Sen. Lindsey Graham, who announced today he's running for president, has previously suggested he fears attacks from Fox News. Graham has attempted to placate the conservative network with nonstop appearances and praise of their coverage of issues like Benghazi and immigration reform.
Ryan Lizza reported in The New Yorker that during 2010 negotiations on a climate bill, Graham warned fellow senators "that they needed to get as far as they could in negotiating the bill 'before Fox News got wind of the fact that this was a serious process.'"
But, back in Washington, Graham warned Lieberman and Kerry that they needed to get as far as they could in negotiating the bill "before Fox News got wind of the fact that this was a serious process," one of the people involved in the negotiations said. "He would say, 'The second they focus on us, it's gonna be all cap-and-tax all the time, and it's gonna become just a disaster for me on the airwaves. We have to move this along as quickly as possible.' "
when you present yourself with two faces with two different narratives one of those faces will get smacked down. how weird is it traditionally republicans run to Fox knowing they will get a break unless the party is not pleased with them then they get the stink eyed attacks. they talk about how he is a smart politician well burning the candle at both ends eventually leaves you with nothing to hold on to. and teeing off the largest right wing propaganda machine in their favor doesn't exactly make you the sharpest knife in the drawer.
that is the problem with republicans they force you into being one person to get noticed than another to stay noticed then you have to get extreme just to get in the running if you make it they expect you to stand in front of all of America and say never mind i was just pandering to the party and now they are pandering to you. what a life right wing politics is by the time the general election comes you don't know who you are voting for the first guy or the last one that tells you just forget about it and vote for me.
