→Fox News versus Conservatives: conservative opposition research
==Fox News versus Conservatives==
==Fox News versus Conservatives==
Popular opinion programming is skewed in favor of voices from establishment Republican, [[RINO]] members. This is most evident with their guest speakers such as [[Karl Rove]]. Fox News will occasionally follow stories about the [[Tea Party|Tea Party movement]] however they prefer to air the liberal side prominently, airing outright lies from liberals. [[Rush Limbaugh]] claimed Fox News wouldn't let him talk about immigration issues and preferred to control the narrative, also known as [[censorship]]. <ref>[http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/07/02/rush-limbaugh-accuses-fox-news-of-trying-to-censor-him-quite-telling/ RUSH LIMBAUGH ACCUSES FOX NEWS OF TRYING TO CENSOR HIM: ‘QUITE TELLING’, The Blaze.com, July 2, 2013]</ref> Republican RINO leadership such as [[John McCain]], [[Lindsey Graham]] and others love the spotlight of a camera and Fox News is there for them.

Fox News makes sure to hammer conservative guests. In September 2013, Fox's Chris Wallace claimed that establishment Republicans gave him opposition research against conservative [[Ted Cruz]] in his fight to defund [[Obamacare]]. <ref>[http://weaselzippers.us/2013/09/22/foxs-chris-wallace-republicans-feeding-me-opposition-research-against-ted-cruz/ Fox’s Chris Wallace: Republicans Feeding Me Opposition Research Against Ted Cruz, WeaselZippers.com, September 22, 2013]</ref> Wallace has refused calls for him to release names. Nearly every host and guest, with the exception of [[Sean Hannity]] and [[Laura Ingraham]], spread the establishment surrender message that the GOP can't win the defunding fight.
