you detect any bias in there? [laughter] i understand when we are reality-based and we are the reality-based community, i know that upsets you, but i don t see what he said that was wrong. look, he s entitled to have an opinion. [laughter] this is a narrative being set up to say you see the media loves obama, hates the republicans, hates mitt romney true. megyn: well, bill o reilly was suggesting that last night. mitt romney ought to really worry about getting republicans to like him, never mind getting the media to like him. megyn: this is a very powerful organization, the ap. we cite their or reports a lot, their content appears in tens of thousands of newspapers and web sites around the world, and that s the guy heading it up. that s the problem. they re the definitive news voice in america that everybody cites. alan, come on, he can t even pretend to be objective. liberals drop a pretense of fairness when they do things like this and, of course, it s not just a narrative,
i was out on the trail when it kind of came to me. this wasn t a hard decision. this was one of those where you take a look and didn t do as well in iowa as you wanted to, but this is a quirky place and quirky process. quirky candidate maybe. rick perry gave what most people thought was a prelude to a suspension, he tweeted here we come south carolina. what happened, everyone? did everybody see that tweet? the rick perry is the most confusing in the whole campaign. you re in new york and hearing stories about how he campaigned against kay bailey hutchison and was brutal. i thought he would get in the race and shut the club down. i thought it was going to be over. he did try to make it rain. i was starting to feel sympathy in advance for romney. poor romney, he s about to be defined as a moderate
