A few weeks after Senator Marco Rubio joined a bipartisan push for an immigration overhaul in 2013, he arrived alongside Senator Chuck Schumer at the executive dining room of News Corporation's Manhattan headquarters for dinner. Their mission was to persuade Rupert Murdoch, the owner of the media empire, and Roger Ailes, the chairman and chief executive of its Fox News division, to keep the network's on¬air personalities from savaging the legislation and give it a fighting chance at survival. Mr. Murdoch, an advocate of immigration reform, and Mr. Ailes, his top lieutenant and the most powerful man in conservative television, agreed at the Jan. 17, 2013, meeting to give the senators some breathing room.

Fox's ratings remain strong, but its standing among Republican viewers, influenced by Mr. Trump's offensive, has dropped to a three¬year low, according to YouGov BrandIndex. And Mr. Rubio's opponents, for whom Mr. Schumer, a Democrat from New York, has become the ultimate villain, continue to depict the Florida Republican as a duplicitous establishment insider. "If you look at the 'Gang of Eight,' one individual on this stage broke his promise to the men and women who elected him and wrote the amnesty bill," Senator Ted Cruz said of Mr. Rubio during Thursday's Republican debate.


The senators were especially eager to try to neutralize conservative media, which proved lethal to a big push for immigration changes in 2007. A study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism showed that conservative news shows had devoted about a quarter of their time to immigration. In late 2012, after Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee, lost the presidential election in part because of his dismal performance with Latino voters, Mr. Rubio joined the fight. On one Sunday alone in April 2013, he made an appearance on seven talk shows to advocate the immigration overhaul, including on "Fox News Sunday." Mr. Rubio also reached out to other conservative power brokers, including the radio hosts Mark Levin and Laura Ingraham, telling them that the legislation did not amount to amnesty. The Fox anchors Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly became more supportive.

We see and read this stuff, and wonder, "Who'd be so stupid for vote for Bernie Sanders?" 
When politicians lie and get caught, the corruption is what the Left keys on.

Bernie says, "The FIX is in!"  It's all decided in the back rooms, they're all corrupt, and you're being suckered, over and over... Vote for ME, and I'll change that - using instances like this to support his narrative.

It's not a "narrative" when it's the bald faced truth.

Sanders isn't lying about things being decided for us by a few, behind closed doors.

Obozocare itself is an example of that.

Or have we all forgotten then Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi standing there telling the American people that "we have to pass it, before you (the people) can know what's in it"?

I just disagree that Sanders it he one to fix that problem.

I don't think Trump really is the one either to fix that problem either though.

It's a problem that no one person is going to go to D.C. and fix.

No to fix that problem it's going to require someone in the White House and a whole lot of someone's elected to the Congress.
