Thompson charges Fox News is biased against his campaign

Former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) suggested on Sunday that Fox News is biased against his campaign, charging that the network highlights commentators who have been critical of his run for the presidency.

In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace pressed Thompson on how some conservatives have lambasted Thompson's campaign and showed clips of Fox conservative commentators Charles Krauthammer and Fred Barnes criticizing the former senator.

Thompson said, "This has been a constant mantra of Fox, to tell you the truth." He noted that other conservatives have praised his bid for the GOP nomination and took issue with a Fox promo that focused on polling in New Hampshire, where Thompson is registering in the single digits.

He said he is running second in national polls and has been leading or tied for the lead in South Carolina for "a long, long time."

Thompson, in a firm, but measured tone, scolded Wallace: "...for you to highlight nothing but the negatives in terms of the polls and then put on your own guys who have been predicting for four months, really, that I couldn't do it, kind of skew things a little bit. There's a lot of other opinion out there."

1. Too Funny for Words

You know liberals are making gains when GOP candidates are distancing themselves from Faux News.

4. Fux has been promoting Giuliani as the next coming of Washington

So oddly he probably has a legitimate bitch. Still this is fucking hilarious. Droopy, old fellow, get waaaaaay in the back behind all those democrats and your bitch will be heard in order of importance.

5. There was a great political cartoon

Showed an almost cardboard cut-out-like image of Thompson and two people saying (paraphrasing here) "He hasn't had much to say since the writers strike began."

I had to laugh. It's true, he has been rather quiet.

6. Whaaa? But FOX is so fair. And balanced.
