LOL, once again Newt GETS IT. He’s right...Fox is Romney central. Yesterday while they were waiting for Santorum to come out and speak, all they could talk about was Willard.
FOX did their attacks on Newt after SC then once they thought they had taken him out they have ignored him, never mentioning him hardly and FOX thinks they are going to be rewarded with our viewership and the establishment thinks we should just forget how they treated Cain, Michelle, Newt and all because they have been pushing Romney for the get go.
Hell all they care about over at FOX is their own wallets and power and to hell with everything else.
So long as their market and 401k’s go up then all is fine they think.
I think it is more that Fox is Republican "establishment" central. Fox News is basically the home of GOP conventional wisdom. There are a lot of center right personalities (when compared to the other networks), but very few are actually conservative. If I didn't know better I'd have thought Brit Hume was officially on Romney's payroll.
To be fair to Fox though, it did seem like Newt was on either Hannity or Greta almost constantly. The line up on those 2 shows seems to be Newt, Dick Morris and Karl Rove almost every night. Gingrich did at least have a chance to get his message out and it was Romney's negative ad blitz in Florida that damaged him far more than anything Fox News did.
FOX stopped even saying Newt’s name for a long time. Like he wasn’t a candidate at all. Made me so mad. Then of course, there was Britt Hume’s total meltdown about Newt. I stopped watching FOX and Hume then and have barely had it on since. Sick of hearing how great Mitt is with zero mention of Newt.
