After weeks of blaming Obama for rising gas prices, Fox News now asks if the lowering prices may be a bad thing by linking a drop in gas prices to a weak economy and, again, blaming Obama.
Logic is hard.

"In a network that is fair and balanced, our message gets a good, fair play. But there are some networks that do not give us that fair play, and we’ve got to put some of our people there. We’ve got to get some surrogates there. We’ve got to get more commentators that are there. I was watching a show on CNN the other night where there were three commentators, and, as you can imagine, two were Democrats. Well, you know, let’s even things out."
Mitt Romney, on Fox News’ commitment to being fair and balanced. He further suggests that other, biased networks should follow Fox’s lead. Actually.

"I assume it’s because [Rupert] Murdoch at some point said, ‘I want Romney,’ and so ‘fair and balanced’ became ‘Romney.’ And there’s no question that Fox had a lot to do with stopping my campaign because such a high percentage of our base watches Fox… In our experience, Callista and I both believe CNN is less biased than Fox this year. We are more likely to get neutral coverage out of CNN than we are of Fox, and we’re more likely to get distortion out of Fox. That’s just a fact."
Newt Gingrich, accusing Fox News of a Mitt Romney bias that he believes has damaged his campaign for president.
Fox definitely has a Romney bias, but I’m fairly sure that Gingrich is doing just fine destroying his campaign on his own. Fox News has responded, saying, “This is nothing more than Newt auditioning for a windfall of a gig at CNN. That’s the kind of man he is. Not to mention, he’s still bitter over the termination of his contributor contract.” Gingrich is not the fist GOP candidate to accuse Fox News of bias: Rick Santorum did so earlier this year.
"The president’s goal is to heighten African American turnout by stoking a feeling of victimization in the African American community… I think what he is trying to do is rekindle the sense of black victimization which would impel an increased turnout."
Fox News political commentator Dick Morris, accusing President Obama of using Trayvon Martin’s murder as a political mobilizer for votes.
