When something bad for Obama happens, the MSM will gin up another Romney “controversy”... a Contra-versy if you will.

Squirrel!!

Last night, I flipped through TV channels mainly watching the news or Pawn Stars. twice, I came across ESPN2 — twice — and Obama was shown with female basketball players. There was a difference of an hour or so but he was shown twice. Sure, most people watching pro womens’ basketball will vote for him but he has the support of pop culture and these fringe networks that will prop him up as some sort of common guy. Meanwhile, the world is on fire and he is inept in almost every facet of his job.

The MSM has made it their mission to negate any momentum they perceive for Romney. And they likely have an entire floor of one building dedicated to the task. With this situation, no matter what kind of “good week” or favorable event (debates, crisis in the Middle East etc.) Romney has, the MSM can simply counter with a “leaked videotape” or a diversion of attention to a non-issue. When the MSM lacks such a mechanism on any given day they roll out a poll that indicates that “Romney isn’t able to get any traction” on this issue or in that state, or some other made up topic taken from a giant list of topics. This is all scripted, and don’t be surprised if Romney is unable to ever generate a large lead in the race. The only poll that matters is the one on Nov 6.
