Mitt Romney: Fox News Gives Us 'Good, Fair Play'
Source: Huffington Post
Mitt Romney has now expanded on his Sunday comments about moving beyond Fox News, telling conservative radio host Laura Ingraham on Wednesday that he thought the network had treated him fairly, but he wanted more Republican representation on other outlets.
"Fox is watched by the true believers," Romney told an audience at a private fundraiser this past weekend. "We need to get the independents and the women."
Asked by Ingraham about that comment, Romney said, "I realize, of course, that Fox has a lot of independent voters, a lot of Democrats that watch. 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."

Once they are in prison for life, then Fox can be dissolved, and the airheads fired and no new jobs for them.

Fox is never fair and balanced outside its own right-wing agenda.
Amazingly enough other networks provide the news - good or bad = fair and balanced.
Mitt is just playing the "poor little me" card, yet again.
