I'll take these one by one.
That was the MSM reaction to his response, so everyone thinks he’s “out”.

The reaction is due to his poll numbers dropping. He had the momentum, all he had to do was hold on to it and the race was his. Now Gingrich has the big mo.

What if MSM had done the same to Obama, for any number of things?

What if frogs had wings? Look the MSM will always give the Democrats a pass. If a GOP candidate needs the MSM to be fair to win we have already lost. We need candidates who can win even when the MSM is completely out to get us. Gingrich, for all his other faults, has shown he can counter punch the MSM. Cain hasn't mastered the one line press slam that put Reagan in the White House.

MSM is running this primary.

Duh! Always have, always will. Lincoln had to play to the newspapers in the Lincoln Douglass debates and you have to play to the cable channels and bloggers now. The term moderator should be abolished. The press is, and has always been, the primary participant at the debates. It is not just the ability to defeat the other candidates that matters, but the ability to defeat a hostile press that will determine the winner.

“The reaction is due to his poll numbers dropping.”

I think his numbers dropped because of all the negative press about a nothing gaffe. The issue was chanted over and over.
