All right moving on -- -- bias bash where one of our regular Fox News contributors.

Up about how mean mainstream media is covering up various controversies.

Of the day or not covering them as -- sometimes the case and joining us now I didn't see is Rich Lowry of the national review.

And also -- Fox News contributor thanks for joining us -- High -- and -- so the question today is now that Rick Santorum is vowing out of the race for the Republican nomination.

How does mainstream media coverage of the race between Obama and Romney changed if it changes.

I think it probably doesn't change very much I would say that the honeymoon is over for at Mitt Romney and it never really was -- honeymoon which makes it different from 2008 -- -- John McCain who's in media darling for about a decade because he is an anti bush Republican and went out of his way to cultivate contacts with the media is very charming.

-- guy in dealing with the press in most instances.

Where at the press turn on them on a dime.

And pretty much as soon as he wondered Republican nomination you had its notorious story at any -- times ran.

About it and alleged affair with an along with a lobbyist all the paragraph but didn't quite come out and say it was an affair and it suggests it is -- inappropriately.

Close relationship.

Thinly sourced shot eight.

Went nowhere -- was embarrassment -- the air times but it was a shock to the McCain people -- they're so used to being beloved by the media Nelson when they were they Republican need entirely changed.

The difference with Romney he's never been beloved by the media that'd be at the press.

Doesn't like and thinks -- funny -- is a rich guy.

All the rest of it so it it's been tough sledding.

For Romney to this point and we'll continue to be tough spots letting in my opinion.

So you got you know President Obama there Obama there making fun of certain things like the fact that -- Romney used the word marvelous.

You he was out there -- -- who uses that word marvelous.

You know that kind of thing do you expect that kind of -- to continue to get -- Great yeah at this there's going to be this it'll be fast thinker -- little drip drip to portray Romney as a weird.

Out of touch guy and the question is does the public.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- But no this is disqualifying I figured it would be the latter -- using the word marvelous.

The national review our founder Bill -- used it all the time says it's a word that's not odd to me but then again Bill Buckley is not the every -- So -- give people compare Romney today there is this -- the now I'm in a blank gun on the end.

The name of if but about it and there's about ten years ago as about a family that thought during the Cuban missile crisis -- The nuclear apocalypse was upon us and -- went down to his bunker -- built their house and they stayed there for about four decades in the speed 60s70s.

And eighties.

And then the sun comes out forty years old.

-- and representing kinda mores in the culture of the 1950s.

Mitt Romney is a lot like that character and the question -- can find that really often and putting -- -- stated they find it kind of charming and an -- earnest way.

You know it's funny because I know movie you're talking about and I can't even name that you have that it is a great loves in the past lackluster pass that I really funny movie -- -- check it out you haven't seen it so.

Other -- what is now rich in terms of Gingrich and Ron Paul and their impact on things.

-- -- impact would be basically nil nil you know Ron Paul it is just gonna keep going because in plausibility never really mattered to him much in his campaign it's causing us to go places and give speeches to big crowds and he's been quite successful -- -- Metrics it'll take it all the way to convention and and try to influence the platform and whatnot but the scenario under which she would have as maximal influence is now gone you know that that would be -- -- -- slightly.

Short of 1144.

The magic number for delegates and had to go to -- Ron Paul hat in hand for a little help and that's not gonna happen.

And -- You know it's it's kinda same scenario I think has this dramatic notion of himself taking all that convention and how that'll be historic.

But since they the outcome will be absolutely and no doubt and I'm country's gonna make it all the way to the convention also sees it piling up a lot of death -- of the basically being dormant.

Campaign.

Where he's technically running for president and he shows up places.

Occasionally but I don't think he gets a lot of attention -- anyone takes it seriously anymore.
