Is Fox GOP propaganda unit, Starting To Make Marco Rubio Their Man For President?

Now that Fox is on the outs with Donald Trump, the “fair and balanced” network seems to be looking at Senator Marco Rubio as their rebound love for president.

Last night, Fox hosts repeatedly gushed over Rubio’s “surprise” third-place finish. Even though, as Media Matters pointed out, polls consistently showed him in that position. You might have thought he won and not Ted Cruz.

I put together a mash up video showing the spin. Watch it below, from Fox News’ coverage of the February 1 Iowa caucuses. By the way, it’s not just Fox promoting this hype.

So, they've moved on to rubio. Faux will do everything they can to prop him up. They'll have more success on that track.

With Roger Ailes running around his home in Florida,by the way with the aid of a walker,Faux is falling apart. Wall Street and Sheldon Adelson as well as T.Boone Pickets are throwing big bucks behind this half term Senator.

He refuses to do his Senate job.

This is nuts.

Is there anyone less qualified?
