FOX WHINES: 'Liberal Media Tearing Down GOP Candidates By Reporting On Their Marital Problems!

Fox Panel Accuses 'Liberal' Media of 'Tearing Down' GOP Presidential Candidates by Reporting on Their Marital Problems

This week on Fox News Watch, Fox's excuse for a supposed media watchdog show, the host Jon Scott and a couple of the panelists, Jim Pinkerton and Cal Thomas all claimed that that mythical "liberal media" was just hell bent on tearing down potential Republican presidential candidates because they aren't treating Newt Gingrich as a serious candidate due to his personal baggage. A claim that even Judith Miller found ridiculous.

And what other proof did syndicated columnist Cal Thomas offer here that the media is biased against all of the Republican candidates? The fact that the media has reported on Mitch Daniels' marital problems as well. That's some conspiracy theory you've got going there Cal. The press tells us the truth about how Gingrich has treated his ex-wives and that Daniels' wife left him and came back, and all the media coverage on the Republicans is negative now. Wow. That's quite a stretch there. And the coverage I've seen of Daniels on the matter hasn't exactly been negative. He was portrayed as being a good father and doing the right thing and taking care of his kids in some of the rather glowing segments on Daniels that I've seen so far where this was brought up.

Thomas also trotted out the tired old talking point that if President Obama had received more scrutiny from the media about the Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers, he would never have been elected and that it took the conservative media to bring those things out. Thomas must not have been paying attention to Sean Hannity flogging these whipped up controversies on his show night after night that did get picked up by the rest of the media as well to the point that Obama felt he finally had to put a stop to it when he gave his speech on race in Philadelphia in March of '08.

I guess Thomas also wasn't paying any attention when Sarah Palin was out on the campaign trail accusing then Senator Obama of "paling around with terrorists" week after week.

amazing piece of shit.

was in full swing WHILE he was on Clinton's ass about Monica Lewinsky. That's an important point.

Really shows Newt's character and the depth of his moral convictions.

Newt Gringrich.

Either it's fodder for both or it's a place where nobody should go. You know, irrelevant to politics, the economy, world peace, etc.

:banghead:

When you think even Republicans have to admit they are being hypocritical, they bold-facedly and brazenly go one step further!

being all moral and always spouting off about family values while stomping on morals and families just doesn't look good.

Side note on Newtie's morals. Iowa had a creepy congressman name of Jim Nussle. Nussle was all married and familied up when he went to Washington. Newtie introduced Nussle to a lobbyist while he (Nussle) was still married. Eventually she became Mrs. Nussle#2.
Not to excuse Nussle. Just to show that Newtie is a carrier.

eom

holy enough, Sanctified enough to honor it properly. They say 'gay' and 'Monica' and claim to be the 'defenders of marriage'.
They are dying at the hands of their own hypocrisy and policy.

There is nothing more compelling than success.

It doesn't have to be true, consistent, or ethical.

while still participating in the current one.

Announced on local NYC TV news that he was divorcing Donna Hanover, all the while failing to inform Donna of that!

And Judy was waiting.

I would guess single digits.

And BTW, Cal Thomas is a first class jerk.
