In his role as the donor class’s darling, Marco Rubio has enjoyed support from the Republicans’ media arm, Fox News. Throughout the primary, Fox provided Rubio with friendly interviews and key bookings, including the first prime-time response to Barack Obama’s Oval Office address on ISIS. Many of the network’s top pundits, including Stephen Hayes and Charles Krauthammer, have been enthusiastic boosters. Bill Sammon, Fox’s Washington managing editor, is the father of Rubio’s communications director, Brooke Sammon.
But this alliance now seems to be over. According to three Fox sources, Fox chief Roger Ailes has told people he’s lost confidence in Rubio’s ability to win. “We’re finished with Rubio,” Ailes recently told a Fox host. “We can’t do the Rubio thing anymore.”

Whether he knows it or not, Ailes just ratted out Fox News. This proves without any further doubt that while they preach under this fair and balanced moniker, they are more deserving of bought and paid for. If you really think about what he's saying, it's clear that they also have an agenda-- favorite. This is not news reporting, this is tabloid TMZ politico stylistics which there should be no room for in a place where we go for information. If we want their opinions, we can watch shows like the View. However, Fox News should maintain its journalistic integrity and not forward any candidate over others.
Once again, this is another example of why voters need to be hyper-vigilant about self-informing rather than depending on so called news outlets to provide true facts in any given situation. The waters are getting very turbulent out there, information is muddled or altogether false so take the time to do research on your own. Start with Breitbart and other outlets whom pride themselves on being truth tellers. They know the scoops.
