The Daily Show, which is a left wing show, got it right when they did this segment compiling how some people at Fox News who were lukewarm on Mitt Romney are now suddenly in the tank for him since Santorum dropped out.

“Sudden?”

Yeah. I laughed too.

Well the clip highlighted how Krauthammer, Dick Morris and Sarah Palin attacked Romney. But then Kraut said last month Romney would make a good president. Dick Morris changed his tune 360 degrees all of a sudden and told Mike Gallagher he is now carrying Romney’s water. And Pail did say she is hopeful Romney surrounds himself with good people and is convinced he will.

Didn’t even Rush apologize once for carrying McCain’s water and not telling the truth about him in the 2008 campaign?

I definitely see where some Freepers are coming from in their abandoning FOX News. I have no interest in watching 6 months of Romney infomercials which they seem to be starting in full force tonight. Definitely going to have to come up with new stuff to fill all the extra free time I’m going to have this year.

I believe this is one reason The Judge Andrew Napolitano lost his show. He was not in line with backing Romney and was vocal about it. This might also apply to Eric Bolling, who also lost a Fox Business show, because he was not always happy with Romney. They did keep him on The Five.

You know, I think rather than conspiratorially think that they don’t want a not-Romney, maybe they just humanly suppose he’s inevitable and they don’t want to tear him down any further.

That’s been my gut reaction lately, too. I greatly dislike the “attack him ‘cause he’s rich” meme. That’s just beneath our side.

I’m much more afraid of Communists than of Mitt Romney. He’s not a conservative, but he’s not an OWSer. Obama and those closest to him are radicals, and that is much more terrifying. I don’t think Mitt would bankrupt us intentionally, stop our country from producing energy, kill our jobs, or cause races to start a war, but that’s what Obama’s doing. And this is bad and dangerous for our children.

“I have no interest in watching 6 months of Romney infomercials.”

I don’t either. What angers me is how idiots like Dick Morris backed anybody but Mitt Romney and now actively admits he will support Romney to the point of carrying his water and mouthing off about how conservatives will be voting for him with tremendous enthusiasm. Hypocrite. He didn’t even want Romney to win so how can Conservatives be enthused about voting for Romney if he is not hinself.

Fox News won’t tell us the truth on Romney. It is time to get a conservative channel. Fox news is not speaking for me anymore and neither is various other sites promoting Romney.

Would say a 'majority' of those at Fox New were and still 'are' for Romney.

Don't know; but perhaps this story is to designed to 'imply' that more at Fox News are what many in media saw per Santorum; i.e. the 'radical right'. By 'same'; imply by a broader brush stroke; per their attempt to enlarge/confirm negative 'Media Image' for Fox News.

Whatever the case; Romney has never won an endorsement from Communist Party USA.

Obama, Inc.; OTOH. . .finds itself (and why not; of course) praiseworthy, by a majority at CPUSA who dedicate themselves to the same 'CHANGE; that Obama proscribes.

And while they have found some faults with Obama; they do not believe there is any power to be found in 'third party voting' to distinguish themselves; and so will stay at the dance with the 'one' who brought them; while continuing to invite more change from within.

Now here IS a lesson for Repubs; from the patient - and determined - communists! At least it should be a message. . .

VOTE YOUR PARTY - no matter what!
