of GOP Voters

Cruz and Trump may have their differences but the same people hate them.

Cruz started getting cozy with Marco lately... He needs to realize that once Trump’s out that knife is aiming for his back next.

I believe Trump will attack Rupert Murdoch at the next FOX debate.

Can’t wait to see the moderators go into shock.

Thanks for pinging others and bringing it the attention it deserves. The NYT source article adds a lot of details despite the leftist spin.
