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.
