Look Who the Press Is Blaming for the Ugly Campaign
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 08/15/2012 | IBD Staff

Media Bias: What a surprise. Mitt Romney finally throws a counterpunch to a series of outrageous Obama campaign lies, and the press accuses Romney of going negative. The media's pro-Obama bias is a wonder to behold.

For months, the Obama campaign has offered the public nothing but lies and distortions about Romney's record and his position on the issues. [snip]

So on Tuesday, Romney forcefully hit back at Obama for "wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the presidency . .. President Obama knows better, promised better and America deserves better."

Excellent article. About time someone went after the Obot media for their rabid hypocrisy on this.

The GOP or their super pac should start running ads showing MSM “reports” on this campaign.

Show the bias!!!

This coverage should tell the Romney campaign to keep doing exactly what they are doing, and step it up.

Great article. Spot on.

The left knows that R/R’s pertinent attacks on Obama’s cuts to Medicare are working, and they desperately want them to back down.

Now R/R should really go for the jugular on the economy (the MSM will attempt to spin it, like they did a few months before, that “yes, the public is sour on Obama’s plans for the economy... but they are also equally sour on Romney’s plans” to make Romney have doubts about his efforts. Absolute nonsense- R/R should simply stay on the offensive until Nov.)

“Look Who the Press Is Blaming for the Ugly Campaign”

I can’t believe it’s not President Bush, this time.
