Dear Commons Community,

The Huffington Post is reporting that Republican presidential candidate, Rick Santorum,  accused Fox News of “shilling” for Mitt Romney during an interview with Fox’s Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday morning.

“The man has had a ten-to-one money advantage,” Santorum said of Romney on the radio show “Kilmeade & Friends.  “He’s had all the organizational advantage. He has Fox News shilling for him every day — no offense, Brian, but I see it — and yet, he can’t seal the deal because he just doesn’t have the goods to be able to motivate the Republican base and win this election.”

Kilmeade defended his network, saying Romney’s campaign team answered interview requests, and that he had tried to get Santorum on his show for at least three and a half months, with no response.

And I thought that Fox News was an equal shilling opportunity broadcaster and shilling for anything that carried the Republican Party label.
