in the 2012 campaign and the impact it may or may not have on the final results. joining me jonah goldberg and jewelry riginsky. so, i laugh because gingrich was entertaining, even when you are on the receiving end of it. i don t know if that s an example of bias. but there have been a lot of examples of the media putting the thumb on the scale in this election, jonah. and as we are on election day, how do you think it shakes out? i think it s sort of undeniable that the mainstream media or the meg i media whatever you want to call it, has been quietly or sometimes not so quietly rooting for barack obama. the way they cover this election talking about how obama s
she says you asked her to enter into an open marriage. would you like to take some time respond to that? no, but i will. [cheers and applause] i think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country. harder to attract decent people to public office and i m appalled you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that. megyn: nobody smacked around the media like newt gingrich did. some of us at fox news were on the receiving end of that at times. but that was a moment in the presidential process. newt gingrich scolding john king about the media and their role

barack obama. there is a fundamental head wind against republicans. some of my friends on the right think there is an open conspiracy among the mainstream media to stick it to republicans wherever they can. i agree the mainstream media has given politicians a hard time. they are like werewolves, they prefer to meade on republicans but they must feed on someone. whether romney has gone the a fair shake of the media is untenable. guam has a survey that says americans have a lowest esteem for the mainstream media. the distrust 70% of independents think the mainstream media has fallen down on the job. mitt romney, the way he talks web s not a fluid, comfortable candidate.
