Fox News has been delivering some harsh coverage lately to Fred Thompson’s non-campaign campaign. Last week, Fox’s Carl Cameron disapprovingly noted Thompson loafing around in a golf cart while “not campaigning” in Iowa. And now, Thompson’s getting criticized on the channel of Murdoch for failing to give a half-decent speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. “The former U.S. Senator seemed to struggle at times delivering his speech. … Thompson seemed unfamiliar with the applause lines in his own speech.” The Fox commentator also pointed out that while Thompson was interrupted seven times for applause, the “anti-Iraq war Democrat” Barack Obama received 18 applause breaks. If Thompson can’t get favorable coverage in the conservative press, how soon until the rest of the media pops the already deflating Thompson bubble?
