The 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats were celebrated in the establishment MSM as the most intelligent generation ever!. They are now arguably that very establishment that praised them and they hold themselves and their ideological issue in even higher regard.

Their cadre who are employees of the MSM are ordered to ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!

MSM "fact checkers" are asked to do more to protect The One, they must become more open as flak chuckers.

Now here comes a blizzard of pseudo fact checking.

AP tried it this morning and they were mostly neutral (surprisingly). I expect to see a shift soon.

The problem still isn't what Romney said, it is how obummer acted and portrayed himself. He was almost literally Eastwood's empty chair.

Wow, how unusual. Shouldn’t he be having Holder file a lawsuit, like with how they brought Gallup into line?

Not just that, but the MSM has what? A 9% approval rating?

Who the heck really cares about “fact checking)? Or actually believes it?

Heh, Axelrod has been all over the place today trying to undo the damage that President Zero did to himself. Don’t think that it’s going to work this time.

The killer last night was Obama “You might want to move on to the next topic Jim.”

Every debate has moments that resonate in voters minds. That one is going to stick. Obama looking to the supposed ref to rescue him. The common thread in most voters comments to pollsters is “we want a leader who will show us how to get out of this mess”

Romney showed he is a leader last night while Obama showed he is not.

The Obama camp has nothing but failure to offer the voters so they are hoping to undercut Romney's sterling performance in the first debate by calling him a liar. Hardly original. They also know full well that MSNBC and 98% of the media are leftists who support Obama and his socialist agenda for bringing Americans to our collective knees all the while pretending to be 'fighting for the Middle Class'. Yeah, right.

Sadly, the leftmedia will be only too happy to attack Romney any way possible, most likely with lies. I fully expect some woman who was once a Bain employee to suddenly appear to accuse Romney of sexual harassment. Hey, it worked perfectly with Herman Cain didn't it? It will be a lie, a 'he said, she said' deal but the accusation will kill Romney's chances to defeat Obama by distracting the voters and allowing Obama to slip by with just enough electoral votes to win - and finish us off.

Of course I could be wrong (and hope and pray that I am).

That’s because there are no embarrassing sealed divorce records to leak to the public or any cases of being cited for tax evasion. Obama has to either sink or swim on his own, Ax...

In other words. The LEFTISTS need more time and help in thinking up LIES to counter the TRUTH that so devastated obama. ROMNEY wiped the floor with obama by exposing this fraud to the american people cutting right through the LIPSTICK ON A PIG portrayal by the MSM of obama. There will be no recovery for obama after this shallacking by Romney.

And they will do it.

Yes, they will. However, it will be much harder with reminders like this to let people believe their own eyes rather than the state-run media propaganda.

Smirk ....

Yeah, that'll work.

Gallup said that distrust of the media hit an all-time high this year, "with 60% saying they have little or no trust in the mass media to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly."

Considering that televising a debate is in theory a partisan neutral event; it is amazing that FOX news and Entertainment still stomped NBC and MSNBC combined.

So the public is leery of the left dominated media when all presenters should be equal.
