Not so stupid. Another way to look at it: you have a new home built. You find what you believe to be a number of construction defects.
According to your construction contract, you have agreed to submit the matter to arbitration, before or instead of going to court.
You learn that the arbiter is the local president of the county home construction association.
In the same way, the MSM is in the bag for Zero. We all know it, but pretend it isn’t so (except of course on FR). All Newt is saying is, “I demand a level playing field.” Good for him.
I don’t think requiring a `fair shake’ is asking anything unreasonable. “They” can find some impartial arbiters/moderators (acceptable to all—perhaps a panel and they strike off), or they can go pound sand.
I don’t want impartial. Where is Baghdad Bob when you need him?
I want the reddest, commiest, most dishonest journalists out there.
Line up the dirtiest and dumbest they got - Rather, Maher, Stewart, Amanpour, Stephanopoulos, Gregory, Mika, Politico, Andrew Sullivan - that’s a whole baseball lineup there.
Newt will make them all whiff. That is Newt’s strength - taking them and their ideology on.
Newt does not have to answer any of their questions he feels are biased. Just ignore their question, and turn it into an Obama vetting probe. The one they didn’t do in 2008.
