Newt Gingrich: Fox News 'Has Been For Romney All The Way Through,' CNN 'Less Biased'

Newt Gingrich tore into Fox News on Wednesday during a meeting with Tea Party leaders in Delaware, saying that his former network home has been deeply biased against him.

"I think Fox has been for Romney all the way through," Gingrich said, according to Real Clear Politics. "In our experience, Callista and I both believe CNN is less biased than Fox this year. We are more likely to get neutral coverage out of CNN than we are of Fox, and we're more likely to get distortion out of Fox. That's just a fact."

Gingrich's comments echo those of Rick Santorum, another former Fox News contributor. Both were dropped by the network when they began their presidential bids, and both have accused Fox News of favoring frontrunner Romney over them. Santorum even said it directly to Fox News host Brian Kilmeade.

"He has Fox News shilling for him every day -- no offense, Brian, but I see it," he told Kilmeade.

What is all the more remarkable is that, for a long time, Romney had near-poisonous relations with Fox News.

In his remarks, Gingrich said that he thinks Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch made the call to favor Romney. "I assume it's because Murdoch at some point said, 'I want Romney,' and so 'fair and balanced' became 'Romney,'" he said. "And there's no question that Fox had a lot to do with stopping my campaign because such a high percentage of our base watches Fox."

You mean even with the right they're not 'fair and balanced'?

As much as I hate Newt, I gotta give him some credit for being one of the only people in the GOP to call out Fox on their bias bullshit. Course this isn't because he believes in media equality, it's only because he's sinking fast and the hacks over at Fox won't bail him out since they all have their heads up Romney's ass. It can be quite entertaining to watch the right wing fight itself.

Bitter loser

This thread sucks. Why should we expect anything less from HS?

It's the same thing they do to Ron Paul every election.

which is really a shame since Ron Paul is the only guy worth listening to in that GOP field.

Bias is one thing and Fox this time has been Pro Romney all along. they pick who they want early on and in 2008 one of the main reasons McCain an Huckabee were able to last as long as they did was becuase Fox was so pro Guliani before he imploded that they spent all ther time helping slam romney int the ground leaving the tailenders of the field alone.

But is he really claiming to be upset because a news station let them go as commentators when they decided to run for President or is that just extra info the author tossed in there?

newt, once again proving that its a myth all fat people are jolly
