Fox News Tilts Away from Rick Perry
9/23/2011 | Ralph Mitchell

Posted on 09/23/2011 10:30:29 AM PDT by mitchell001

Last night's Fox News debate choice of questions, Hannity's lack of Rick Perry post debate interview, and Hannity's strained Rick Perry interview Wednesday night show that Fox News has an anti-Perry tilt.

Was the lack of a Hannity Perry interview due to a choice by Perry or Fox or both?

No it doesn’t.

Weren’t people just claiming Fox News has an anti-Palin stance? Even though she works for.........Fox News.

I am sure Hannity would have liked to have Rick Perry as a guest last night, apparently Perry either wasn’t interested or didn’t tell Sean either way.

Fact is, Perry had a horrible debate last night and he deserves much of the criticism he is getting. That doesn’t mean Fox News is suddenly against him. It just means he is being vetted properly.

Perry has not impressed me at all.

But if you look at the bright side (if your behind him 100%), the media bias will get him prepared for what will come. If he can’t handle the Fox bias now, what will he do with the other networks.

Rick Perry over the last two debates has pretty much called Americans like me “Heartless Racists.”

Maybe he should try MSDNC?

Duh, how do you know he did not turn down a post debate appearance. I mean he did not need to drive anymore nails in the casket.

They did him a favor he soiled himself with the Conservatives have not heart comment so it was best he just go home. It gave Obama an ad that will run over and over and over next year. Remember the Dems are all about good intentions not necessarily results. Perry going forward is going to be messy now.

I think there’s only one solution left to this GOP mess.

Sarah.

I don't think I'm alone here.....what I've been seeing on Fox (up until yesterday) is a rather friendly bias towards Perry, a somewhat favorable bias towards Romney, and a negative bias towards Palin.

Have things changed today?

So does Bob Beckel...the dimwit socialist I would most like to meet drunk in a bar somewhere. What’s the point?

I think Fox news has gotten wrapped up around their own self-perceived importance. O’Reilly has been this way for years. Anywho, I think the so-called “conservatives” at Fox see themselves as kingmakers and “We Report - You Decide” was thrown out long ago. In some respects, they have gotten as bad as the other networks.

Fox’s biggest problem is their Turd Blossum tilt.

Perry has made himself less relevant with back-to-back poor performances.

FOX has been pimping for Romney and Christie for some time. They have subtly trashed the conservatives. Guess Ailes is behind it.

By the way, I HATE Expedia’s “Major WOW Factor” flaming gay commercial. Its NOT funny.

I thought Perry did pretty good with Hannity on Wednesday night. Its not FNC’s fault that Perry stumbled his way through last nights debate.

Why Perry wasn't on the post debate show probably had to do with a scheduling conflict, or the Governor was licking his wounds.

Seems they were actually bending over backwards this morning covering for his gross performance last night.
