Rally round the Rosen! On his MSNBC show this morning Chuck Todd used variations on the phrase "manufactured controversy" no fewer than eight times in dismissing the controversy around Rosen's "Ann Romney never worked a day in her life" remarks. 
By the end of a subsequent segment, Todd had former Obama and Clinton adviser [and Dee Dee sister] Betsy Myers taking up the "manufactured" meme.

    Greta, On The Record, FNS was in high spin mode last night also, stating it was a misintrepretation of Rosen’s words.
She had a heated debate with Rove.

    It's just plain simple biology that the most important thing that the vast majority of humans ever do is to successfully have and raise children. They have been and are the future.
 For the progressives to openly attack motherhood like this reveals the unnaturalness of their whole agenda.

    And there is no doubt that the MSM is the acknowledged expert in manufacturing controversy. 
 As such, they feel entitled to declare what is a manufactured controversy and what is not.

    Rosen’s remark was a simple but carefully scripted plan to remove Michelle’s extravagant lifestyle from the spotlight of public scrutiny before the elections.

    ‘Manufactured’ Todd? You mean like the ‘manufactured’ racism of the Trayvon Martin incident?
 
To: governsleastgovernsbest
    Chuck Todd and NBC know a manufactured controversy when they see one - its their forte.

    It’s hard to provide straight news coverage when Chuck’s nose is so far up Berry behind...
 
To: governsleastgovernsbest
    If some conservative had said this ("manufactured controversy"), other MSM outlets would have gotten the involved personality (Romney's wife in this case) on their shows to say, in an outraged voice, "I am not a manufactured controversy, I am a human being, and I am outraged and hurt by the hateful and dehumanizing remarks broadcast by MSNBC this morning."
 They would have fallen over themselves to get this on their air as quickly as possible, and then played it over and over again all day long.
