I am very disappointed with the outright hostile bias of these pundits. Their crediblity is gone. I'm searching the internet for my news. I'm encouraging all my friends and acquaintances to vote for Mike Huckabee for President. I agree with Eric Worthington, just turn off FOX and the others.

My wife and I used to be avid FOX watchers and Rush listeners, but we've taken a break during the primaries due to their reluctance to treat Governor Huckabee with the same foregiveness and "no spin" that they treat Romney and Rudy. Absolute power corrupts absolutely is an old addage, but it's true. Turn it off is what I’ve done.

W7, check where you placed that decimal. regarding Gov. Romney, it should most certainly be a conflict of interest for him to have any part of purchasing a large communications company. wow … ron paul has raised $18 BILLION dollars?!

I seriously doubt he raised $18,000,000,000 despite a fantastic quarter for him. I wonder where his money truly came from? Could some of it possibly be from democrats wanting to promote him so the Republican Party looks like a bunch of wackos? Maybe. WT,

The truth movement is spreading like wild fire all over the internet and as people perceive this sort of unfair advantage, it only serves to strengthen their determination to talk about real solutions to what's killing this country. These mainstream media personalities have really been clueless to this fact. Or have they. I can't believe they think we're all that stupid. Who in the hell decided to label John McCain- 'The Come Back Kid'? The real news is Ron Paul, who's been chosen by the disenfranchised masses to represent their values. A grass-roots effort at best with little --if any--media coverage; raising more than $18,000,000,000. People are waking up!

Frankly, I don't see the issue that so many want to make about this. Just like with CNN or other stations (be it TV or radio) , turn it off if you don't like the programming.
