Well they are the “White House Press Corps” after all.

They did this for Bush didn’t they?

Of the journalist
Considering what he would do
Unasked
There is no reason to.”

Inspired by the “caveat emptor” principle of Roman law, which sounds a note of caution for potential buyers, media consumers should heed the unwritten warning, “Reader/Viewer/Listener beware.” And some Strong Criticism within the journalistic profession wouldn’t hurt either.

You do not have to bribe or twist the journalist.
But seeing what the swine will do
Unbribed, there is no reason to.

Romney knew exactly what they were up to and handled it well.

No media mention that this is the first US ambassasador assassinated since Adolph “Spike” Dubs during the Carter administration. The media is doing very well at keeping that from public perception.

I saw the video for this somewhere, but the actual interview that Hannity played on the radio was missing from the story.

It reminded me of when the Commnists began infiltrating all of our town hall meatings, and would place themselves at different strategic places and begin screaming at the speaker, one after another, to give the effect that there were so many that were protesting what was going on, it would shut down the event and nobody would protest because they would feel they were in the minority.

That is what this press conference sounded like.

There are no more reporters, only propagandists.

Instead of conspiring to trap Romney, these are the questions this sordid crew should have asked Obama:

Why were our embassies in the Middle East not on full alert and given extra security on 9/11? Why did it take you 16 hours to reject the two apologies from our Cairo embassy to the terrorists who were invading our territory and destroying our flag? What do you plan to do to bring the killers of our ambassador to justice?

Goebbels would be so proud of the leftist American media.

Since Romney answered all the questions so well, the leftist media will just put their questions in the news. We won’t hear Romney’s voice unless the media thinks it’s a “gaffe” just as they did with President GW Bush.

This story will not be reported by the MSM, so the vast majority of Obama’s supporters will never hear about it, so they can continue to say that they don’t believe in leftist media bias.

It is nominally a scandal for journalists to be secretly coordinating their questions. Because we need free and independent presses, not merely a free press.
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Wealth of nations, Book I, Ch 10
But learning that there is only one press rather than competitive presses is only nominally a scandal. After all, the presses have been “associated” since the middle of the Eighteenth Century. That is when the Associated Press was formed - and when a continuous 24/7 virtual “meeting” of journalists was established via “the wire."
