Report: Fox News Is Too Negative For Jeb Bush

No stranger to taking on his party's most conservative voters, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) is now calling out the bastion of conservative media.

CNN's Peter Hamby reported that during a speech Thursday night at a South Carolina fundraiser, Bush "singled out Fox News" while expressing "annoyance with the polarizing fights and constant negativity of the political news media."

Bush reportedly said that he only watches Fox "for a few minutes a day before switching over to SportsCenter."

..............

And with the Republican National Committee's stringent controls over the party's 2016 primary debates, Bush, a possible presidential candidate, might have made an enemy of one of the few media outlets that is allowed to moderate.

1. He knows...

Fox will eat his brain cells and lower his IQ substantially.

4. Maybe brother W could donate a few of his.......

Then again, maybe not.

2. Careful if he wants to run for president.

People who criticize the far right even remotely tend to not do well in Republican primary.

8. It's a ruse.

Part of the effort to make him appear "normal" for a republicon. Fox and the rest of the right wing noise machine will get behind him.

3. This could be a sign

that Jeb will not be running for president.

[Ino]

5. What an ignoramus...

It's Fox News or sports? Does he not realize there are other news stations he could watch?

11. That much eh?

What are you, some kind of junkie?

[djean111]

7. Oh, Jebbie might just be pandering, in order to look more reasonable.

One can never be too cynical about Bushes, methinks.

[UTUSN]

9. Uh, let's add up the clues: AILES is a NIXON acolyte, uh, BFEE lets newbies in

to *USE* for their own, long-term ends...

Yeah, I'm over-thinking...

[KinMd]

10. Picture the republican debates in 2016

With Rick Santorum, John Bolton, Ben Carson, Trump maybe, Michelle Backman, Ted Cruz, Rubio ,and Paul...( add your favorite wing nut here)...Bush will seem like the most reasonable...but it's a really low bar

[PAProgressive28]

12. Honestly Dubya seems reasonable compared to the 2014 Republicans

[Xolodno]

13. He's betting....

...that the extreme right wing implodes. He knows he can't win by going hard right...and then run to the middle during the election. Too much media "known as the internet" can drag everything he says knowingly and unknowingly out to the air and hurt him...like it did Romney. So I'm guessing he figures, screw it....run for the middle at the beginning....and hope the GOP follows suit. If they don't...they are going to lose anyway.
