Romney leads GOP - no thanks to Fox News.

Wow....

I could have wrote this!
I too am tired of the networks marginalizing Mitt.

Ditto

I don't know if it is an anti-Romney bias or simply an anti-west bias. National news networks only mention the west if it happens in California. We had a major murder trial a few years ago (Muslim man murdered wife, took sons out of the home before setting it ablaze, leaving daughter, a neighbor kid sleeping over, and a baby to die) and there was no national media coverage.
I emailed the Fox shows I watch pointing out the lack of coverage for western state's primaries, and have seen a few mentions in passing, but I guess the big coverage will still go to where the action is close and dirty instead of a landslide for Mitt.

My point of view..

is that Mitt is not an insider. He is smart, inteligent (two different things) and knows how to change things for the better. And does so the old fashion way... with talent and leadership.
As mentioned before he won Nevada without much fanfare and also won Wyoming and no one even mentions the fact. McCain losing Michigan was a greater story than Mitt winning it. And it really irritates me to hear and read the "McCain is electable" argument. I guess some conservatives would rather elect a RINO than have #@*% and vote their conscience.

Now, I can handle Fox for a short time

Fox's biased reporting in favor of McCain over Romney has left a bad taste in my mouth. I actually started watching other stations after watching Fox for over 10 years.

Now I'm trying to watch Morning with Joe (who supported Romney but kept it objective). Sometimes, when Keith Olberman shows up, I'll flip it back to Fox and get that warm feeling like I'm coming home. Then someone will mention "Fair and Balanced" and I'm reminded how unfair and unbalanced their GOP reporting was and I have to flip the channel again.

It's sad, really. The broadcast and print media has been so corrupt for years that Fox was kid of an oasis in a desert of spin. Now it's dried up and it's biased reporting has left us with 3 candidates who share a lot of similarities.

All three (McCain, Obama, Clinton) are senators from a Congress with the lowest approval ratings in history. So their failing at their current job but they all want a promotion? They're all pro-Amnesty which is bad by itself, but it also means that with 12 million illegals staying and tens of millions of their family along the way, all likely Democrats.

The GOP primary this year was more important than people thought. Thanks to Fox, we're about to see this country steer permanently left.

God help us.
