He WILL NOT be criticized by the State-run media. That is the key. Unless or until the State-run media criticize this guy, he can do anything and do no wrong.
The media people are finally seeing the cracks. I switch around in the AM to HLN, CNN, Fox, ABC, etc. and they were all saying this morning how he took so long to respond. The light is beginning to shine and it will continue. There are some journalists out there who do want to be taken seriously.
