He covers the Cruz citizenship issue and well as other issues.

FOX is fair and give him time but people get lost in the weeds and the
sound bites. That is Trumps big deficit as too many voters just pay
attention to the sound bites and fact that he is a republican makes it
worse because liberal media thrives on feeding them to us.

If the media is so liberal, how come Trump gets 20 times as much news
coverage as Bernie Sanders. Trump has has 20 or 30% of the
Republicans in polls and Bernie has had the same percentage of the
Democrats, but Trump gets 20 times as much coverage.

The media is OWNED by big money. Bernie is a threat to big money.
Connect the dots.

Exactly. The media is not liberal. That's just another
complaint/excuse by conservatives.

How bout you look up what percentage of the media are registered Democrats and
get back to us.

It has nothing to do with political bias, etc. Media is all about selling
the Medium. Murdoch will gladly air shows that poke fun of Conservative
values/mindsets -- *if* it lets him sell more advertising dollars because
he's pandered to what the viewers *want*!

_The People's News_ by Uscinski

If you'd like a more in depth discussion:
_The Interplay of Influence: News, Advertising, Politics, and the Internet_

It's sad that folks tend to go *looking* for folks who are saying what
they want to *hear*! Then, wonder why folks dismiss *their* opinions as
"uninformed".

With all the media available to you -- sitting at your keyboard -- ask
yourself which site(s) you visit. Then, judge for yourself whether *you*
have an "informed opinion".
