OP stated this gem.
I detest fake conservatives such as you. And I always will. I wont bend my principles for anyone. Fiscal conservatism cant just be a talking point when Dems are in office.
This guy is Mograyback.

It's not everyday that you get to see someone own himself by starting a thread where he refutes his own point in his OP.

I don't see why it's still being talked about on national news outlets at all. This is a New Jersey issue, I don't give crap about it. Although I do hope it makes Christie lose the republican nomination in 2016.

So because Fox didn't cover the story to the extent that MSNBC or CNN did, that means the right wing media "refuses to cover" the scandal?
The story deserved coverage. It got it. But wall-to-wall for a week? Nope.

Dude you've got that "I'm an Obama voter who now Denys supporting him" that it's dripping off you. You can't fake crap like that. Admit it,you voted for that boy twice didn't you?

What I find interesting about the OP is that it quoted Poniewozik's Time article in its entirety - except after making a strong insinuation that Ailes was using Fox to protect Christie, he ended the article with the one short paragraph YOU deliberately "left out" of your post.
"If you work at Fox, how do you not do that math? I don’t claim, or purport to know, whether or not Ailes is giving orders as to how or how much Christie is being covered. But part of the question in the Chris Christie controversy is this: Even if the boss never orders it directly, isn’t it possible his employees will act on what they think he probably wants anyway? That’s not only a question in Trenton."

It was all over on the Drudge Report for days and yes, I recall seeing it being discussed on Fox news.
BTW, Christie is NOT a conservative.

So Fox covers it, just not as much as other networks, other networks cover only it and don't cover other stories that are negative to President Obama, or Democrats and Fox is at fault?
yeah that is worth mentioning.

I'll worry about Christie when he decides to run for president. Until that time he is none of my concern and anything more then a mention on national news is too much, IMO. No NJ resident NO CARE what fat boy does.

I was watching MSNBC and they covered the Christie deal from dawn until they go off the air and show their series on prisons(their other demographic). It was pathetic. Rachel Maddow went on and on. It was more than half her show. She interviewed Steve Kornaki about his break through timeline. The email trail. 4 days later they were still at it. I was embarrassed for them.
