This isn't just the MSM, conservative media are all over this as well. These clips up are up at Hot Air, Michele Malkin, Ace, etc.
Not only does Cain flub in trying to answer a simple question about Libya, he gets the collective bargaining stuff completely wrong and comes out in support of public employees "right" to collectively bargain.
Herman is getting by on his skills as a motivational speaker - but on policy he knows practically nothing and he can't fall back on 999 for everything.
I have no desire for a "brilliant" president who has a ready answer for everything. Been there. Done that. Didn't work out so well.
I want someone who loves the country, respects our institutions, and will stick with solid principles. He can hire advisers to help him deal with the specifics. The general stuff is far more important, and Cain is fine on that.
First, he exempted police and firefighters from his legislation.
Then, as he explained over and over again, his legislation simply LIMITED collectively bargaining to certain issues.
From HERE:
Public employee unions have already said they were prepared to pay more money for health insurance and pension benefits, but they have balked at having their collective bargain rights restrained. The measure affects public employee unions except for police and fire.
Under the legislation, unions will not be able to bargain for health and pension benefits, will be limited in what they can seek in pay raises and have such other provisions as automatic dues payment modified.
This is what Cain was referring to by saying unions should not be able to "hijack" collective bargaining.
We should not let the "conservative" media pick our candidates any more than we should let the MSM do so.
