Fox News Chris Wallace just trashed Newt for going personal against Ron (video added)

[low preference guy]

Lol maybe Cavuto got to him..

I'm quite confident this is exactly what happened. Cavuto criticized Wallace many times on his show.

Ron Paul leads with 38% of the vote among IA caucus goers that don't regularly watch foxnews. food for thought...

How telling. I wonder how the numbers look for viewers (or non-viewers) the other MSM channels.

I wonder if it ever crosses their mind that if a candidate they thoroughly trash DOES get elected, that when it comes to news conferences and such, they might just be left out in the cold and have to collect news about the administration secondhand?

We need to take down Romney, and then keep our eyes on Santorum. Frothy is a military industrial complex's wet dream.

Maybe the edict has come down from Ted Turner, Bob Iger and Rupert Murdoch.. "Ok guys, we will now coalesce around Romney, NO MORE NEWT!"

Lol yea, i guess David Rockefeller and that wretched witch in England sent out some memos too

"PS--CFR MEETING ON JAN 2nd to discuss Caucus night--Ted will handle refreshments"

Ha you wish. Roger Ailes controls EVERYTHING that is said on Fox News. If Wallace said it, Ailes wanted it said (via the daily internal "talking points memo"). Watch "Outfoxed".

Attacking the voters was the big mistake. Given, they couldnt attack his record, so they needed to attack something I guess but attacking the voters was incredibly stupid.
The public generally doesnt mind watching someone else get attacked, but when they get attacked, they tend to fight back.
All this is doing is turning any soft support to hard support and active campaigners.

Blowbacks a bitch.

He seemed absolutely bewildered that Newt would flip flop on his own statements of becoming more disciplined because he was older now and being able to hold his tongue and watch what pops out of his mouth. Wallace really nailed Newt and said that he was shocked to see Newt go with personal attacks on Ron Paul and his supporters, calling them un-american.
Wallace then went on to say that he felt Newt was now no longer a front runner because of the RCP average and that he was in the same lower level as Bachmann and Perry.

It was really nice to see that segment happen.

"Yes, dammit!! That's my job," shouted Wallace.

LOL Since when is Chris Wallace upset over someone not making nice about Dr. Paul?

Don't fall for this ruse; it is not what it seems.

Maybe they have been getting "Blowback" and lower ratings since they went so negative.

 

[abstrusezincate]

I agree with those who see this just as part of the effort to help Romney.

 

[smithtg]

Yes, his tone was devastating too. Sadly all the attacking of Paul, and now Newt, by the media is probably helping Romney.

the media love that romney is 'in the clear'

i say " not yet!"

I think that is definitely part of it. In our celebrity era, news organizations can be hit very hard if they don't have access to the President. Some of the saner people working on Fox have to realize that a Republican nominee who refused to go on their top-rated show and is still in the lead tends to jeopardize the network's position as kingmakers within the Republican party.

There are also other factors going on, no doubt.

Newt Gingrich?

Either a small amphibian or an irritating rash, we can't decide...

A reptile by any other name is still a reptile.

 

[MrTudo]

Where is the video???

ginrich showed his true self last night. Hopefully millions of Americans saw that and realized that he is a scumbag.

Actually, he's more like a boil on the butt of humanity if you ask me.

Thanks, dude.

What was Wallace on?? Defending Ron??? I still hope Fox will turn Paul, it's unlikely but not quite impossible with Romney as a frontrunner
