Republican presidential candidate and
media expert Andy Martin says Donald Trump is justified in complaining about
some Fox news coverage as biased
Andy was smeared by Fox News and Rupert
Murdoch during the 2008 presidential race, so Andy has personal experience
about the way Fox News is managed and how biased news coverage emanates from
the Fox executive suite

(Andy writes today from Honolulu ,
where he is completing his major undercover investigation involving abysmal
homeland security practices by Hawai’i
officials.)
(Note: Donald Trump is scheduled to appear on the O’Reilly
factor this evening, September 29th.)
(COC Honolulu September 29, 2015 ) Republican presidential candidate and
Obama author/expert Andy Martin says GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is
right to complain about biased coverage at Fox News. Andy previously wrote
about the Fox news “debate” in August, where Megyn Kelly smeared Trump with
unfair attacks. “Megyn Kelly has continued her slanted coverage of Donald
Trump,” Andy says. “I also know from personal experience that Fox News is not a
‘normal’ news organization. It is a weapon which Fox owner Rupert Murdoch wields
to punish his opponents and to advance his corporate interests.
“On most topics, Fox staff and hosts are allowed to speak
freely. But when Murdoch cracks the whip behind the scenes, the people in front
of the camera cower, with the possible exception of Bill O’Reilly. (Even
O’Reilly had to remove Trump from his show last week when the Trump/Fox dispute
again broke into the open.)
So what happened to me in 2008? I was interviewed for a Sean
Hannity program on Obama (see [1] below). After the program appeared, Obama’s
campaign team went ballistic. The New York Times reported that Democrats were
demanding my scalp. I ended up as one of the “most important stories in the
world,” on the front page of the New York Times.
Because Grandpa John McCain had all but forfeited the
presidential race to Obama by default I had become the leader of forces still fighting
to defeat Obama. (Sara Palin had been muzzled by McCain’s incompetent staff.)
Rupert Murdoch was closely observing the 2008 campaign and
could see McCain was a confused candidate who had no business running for
national office. McCain’s campaign had become an embarrassment to the GOP.
(McCain, however, does manage to get reelected locally in Arizona ,
by pretending to be a conservative at election time.)
Obama sent operative Robert Gibbs to the “Hannity and Colmes”
program to smear me by attacking Hannity for having me as a guest. Hannity fell
into the trap. Gibb was regurgitating the same old garbage that Obama agents
such as New Hampshire GOP chairman Jennifer Horn use to attack me. Same old, same
old.
But Gibb’s and Obama’s smear backfired. The more Obama &
Co. attacked me, the broader my support grew. Except at
Fox News. Fox News management issued a statement attacking me.
If I had surprised or ambushed Fox they might have had cause
to complain. But my participation in Hannity’s program took months. There was
never any surprise or confusion about who I was. What happened? Rupert Murdoch
had already started groveling to his expected winner, Obama, and was currying
favor by smearing me. Fox threw me under the bus to advance Murdoch’s corporate
agenda. It was shameful.
You have to forgive me for thinking, in light of my own
experience, that Sean Hannity is a highly-paid scumbag who lacks the integrity
to apologize for a fraudulent attack on a guest that helped him deliver an
extraordinary program exposing Obama (watch my portion of the show, see link
[1] below).
Hannity has never apologized to me and neither has Fox. So
Trump’s initial apology from Fox in August has already extracted more out of
Murdoch & Co./Fox than I did back when. Now Fox and Trump are fighting a
second round, or third or fourth.
Megyn Kelly has become the keeper of the hen house for Bush
stooges and Trump enemies. Night after night Kelly’s “guests” attack Trump.
Kelly’s favorite two Fox castrados are Rich Lowry and Marc Thiessen. Lowry, in
typical castrado fashion, made a genital analogy in one of his attacks on
Trump. Thiessen is a Bush family stooge who attacks Trump in every appearance
on Fox.
Trump, of course, watches Fox News and sees how he is being
excoriated by Kelly & Crew. Trump is also aware that he receives somewhat
more “fair and balanced” coverage at CNN, the liberal hothouse, than he does on
Kelly’s show.
Bill O’Reilly has treated Trump fairly when I have seen them
together. Because I seldom watch Hannity due to the vacuousness of his show I
can only say that he seems to be balanced in his Trump treatment. But Megyn
Kelly? No way. Almost every night Kelly’s guests are trashing Trump. See [2]
below for another view of why Fox is biased against Trump; some believe that Fox
quietly supports the GOP establishment while pretending to be “conservative” to
attract viewers.
Tonight Trump is supposed to appear again on O’Reilly,
possibly by phone or possibly in person. And Trump and Fox News management have
announced a new meeting to discuss the network’s biased treatment (see [3]
below). What’s to discuss? O’Reilly and Hannity are even-handed; Kelly is
blatantly biased.
Last month when I wrote about Kelly’s misbehavior at the
first debate I provided insight on the enmity between Trump and Rupert Murdoch.
In the end, what Murdoch wants, Murdoch gets. He doesn’t own the whole company
but he owns enough, with rigged stock shares, to control the organization. In
2008, Murdoch wanted to curry favor with Obama, so he slashed me. Today, Murdoch
dislikes Trump, so he is allowing Kelly to slash Trump. And because Kelly has a
fat paycheck to protect, she is doing what she is told by Fox management. The
more things change,…
FOOTNOTE: Andy means action. As soon as Andy
announced his Honolulu news
conference attacking state officials for lax security at the Port
of Honolulu Hawai’i
incompetence and inefficiency.
Copies of Andy’s 2008 book on Barack Obama are available
from the publisher (see below).
