Juan Williams: "Don't Blame The Media Because The Republicans Have A Mediocre Field Of Presidential Candidates"

From Mediaite, about the moderate-liberal commentator: "In a segment asking whether media coverage of the GOP election is biased, Fox & Friends showed a clip of Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC, expressing the need for an alternative to Newt Gingrich because of 'desperation' among the Republican elite. Panelist Andrea Tantaros, a regular on The Five, felt that the 'mainstream media' definitely has an agenda when it comes to GOP candidates..."

It continues: "Juan Williams agreed that the (mainstream) media characterized tension between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton differently, but pointed out a notable distinction: 'You didn’t have a majority of Democrats saying ‘Gee, we wish someone would enter this contest like a magical man or woman on a carpet and come and rescue us all,' but 'most Republicans feel that way because it’s such a mediocre field.' And it isn’t just the mainstream (aka left-leaning) media, he argued. Conservative publications are also echoing Mitchell’s narrative. The fact is, he continued, that Republicans aren’t rallying around Romney, and they have questions about Gingrich. That’s what’s going on right now, he said, rather than some sort of 'grand conspiracy' among branches of the MSM."
