Well then, if he doesn't PLAY BALL with FOX he will be royally screwed and tatooed--LOSER! He cannot win the Republican base without FOX. (Oh my my my, just where will ROVE'S allegiances go with this one??) Report: Fox News Is Too Negative For Jeb Bush ByTOM KLUDTPublishedOCTOBER 24, 2014, 2:40 PM EDT 6008 Views No stranger to taking on his party's most conservative voters, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) is now calling out the bastion of conservative media. CNN's Peter Hamby reported that during a speech Thursday night at a South Carolina fundraiser, Bush "singled out Fox News" while expressing "annoyance with the polarizing fights and constant negativity of the political news media." Bush reportedly said that he only watches Fox "for a few minutes a day before switching over to SportsCenter." Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) has been similarly critical of Fox, but the remarks from Bush are notable given how strongly he broke from conservatives on immigration earlier this year. And with the Republican National Committee's stringent controls over the party's 2016 primary debates, Bush, a possible presidential candidate, might have made an enemy of one of the few media outlets that is allowed to moderate. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/jeb-bush-fox-news-too-negative
FOX will support whoever the nominee is and it is Bush's to lose. The left should be extremely worried about him since he is very moderate and will more than likely be the exact type of republican the party needs to win against someone like Hillary or Warren. He is a very good debater, he is vetted, and he has a solid record as governor. He also support education (his main platform) and immigration reform. He also does not have the list of gaffes that the top democratic contenders do.
The commentators on Fox are blatently bias. It gets old...even though I agree with most everything. But the news itself...is fair. You can't say that about msnbc or CNN. CNN puts on a fake front of objectivity and manipulates stories for an agenda. Msnbc is just looney left from news to commentator.
I can not see this guy winning just based on his last name. I know republicans wont mind at all, but I dont think he could pull enough of the indy vote to win. If the dems have a solid turn out, the republicans will need the indys to win imo.
I'm from Florida. I'm not a bit worried. Unless of course he is able to FIND his business partner who fled the country and WAS on the FBI's most wanted list and sent back to the US for trial. And maybe kill off a couple of other shady guys he was in business with. Then we get into his FAILED EDUCATION policy as governor. Then we have his political appointee who INVESTED IN ENRON STOCK (buying it even as it was tanking) and lost a full third of the Florida State employee's pension fund (I think it was about $400,000,000). And frankly, not enough WOMEN are going buy Paloma's trying to smuggle stuff back into the country after her $40,000 shopping spree in Europe (or wherever the hell she bought all her goods and claimed $8,000 at Customs). And there is this one... GIVING HIS BROTHER THE PRESIDENCY in 2000 with the help of a campaign operation directly from Kathleen Harris' office which was entirely ILLEGAL. Let me assure you! WE will got that all out into the open for the rest of country to see. I will be happy to email people in every state of the union with annotated press stories from my state.
Well even FOX happens on 'fact' from time to time. But the news itself is FAR from FAIR. And at least MSNBC hires fact checkers. FOX admittedly so, didn't bother (I think they might have finally hired one out shame but I'll assume it is just a title with a paycheck). Incidentally, if you don't like MSNBC, blame FOX. There would NEVER have been an MSNBC had there not been a FOX! Period.
He said the "negativity of the POLITICAL NEWS MEDIA"...not "FOX IS TOO NEGATIVE FOR ME"!! ANOTHER THREAD TITLE LIE!!!
Here is your problem, it is already out in the open and none of it has been proven to have made the slightest difference in his numbers. If that is all you have, you are in big trouble. Certainly nothing in your list compares with Benghazi which is how that little match is going to go. And the Supreme Court validated his brother's presidency.
The very LAST thing America needs is another Bush or Clinton in the White House. Who gives a frag what Bush thinks?
completely agree. Its kinda sad in a population our size that there isn't one man or woman worthy of the job who isn't a Clinton or a Bush. Enough people. Democrat or republican, we should strive for leaders with integrity. We deserve better than Obama, Bush and Clinton. Cardboard cutouts would have been better for the country.
Who do you call for when the government itself is the enemy of America? Patriots know the answer to this question.
As big as their audience is, I can't believe MSNBC will be around much longer. Even if they are the White House mouth piece. They are wasting their money paying fast check, if they aren't pointing out all the lies and doctored tapes they put out.
Can Jeb win the big Blue States over the Dem candidate? How does he poll in California, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois? If he can't win there he's a loser.
Jeb Bush notices what non Neoliberals and the more objective people notice about Fox. They are stirrers of fecal matter, and are quite skilled in a concerted effort to keep the stink heavy in the air. And generally it is a well thought out propaganda ploy. The Fox coverage, as little as it was of Ron Paul in the last presidential republican primary campaigns basically ridiculed the man, likening him to the crazy uncle, with the smirks, the facial expressions, the rolling of Neoliberal eyes. It was quite sickening, but the true believers ate it up like ice cream on a Mississippi hot august day. It is amazing that Fox News is even considered a news network. I am amazed at the number of people who actually think its hard, unbiased news. Jeb Bush is probably a moderate republican, and Fox has no use for moderates, and it seems that neither does the republican congress as most moderates have exited the building, being called RINOS. The litmus test for republicanism is a hard Neoliberalism. Their umbrella has shrunk in size quite a bit since Nixon, to the extent that anyone that would stand under it to get out of the rain, gets soaked. Jeb Bush is intelligent enough to recognize what the changing demographics will do to the republican party and knows they need a much larger umbrella, for even gerrymandering will not save such a party with a tiny umbrella as the election cycles move into the future. Fox News is certainly an extremist news organization with an agenda. In the world of news they would be considered a fundamentalist news outlet.
