Morris: Rubio, Fox News Big Losers From New Hampshire

With conservative blogs calling Fox News "the unofficial Super-PAC of Marco Rubio," the network may join the Florida senator as one of the big losers Tuesday night.

Trump – who had been battling the network over its biased coverage – not only triumphed, but Fox's favored candidate came in a disappointing fifth place.

"I am shocked at Fox News," political strategist Dick Morris told Newsmax TV Tuesday night.

Morris, a frequent past Fox commentator, said he had appeared on the network more than 2,100 times and "nobody ever told me what to say."

But he has been "appalled at the blatant bias in favor of Rubio" demonstrated by the network in recent months.

It seems like "almost every second they are hyping him, promoting him," Morris said.

Fox has come under sharp criticism for its after debate spin discussions, especially its focus groups that have had seemingly ordinary voters strongly favor Rubio.

After the last debate in Iowa, Breitbart reported that "pollster Frank Luntz got significant airtime to direct a post-debate focus group that unsurprisingly was very favorable to Rubio, the GOP establishment pick in the primary race."

Breitbart said neither Fox nor Luntz disclosed the pollster’s close ties with Rubio.

According to the conservative online news service, Rubio had paid Luntz more than $250,000 for political work completed in Florida.

    Like it or Mot FOX has been turned into the Republican Establishment propaganda channel. In the beggining they were all praising Jeb Bush, but once they realize he ain't going to get enough support, they switched to Rubio, who just nothing but younger version of Jeb, with more RINO in it. Just look at his voting record. FOX certainly didn't expect outsiders like Trump, Cruz and Carson getting more votes than Bush. Don't get me wrong, Rubio is better candidate than Hildabeast or Sanders, but not by much.

  5. The Fox news network and their anchors, and Trump, Rubio, Cruz and everyone else are just fine folks. Throw some water on that fire on your head...everyone is okay.
