EXCLUSIVE: Open mic captures press coordinating questions for Romney
The Right Scoop ^ | 9/12/12

Posted on 09/12/2012 11:27:01 AM PDT by KansasGirl

Before Romney issued his statement today, an open mic capture the press coordinating questions to ask Romney, with one saying “no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question”. I’ve transcribed it to the best of my ability but the audio is below for verification:

I’ve labeled one as the CBS News reporter as I believe it is Nancy Cordes who works for CBS News. I’ve I gotten that wrong I apologize and will correct.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: …pointing out that the Republicans… *unintelligible* …Obama….

CBS REPORTER: That’s the question.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: *unintelligible*

CBS REPORTER: Yeah that’s the question. I would just say do you regret your question.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Your question? Your statement?

CBS REPORTER: I mean your statement. Not even the tone, because then he can go off on…

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: And then if he does, if we can just follow up and say ‘but this morning your answer is continuing to sound…’ – *becomes unintelligble*

CBS REPORTER: You can’t say that..

**Later**

CBS REPORTER: I’m just trying to make sure that we’re just talking about, no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Do you stand by your statement or regret your statement?

I have been listening to talk radio for over 20 years, and NOBODY can touch Chris Plante. He is the BEST. Mark Steyn is a close second.

I really don’t understand how the GOP hopes to win any election when 99% of the media is actively supporting the DNC.

It is truly a Soviet style election. And, Fox News is hiring more libelals......

Looks like Romney has an out for calling on CBS ever. If they whine he can just tell them he assumed they had coordinated their questions with other reporters so “they’re covered.”

Haha! Well done! Would love to see it!

Romney or Preibus or somebody should jump on this and demand a change in the “moderators” for the debates.

WE NEED TO PROTEST T.V STATIONS OF THE M.S.M. And let them know we are NOT going to take their lies, and "hiding" of the news, and "manufacturing of false news". Enough is enough! Who lives close by a news station? Get your friends together and go protest. I'm checking out my area.

Listen up (this is how propaganda works) ..... how many Americans do you know who fit this "picture"....this is exactly what the media is doing to Mitt Romney for speaking out against the terrorist and those who just killed an American ambassador and others. OBAMA IS A JOKE - NO SECOND TERM FOR THIS FRAUD!!

I suppose I was on the wrong end of the stick for this one, as every pool I've been in, such arrangements are extremely common. That was back in 2000 with Gore/Loserman. Never even occurred to me that this would be seen as anything amiss.

Even on my father's old tapes back during the Mercury and Apollo days, you can hear coordination between reporters as to questions to be asked.

Does the press not realize that if hussein is re-elected its all over for them too?

Oh... no matter what, there will always be a need for TALKING HEADS.

Or Romney could turn the tables and ask a pressie “Is this an original question or is it one the press pool decided on?”

I dont think Obama even wants to win

I agree.

I'd look for him to divorce Moochelle, somewhere towards the end of 2013 or so. BEFORE he gets his 10-million advance on his book, "My Life as the First Black President, Volume I".

Then he'll go on tour to do what he does best.... get paid 50G's a pop for reading a teleprompter to adoring sycophants.

You heard it here first.

And the GOP allows these people to moderate the debates. What can an ordinary citizen do to stop these moderators??? Where are the Republicans?

The 1ST Amendment reads as follows:
The right of the press to be free to shape,mold,control news and decide what stories will be covered for the benefit of the democratic socialist people's party shall not be infringed. The propaganda of the forces reaction will not allowed to poison the minds of the people and will be properly maligned so as to discourage the people from deviating from proper collectivist thought.

The next president is going to inherit a mess of unimaginable proportions. If it's Obama, he and the media will blame Bush. If it's Romney, the press will blame him and his policies until the people BEG for Hillary to take his place in 2016.

Has it occurred to you that if Obama loses, he will be able to run again in 2016? I know it seems absurd to think about now, but if the economic collapse is as bad as I think it will be, a 2016 run is not outside the realm of possibility. Remember, the republicans will take all the blame for the collapse, and Obama can ride in on his white horse as a savior again and finish the job of destroying America.

Send to O’Reilly. Generally, he’s an idiot, but a useful one since he has the largest viewership. If he covered this story (maybe in the spot he does with Bernie Goldberg) more people would hear it.

Re Drudge and Blaze; only political wonks go there, and it would be preaching to the choir. It needs to be covered on TV.
