In other words, it’s not that Fred didn’t win. The media stole victory from him.

You're joking, right? If Fred had been capable of presenting himself in a manner which was attractive to the MSM, he would have had plenty of coverage. Huckabee garnered attention with his smooth-talking, folksy style, his penchant for sound bytes, and his showing in Iowa. To the media, Fred looked old, tired, and was a boring candidate.

A candidate has to be able to dance to the music being played. While Fred might gain respect from some when he'd say that he doesn't like the music and won't dance, the media will look elsewhere for a more exciting candidate.

It’s not a matter of capability. It has to do with whether or not he wanted to be complicit in the fraudulent system of the media.

I don’t care about what the media wants. When somebody like Fred comes along and treats the media like they deserve, I say it’s about time.

Fred can still do this without catering to the media. And when he succeeds, it will be a death blow to their asinine ways.

Think about what your saying. A candidate has to meet MSM acceptance and criteria before they can accept fair coverage?

Can you name one Conservative who has received fair coverage in the past 20 years? I could probably name several hundred that haven’t.

That’s why Fox News had gained such popularity...until turning way left recently.
