Gingrich Accuses Fox News of Bias

[MindMover]

The fight for the Republican nomination is no longer just candidate versus candidate. It’s candidate versus Fox News.

Newt Gingrich became the latest Republican candidate to lash out at the cable news network, accusing it on Wednesday of dooming his flagging campaign by slanting its political coverage to Mitt Romney‘s benefit.

Mr. Gingrich quickly found that Fox News’s tenacity is a match for his own. The network shot back on Thursday, calling the former House speaker bitter.

The sniping started when Mr. Gingrich, a former Fox News commentator, told a gathering of Tea Party supporters in Delaware that Fox News had distorted its coverage of him. And he accused Rupert Murdoch, chairman of the network’s parent company, News Corporation, of pulling the strings behind the scenes. His comments were reported on Thursday morning by Real Clear Politics, which gained access to the Delaware event.

or just telling the truth?

(Of course when Fox News tells the truth about a fellow Republican it means the order has come down from the top).

5. Newt is the biggest baby

Cries when he's held up to his own so-called standards
Cries when Citizens United (something he supported) allowed the other candidates to raise more money than he did
Cries when a network that he's supported went after others unfairly did the same to him

6. I swear sometimes it seems like Newt's in it ...

... to take down the GOP. The crap he's saying is right out of a DNC playbook, but has more credibility with the wingers because he's "one of them".

Stay in the race, Newt!!!

8. Nah
