Mitt Romney attacked his GOP presidential rival Newt Gingrich over what has to date been one of Gingrich’s most effective debate methods — going after the moderators and the media for questions he deems inappropriate.
“It’s very easy to talk down a moderator,” Romney said Wednesday on Fox News. “The moderator asks a question and then has to sit by and take whatever you send to them. And Speaker Gingrich has been wonderful at attacking the moderators and attacking the media.”

just said the same on another couple of posts.
The establishment have no clue about the base or the people of this country.
They’re all stuck up in the north east and the beltway and have no clue what we want, what we think etc.
They deliver boring long winded no emotion speeches, no frontal attacks, never calling obama a socialist of which he is as is his agenda.
Newt goes on the attack and the establishment does not want anyone to rock the boat because they think the MSM might call them a name, the poor dears ARF.
They actually think that if they are nice to the left they might be liked off the MSM and to hell with the base
Those are the talking points, but does Mitt actually know how to do this or is it his “staff” that knows how to do it?
We have to remember, Romney is defined as a RINO for a reason, and that reason has everything to do with the fact that he is a liberal.
Liberals defend the liberal biased media...Romney probably paid John King to ask that question first, anyhow.
I think he is like Obama in terms of being completely removed from normal humanity, and it isn’t purely a money thing. There is something missing in the man.
LOL at the title here. Gingrich is right. Anyone who reads/watches, listens to any kind of media knows it is biased toward the left.
the establishment thinks we will all follow like sheep because we don’t like obama but outside the beltway, talk show hosts, the north east and parts of the west coast most of us are fed up of the establishment just as much as this administration.
I will never vote for Romney and I guarantee that and my family will not either so stop sending your flyers tom my house with lies about Newt and stop calling me asking for money and asking me to vote for your RINO
The only explanation I can make for Romney’s utterly irrational behavior is to try appear more “moderate” than ever now that the truth has come out about his record.
And another thing (if that weren't enough), Newt is unflappable and even seems to enjoy this process...unlike Romney, who seems not to be having any fun.
If Romney wins the nomination, he will lick Obama’s toes and kiss his ring during the debates. What a feckin’ pansy this guy is!
There was once an SNL skit where Jim Carrey says "I'll see you in Hell" and gets wild applause from co-workers. Then he keeps doing it over and over until everyone is rolling their eyes. Newt is more aggressive than Mitt. Mitt appears to be trying to blunt the affect of the line.
I didn’t see Romney make these comments but if he is actually criticizing Gringrich’s approach with the moderators he is a fool.
These liberal moderators’ goal is ask a question such that the audience will assume the question is objective and that the perspective of the question comes from a “politically centered” viewpoint. Nothing could be further from the truth. The questions consistently assume the truth of liberal orthodoxy and have the effect of potentially influencing the uninformed and those not capable of critical thinking.
The only way to effectively combat this clear bias is to aggresively and immediately call attention to the erroneous assumptions built into these so-called “objective” questions.
Keep it up Newt!
I have ... splendid fellow, actually. Near as I could tell, he brawls at football matches because it's fun. He enjoys that.
That is visual that makes mitt gag.
What would mitt say if the msm had their collective ---- on mitt's chin.
Nothing, because {you know the punch line}.
The liberal media is for Romney which is why he's defending them...they and he know if you control the messages you control the masses. And of course since the Democrates and media want Romney to win the primary he will continue to appease them and "sound" like Mr. Righteous. He's appealing to the politically correct who think nothing should change from the staus quo.
That said, I always left with the smart crowd before 2 AM. After that, things could get messy.
Newt seems to be hanging with the smart crowd.
Woohoo...keep on Going Romney! You are securing your defeat! Thank you.
BTW: if it’s so easy why doesn’t he do it?
Not good idea...there are only 13 states left...it wouldn't be foolish and put us for a sure win for Omama.
Newt is gonna have a field day with this.
