No longer will Fox be trying to promote Marco. It looks like they have given up on the boy wonder. Speaking of wonder...who will the Republican National TV Network promote in his stead? Kasich?

...this alliance now seems to be over. According to three Fox sources, Fox chief Roger Ailes has told people he's lost confidence in Rubio's ability to win. "We're finished with Rubio," Ailes recently told a Fox host. "We can't do the Rubio thing anymore."

Ailes is now back to searching for a candidate the channel can rally behind. "He's thinking, What do we do about the whole damn thing?" one of the news executive's friends said.

Wow! They don't even try to hide the fact that they are the propaganda network anymore. :shock:

Fox viewers are such suckers.
 
This almost reads like a tabloid, we sure any of this is even remotely accurate?

Fox is tabloid fodder...it most certainly is not a news channel.
 
Rubio is definitely on his way down and probably eventually out. We will see if the GOP can bail him out. I originally thought he was unfairly beat up by Christie, but now realize that Christie exposed him more than Rubio thinks he is exposing Trump. He has memorized some new lines now, and is a much better stand up comedian than Senator. I think he is making a fool of himself. I feel bad for his wife and children.

It will be interesting to see what he does at the debate tonight. Maybe he has realized that the con-man phrase is hurting him badly.

The Rubio clip attacking trump that I heard this morning was poking fun at Donald for having a casino go bankrupt. "Who bankrupts a casino?" I have to admit, that was funny.

What exactly is the "Rubio thing" Fox was doing?
 
This has been, without a doubt, the most entertaining election season I've ever seen (not that I've just seen so many). I heard Mark Levin bashing Fox last night and I've heard Glenn Beck criticizing other talk show hosts by name for not endorsing a candidate. I guess I'm supposed to be worried about a "fractured" Republican party but I'm honestly not. I think it's good it's being shaken up and the old understanding of the way things have to be done is being challenged. I'm not a Trump supporter at all, but his campaign has been valuable just for that.
 
wondered the same thing. It seemed to me Fox was giving Jeb every chance to knock him down a peg.

The random times I watched Fox, and that was mostly on election and primary days, they weren't pushing Rubio in any way shape or form. The only one I see who is a Rubio fan is Steve Hayes from the Weekly Standard who is a guest pundit, mostly on Bret Baier's show. The rest of them? Hell no.

I call BS on the link in the OP.
 
It's the closest thing there is to one these days. Which is sad.

I haven't watched TV news in over ten years, but I still remember when CNN actually tried to broadcast it. Of course, they could not keep up in the ratings war by just talking about bland crap and telling us what really happened. Fox by focusing on outrageous propaganda and pushing the infotainment, talking heads totally destroyed real news. Now everyone tries to be like them. It's ridiculous.

Where did I say "Rubio thing"? Maybe try rephrasing your question to include something I actually said. M'Kay?

I watch Fox all the time and I haven't sensed a preference for Rubio among the talking heads. I haven't sensed bringing more Rubio supporters as guests above others either. I think the OP is nonsense created by people who don't like Fox.

I hardly ever watch any of them for news, the internet has really made it much to easy to get news on demand. Now, the opinion shows, that's where the fun is. I'll put on Fox once in awhile to hear some debates. About once a year I'll put on Rachel Maddow, just to confirm how far from reality she and MSNBC are, and she never disappoints.

Only if you call conservative blogs "people who do not like Fox."

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.

...he has been "appalled at the blatant bias in favor of Rubio" demonstrated by the network in recent months.

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.

Dick Morris: Rubio, Fox News Big Losers From New Hampshire

The denial of the Fox News crowd sure is a wonder to behold. How on earth do you guys manage to bury your heads so deep in the sand?

They're the #1 cable news channel by far. If they aren't a news channel then no one is.

BTW: Rubio cancelled two big rallies scheduled for later this week. He could be done.

I view all blogs as nonsense. They have no standing for quoting them as proof of anything.

I'll give ya this---Megyn Kelly is a hell of a lot softer on the eyes.

Sigh, it's sad so many people , to score cool points with the hapless wit crowd, cannot or will not differentiate the opinion based Fox shows from the News portion.

yeah yeah...nothing means anything in Fox Newsville unless O'Reilly says it.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know that.

Do they even bother with actual news anymore?
