Fox News Finds a New Way to Diss Mitt Romney

Remember when Fox News would 'accidentally' list any Republican involved in a scandal as a Democrat?

Well, on a similar note, if anyone doubted that Romney is Fox's least loved Republican candidate, check out this graphic from last night's report.




















It has been shown that there is a direct lineal correlation between minutes spent on Fox News and the poll standings of Republican presidential candidates. It could be argued therefor that FoxNews is Obama's biggest single strategic asset. To appease Fox and to get the face-time they need to win the Republican nomination, candidates have to dance to Fox's hard-right tune, a dance that will distance themselves from the great bulk of American voters.

So it is that with Obama's approval rating languishing in the lower 40%'s, he his well ahead of all his likely opponents, some argue that he may even be heading for a landslide victory. The two candidates that have a chance of beating Obama - the worthy (though dull) Mitt Romney and the intelligent and articulate John Huntsman have next to no Fox face time, and are thus falling away in the polls.
