What the Media Is Saying

So what is the media saying about Mr. Christie... lets use our handy-dandy google search engine.

Hmm well the first thing that pops up is a 538 article how Chris Christie is not John McCain. The eye test says that they are in a similar situation. The deeper story shows that ultimately McCain was not nearly as far behind as Christie is in New Hampshire which is a big state for winning a nomination in a party. So in other words 538 says nice try Christie who only is gathering around 9% of the favor. 538 is not really a huge supporter of Christie so it is no surprise to see a pessimistic attitude.

The second article is from International Business Times "Chris Christie Gave Millions More Pension Dollars To Donor's Firm Than Disclosed, Documents Show" which ultimately says New Jersey law won't allow him to receive anymore money from donors. $16 Million is no chump change. The article confuses me because I am dumb. You call can decipher if you want.

The last of the top three is a CNN story that discusses Christie wanting the US to take another look at the North American Trade Agreement. The story is pretty bipartisan and highlights that this issue is one that many republicans and democrats agree upon. It is again a recent story thus its high placement.

This news is all things that is being covered by the media and not from the the camp of Christie. These three articles are naturally slanted against Christie with it being liberal, but CNN gives the least  bias coverage of the three articles. The news media is always going to grab the top of the page and with Christie not having a great media presence, it is not surprising to see this.

I think if Christie is going to take a step towards the Republican nomination, he will need to push to get his own messages out on social media. If not, he will be taken over by the "liberal news media" and will not be a contender in the election.
