Moreover, there’s more to this story. Rube was not being “presidential” in recent comments about Trump.
BOR didn’t call the Rubio on the carpet for calling Trump being a “Freak Show”.
“Marco Rubio wants no part of Donald Trump’s “freak show,” the Florida senator said in an NPR interview aired Monday.”

O’Reilly wasn’t “Fair and Balanced” was he. No I don’t think so.
Telling Trump how to run his campaign? Maybe Rachel Maddow should invite O'Reilly to her show so she can TELL him how to have a successful TV show. How arrogant does it get?
O'Reilly should have Jeb on his show and tell Jeb what he's doing wrong. But since Jeb is a fellow elite, O'Reilly won't do that.... He won't insult Rubio either - not because Rubio's an elite but because he has 'a great story' - meaning he's a grateful peasant. That's how elites see us.
In short - O'Reilly's become an elite. Same with Brit Hume and most of the rest of FOXNews... They see themselves as 'our betters' - part of the DC drawing room intellectuals - the 'talking class'... They're not pulling the wagon with the rest of us - they're standing to the side musing on better ways the unfortunates could do it better.
It wasn't that way when FOX started... they were journalists - attempting to be fair to both sides. Honorable - working at being trustworthy...in the ditch with the rest of us... It's changed. Hannity and Tucker are the last two on Fox that haven't fallen under the spell...
