This is incredible why does Newt Gingrich have a platform?

The guy who carried the state of South Carolina in the Republican primary, who was propped up by his one billionaire backer until the very end, was interviewed by a host who seemed to have amnesia about Gingrich's other comments about Ryan's plan being right wing social engineering. This is everything wrong with the main stream media. One good thing this will help him with his speaking fees so he won't have to get a job as a junior janitor. I understand Tiffany's is expensive on a janitor's budget.
