I finally found someone who echos my thoughts and "ponderings" vis a vis Fox News, regarding Election 16
I too have had the thought that if Reagan were running in this election cycle, he would not be endorsed by FNC, just as Cruz is not exactly supported by them (like other candidates)
I also have had many of the same thoughts as the person who wrote this, at this site:

excerpt:
While it may be that Cruz personally grates on the GOP establishment because he challenges them and won't play ball, perhaps its key concern is that it feels that his conservatism is out of the mainstream, thus making him unelectable in a general election. If so, the establishment should make that case to the GOP primary voters — at this writing it should be noted, Cruz falls within the margin of error or better against presumed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in a general election.
...the burden of proof rests on the GOP establishment to show that its strategy is any better. For it has nominated Mitt Romney and John McCain in the last two presidential elections, and seen many of its candidates successfully primaried.
...Does the party not share the values and principles of its voters? Does the party feel that a conservative president threatens its political power? Does the party fear retribution?
