From the January 29 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:

BILL O'REILLY: Now, I feel Rick Santorum's pain. He is absolutely correct. We have not had him on The Factor. But there is a reason for that. We're not in the campaigning business here. We don't put politicians on the air simply to spout their slogans. That's what political ads are for. We cover the news. And when a politician is in the news, they get on the program. That's why Donald Trump gets so much air time. He is dominating the news cycle by injecting controversy into the political arena. And you know what? That's not fair. Other candidates are being left out. Like Rick Santorum. Honestly, we looked for a reason to put the senator on, but we couldn't find any. His poll numbers are very low. His campaign strategy is what it was four years ago. There is simply nothing new. Again, Rick Santorum is absolutely correct that the lack of media exposure is hurting his campaign. But it's not anything personal against Rick. I like him. He is smart. He is honest. And you could do worse in electing a president.
