Last night, I watched what was called a "Republican Forum" on Fox "news". The moderator (Chris Wallace), a so-called NH focus group, and various Fox commentators were blatant Romney supporters. Mitt himself came across, as usual, as purely a slick corporate cheerleader. Huckabee was roundly condemned and ridiculed by everyone on Fox, and even Rush has evidently been making a point to bashing "populist" Huckabee. Fox even featured Romney fans bashing Huckabee for being "too religious"! Funny, when GW Bush spouts religion, it's always fine with the Republican big whigs, perhaps because those in power know it's just a ploy to divert attention from the corporate agenda. (Even the Iraq war seems to have been more about maximizing business opportunities and securing resources than anything else.)
I don't mean to come across as a raving anti-corporate nut, but since when is one powerful "news" station, even one as blatantly partisan as Fox, so unabashedly favoring one candidate at this point in the election cycle? According to everyone on Fox last night, Mitt is just the most wonderful and presidential candidate ever.
