Newt causes a lot of his own problems. Conservatives don’t support issues like Cap & Trade. It is a moneymaker though for those invested in the wheeling and dealing. A lot of the support for the fraud was the money to be gained for individuals.
The media pays very little attention to Newt. The only place he has shown up in the last few years is on FOX or the Nancy couch commercial. I have never seen him mistreated at FOX when he was a contributor.
Sure, no conservative giant ever gets good treatment from the media.
Our conservative giants, Reagan, Gingrich, Palin, Helms, never have a good day with the media.
Even GOP moderates want to keep them from winning.
