>>what does the media establishment have to loose with Newt?

He’ll attack them relentlessly. He will run against the media with even more passion and viciousness than Nixon. The landscape is very different now, and it will be the undoing of what’s left of the MSM.

I don’t trust Newt fully, but I do think he would “shock and awe” the political establishment- right, left and center. Win or lose, it would be worth it.

Thanks for taking the time. Very interesting point. The so called msm has become an "establishment" and needs a thorough and public examination.

I said they went from fourth estate to fifth column because the media have, as you're indicating, changed from a "news" media to become a social change agent. Ditto many professions anymore it seems.

If it's just another rino, win or loose won't matter too much. Maybe Newt is a good choice.
