In every debate so far, Newt Gingrich has made a point to pique the debate moderator, but, yet, today, a woman asked Newt Gingrich what plan he has to tackle the dirty tactics of the biased media. Has he not made it clear he’ll tackle the MSM one personality at a time?
Gingrich’s first sentence in reply is humorous.
“This may surprise some of you,” he says. “I was dead in June and July — as a candidate, not as a person.”
Actually, what would surprise me more is if he had been actually dead and was now alive again. But no matter. The crowd tittered politely at his quip.
But then Gingrich delivers the crux of his answer — and what he said was important and, I think, highly relevant to repositioning himself with the media so as to be treated fairly if he becomes the nominee and has to face a hostile MSM in the general.
“We all complained correctly when the news media failed to investigate Barack Obama,” he said. “We complained when they refused to look at William Ayers. We complained when they didn’t explain what Saul Alinsky was all about, when they didn’t explain what ‘community organizer’ meant. We were right to complain … So now they’re actually doing for us what they wouldn’t do for Barack Obama. Now, they’re doing it partly out of bias … but that’s fine. This is a free society. … You cannot ask the people of the United States to loan you the most powerful governmental job in the world — particularly on a campaign that is promising dramatic change — and not have them vet you carefully and thoroughly. … I will cheerfully answer every question they ask.”

Could watch the video. At work...
er... Couldn’t that is
The conclusion of the writer, however, is nonsense;
“The media — like the electorate — will be kinder to those they like than to those by whom they’re merely impressed.”
They will be as ruthless as they can and leave any R dead on the side of the road whenever possible.
Newt has been doing the same routine for as long as he has been in politics, a couple of hundred years, he rephrases the question, and bitches about it, this stops the big duh moment and gives him time to think, then he starts slinging crap on the wall hoping something sticks.
Newt's a Freeper?
Sharpton can use any education he can get. Hope you didn’t put that article together with all the low class language.
Opinions are fine if written/spoken in an educated fashion.
Perhaps the author of your linked article could do well by getting more education...or at least class.
Worry, I could understand what you meant.
Reminds me of quite a few FReepers.........................................
The video was very good. Newts answer was great. The man is brilliant and without fear.
President Newt Gingrich....... it’s go to happen and we are going to get our country back.
Regardless, this piece sounds like it was written by a 9th grader.
What has happened to Hot Air?
He is a genius is he not!
You are kind by giving her the 9th grade.
It irks org that Newt slings accurate statistics and data delivered extemporaneously and usually flawlessly. The technique is so good even Herman Cain has taken to using Newt’s method of starting his answers with a number list. That’s true praise.
