Romney should have excoriated her right then and there for taking sides in the debate.
And then, the GOP should have universally ignored her and her network, and pointedly said: until she is fired (not "resigns to pursue other interests"), we aren't talking to CNN.
And they should put the rest of the media on notice: you take sides, you had better be ready to hear only one side of the story, because the only way you will hear ours is on your competitor's network/newspaper.
As if anything can get between a politician and a TV camera.
Repubs need to nix anyone the dems suggest as debate moderators or refuse to participate and make sure everyone knows why!!. Start talking about debate moderators now so it won't come as a big surprise the media can try and spin, badly for Repubs of course.
Conservatives need to take serious aim at the media. I think the next Repub Prez should shut the media out, close the WH Press Corp room - just issue statements - and go directly to the people via the "new media" (internet, social media, etc.), cut the media out completely (hey, it's a new age, media. Try and keep up!!). See tag line.....
“Romney should have excoriated her right then and there for taking sides in the debate.”
Just for that I wish Newt had been the candidate - he would have raked her over the coals.
