Dick Morris: Rubio, Fox News Big Losers From New Hampshire
With conservative blogs calling Fox News “the unofficial super PAC of Marco Rubio,” the network may join the Florida senator as one of the big losers Tuesday night.
Trump – who had been battling the network over its biased coverage – not only triumphed, but Fox’s favored candidate came in a disappointing fifth place.
“I am shocked at Fox News,” political strategist Dick Morris told Newsmax TV Tuesday night. . . .
It seems like “almost every second they are hyping him, promoting him,” Morris said.
Fox has come under sharp criticism for its after-debate spin discussions, especially its focus groups that have had seemingly ordinary voters strongly favor Rubio. . . .
Breitbart said neither Fox nor Luntz disclosed the pollster’s close ties with Rubio.
According to the conservative online news service, Rubio had paid Luntz more than $250,000 for political work completed in Florida.
Morris said Fox has been frequently giving positive air time to Rubio after reporting on Trump, to the detriment of other candidates.
He said Fox has been downplaying Rubio’s lack of experience and his problematic support for the Gang of Eight amnesty bill, which Morris said was the freshman Florida senator’s “singular accomplishment.”
