ABC, CBS, NBC Devote More Time (20 to 1) to Romney Flap Than Obama Mideast Mistakes
Newsbusters ^ | September 13, 2012 | Geoffrey Dickens

The Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) Wednesday evening newscasts devoted more than 9 minutes (9 minutes, 28 seconds) to the flap over Mitt Romney's statement criticizing the administration's handling of the Libyan crisis but spent just 25 seconds on questions regarding Barack Obama's Middle-East policy, a greater than 20-to-1 disparity.

Of course. The Jour-0-list is dismantled, the politically corrupt, intellectually bankrupt mindset behind Jour-0-list runs the US “News” media

Obama says that Egypt is NOT an ally, not a peep from the media. If Romney had said it it would be breaking news on all of the networks. Its not the media anymore, just call it what it is, its the Obama Administration. They are not the media just Obama kiss asses who will do his bidding no matter what. Its scary to know that we have a tyrant in the White House who has the full backing of the press

But that would be collusion.

The dems would never evere never do such a thing.

Surprised????? Nope, sub-par for the course.

Obama has a very dismal foreign policy record. How he can criticize Romney for his "lack of foreign policy" experience is madness.

We are in dire need of a congressional investigation into the inner working and alluded collusion's of the “news media”. These are Federal Airways, we own them.

This is certainly not suprising. So why doesn’t Romney bring it up?

Somebody’s going to get fired for allowing that 25 seconds devoted to Obama’s screw-ups.

1. Deflect - Trash your opponent for speaking out of turn? (making up that rule on the fly)

2. Distract - Have your media minions trash your opponent and downplay the tragic events.

3. Demagogue - Wag your finger at your opponent and say he doesn’t know what he is talking about and to let you do your job. Especially when he is right and you have no clue.

I told ya Romney was going to get slaughtered by Obama and the MSM after Labor Day. It is ONLY going to keep getting worse and the feckless Romney is utterly ill equipped to handle it.

But, hey. This is the hand the GOP Elite dealt. After the grand slaughter of the GOP this November maybe we can finally get rid of them.

Which is more newsworthy: the occupant of our White House once again betraying our country, or a man who might really be president in four months? I’m with the alphabet media, I can’t wait to forget that the anti=American bigot from Chicago ever existed.
