Politics | Rick Santorum Santorum: Fox, O'Reilly Dissed Me Former senator complains that right-wing media dismissed his candidacy By Polly Davis Doig Posted Jan 2, 2012 2:10 PM CST Copied Rick Santorum waits to be introduced during a campaign stop at the Daily Grind coffee shop on January 1, 2012 in Sioux City, Iowa. (Getty Images) Seems Dan Savage isn't the only member of the media with whom Rick Santorum has a bone to pick: Even the right-wing media stalwarts over at Fox News have dissed the former Pennsylvania senator's candidacy, he complains today in a radio interview picked up by Mark Halperin of Time. "Bill O'Reilly has refused to put me on his program. As far as he was concerned I wasn't a worthy enough candidate to earn a spot to sit across from him and be on his program." With Iowa's caucuses looming tomorrow, Santorum currently sits in a virtual three-way tie with Ron Paul and Mitt Romney.
