Newt has already started fighting the media. Santorum is too weak, he will get ground up by the political machine and the media machine, should he ever make it to DC. Gingrich lawyer issues Notice and Demand Regarding Advertisements Concerning Speaker Newt Gingrich "It has recently come to our attention that your station has either been asked to run, or may soon be asked to run, various advertising spots produced by the Mitt Romney aligned SuperPAC “Restore Our Future” or Romney for President, the principal campaign committee of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Included among the Romney advertisements submitted to your station for broadcast are likely to be various advertisements which specifically mention Speaker Gingrich and purport to quote or reference the findings of a 1997 report issued by the House Select Committee on Ethics (the “Report”).

The content of these advertisements state and/or suggest that, Speaker Gingrich was “fined” $300,000 for “violations” of congressional rules. These statements are NOT TRUE. In fact, ANY statement, suggestion, or innuendo that Speaker Gingrich was assessed a congressional fine for violations of House Ethics Rules is fundamentally false and misleading. If published after your receipt of this letter, it will be a knowing publication of a false statement. As such, it represents a defamatory communication which exposes this station to potential civil liability. In turn, we do hereby DEMAND that your station immediately REFUSE, and if started, CEASE airing any such advertisements and refrain from broadcasting their content until such time as the libelous statements have been removed." http://gretawire.foxnewsinsider.com/2012/01/06/gispeaker-gingrich-says-it-is-false-and-defamatory-he-unleashes-his-lawyer-about-romney-superpac-and-official-romney-ads-for-president/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+foxnewsin
