Like any spoiled child with an overinflated sense of his own worth, nothing is ever little Newtie's fault.
Newt Blames Fox News
Newt Gingrich, who is still, technically, running for president, blamed Fox News, and Rupert Murdoch in particular, for the failure of his presidential campaign Thursday. "I think Fox has been for Romney all the way through," the former Fox employee said during a private meeting with Tea Party leaders in Delaware. "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 is just a fact."
So, first of all. . .DUH!!!! CNN is less biased than FOX? You just figured that out? CNN, like most media outlets, and to their detriment, worships at the altar of objectivity, while FOX is to bias what Saudi Arabia is to crude oil.
But secondly, FOX has been PRO-Romney? Have you watched FOX since you stopped working there? They were pro-anyone-but-Romney. They were pimping the absurdly unqualified pizza guy, then they were all over the pill-addled secessionist. They even liked the no-birth-control guy with the bad hair. They were puffing guys that weren't even in the race like the Sopranos extra from Jersey and W-without-the-charisma. FOX has never seemed to like Romney. Ask Mitt how much positive energy he's been getting from FOX.
“I assume it’s because Murdoch at some point [who] said, ‘I want Romney,’ and so ‘fair and balanced’ became ‘Romney,’ ” Gingrich 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.”
It's cute how you pretend that "fair & balanced" was ever a real thing. Especially while you're complaining that they haven't been sufficiently pro-Newt.
It's also kinda cute how you think that FOX is the reason you aren't winning. I t couldn't possibly be that voters remember your previous ethics violations, or your serial infidelities. It couldn't be that voters were less than impressed by your moon colony idea. It couldn't be that you were too lazy and/or incompetent to get your name on the ballot in some states, or the fact that you abandoned your campaign to go on a cruise, causing your campaign staff to quit en masse. It couldn't be your delusions of grandeur, describing yourself as a "definer of civilization" and "leader of the civilizing forces." It couldn't be the time that you insisted that anyone who quoted you was lying.
No, no, I'm sure it is FOX's coverage of you that is the real culprit here.
