This is "NEWS"? This is a way old story reported many times when it first surfaced.
Rudy is their boy's boy (hannity bottoms for rudy) so he gets puff pieces like this. and one-on-one fawning interviews with no followup questions etc.
there was a review of airtime given to all the repub candidates and I dont recall the exact numbers, but Rudy was like double the next closest candidate.
