EXCLUSIVE: Open mic captures press coordinating questions for Romney “no matter who he calls on we’re covered”

By The Right Scoop

Before Romney issued his statement today, an open mic capture the press coordinating questions to ask Romney, with one saying “no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question”. I’ve transcribed it to the best of my ability but the audio is below for verification:

I’ve labeled one as the CBS News reporter as I believe it is ~~Nancy Cordes~~ who works for CBS News. If I’ve gotten that wrong I apologize and will correct.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: …pointing out that the Republicans… *unintelligible* …Obama….

CBS REPORTER: That’s the question.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: *unintelligible*

CBS REPORTER: Yeah that’s the question. I would just say do you regret your question.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Your question? Your statement?

CBS REPORTER: I mean your statement. Not even the tone, because then he can go off on…

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: And then if he does, if we can just follow up and say ‘but this morning your answer is continuing to sound…’ – *becomes unintelligble*

CBS REPORTER: You can’t say that..

**Later**

CBS REPORTER: I’m just trying to make sure that we’re just talking about, no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Do you stand by your statement or regret your statement?

UPDATE: Newsbusters says the the CBS News reporter is Jan Crawford and she was discussing this with the NPR reporter Ari Shapiro

      Romney should now feel free to ignore questions but answer whatever Message he wants to get out.
      
      These are not journalists they’re flacks for Obama, treat them as such.

Unless it’s just something somebody made up (if your roommate is working FOR the Obama campaign, why are they telling you– who it appears does not like Obama– about this subterfuge?) No offense Lisa but I ain’t buying it. Not saying you made it up, but….

      It is a sign of the communistic-socialist society that Obama is moving us toward where all press is owned by the dictator at large.
      
      Since you both have studied journalism, is there a lawsuit that can be filed against the media for lying, being bought and paid for by one political party, or no longer following our Constitutional rights of a “free press”? What do you suggest? We need action to be attached to our words.

  Proof positive that these people are Obamatons who do the will of Dear Leader and his media lackeys. They obviously got their daily memo and followed the instructions therein, to the letter. These people need to take their journalism degrees (if they have any), their journalist credentials, their notepads, and anything else they feel is an integral part of their so-called profession; pile them up on the White House steps…and BURN them. Then they can mindlessly chant their leader’s name as the vestiges of their so-called professional lives waft through the Washington D.C. air. Afterwards, they all can go to the closest sports bar and get blithering drunk because they are as much use inebriated as they are sober.

    remember when there was a rule that if a TV station gave free time to one candidate they had to do the same for the other? The way I count it, Romney is owed at least 48 hours of free TV time and that’s just for this month.

      Heh. The Fairness Doctrine. The Dems tried to push for it to be reinstituted, but that’s because they get their backsides kicked in the arena of ideas and they wanted to use it to censor their opposition, not to open up debate. They can’t deal with facts and they want only their points of view to be considered. I believe their points of view are very well covered by the MSM or LSM, if you will.
      - Red Blues
        
        TRUE!! – This is classic doublespeak – ‘Fairness’… right!!!
        
        Unfortunately, every time the LSM has tried to place a talk show on the radio, the ‘court of public opinion’ (or “the marketplace”) has decided not to vote (or “spend money”) in support of their product (“leftist propaganda”). They then try to ‘encourage’ (“enforced compliance through government regulations”) audiences to back their product so they can show a profit to their ‘owners’ (“political power brokers”) and keep ‘their jobs’ (“sucking at the teat of the elite and statists”).
        
        But instead, the citizens of this nation are subjected to more and more ‘objective journalism’ (“Presstitution”)…

        I thought Soros was a shrewd business man who was personally responsible for economic turmoil in Europe a few years back. He seems to give a great amount of his money to failed or floundering ventures, like Air America. He also backs organizations clamoring for the Fairness Doctrine to be reinstated. I would conclude that at least one or two (it could be more) present in the press room in the video benefit in some way from Mr. Soros’ funding. He’s a billionaire who obviously has mucho money to burn. This is a good source of information on one Mr. George Soros:
        
        http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=977
        
        He also has a god (with a small “g”) complex with megalomaniacal tendencies. A very dangerous person. He may be at least indirectly responsible for the deaths of many. He is also one of the bigger, if not the biggest, hypocrite on the face of the Earth. He is definitely no boon to mankind.

        Dig a little and find who mentored Soros (his “Boss”). It’s one of those names that triggers the chant of ” conspiracy nut, conspiracy nut..” from the sheep any time it is noted.

Fellow Conservatives and Independents. If you wanted a reason to get behind Romney during this election NOW IS THE TIME. This is the defining issue. We must stand firm behind the Romney/Ryan Campaign and fight back against this corruption.

  OMG like the Republicans are not corrupt too ! I hate anyone who actually thinks either one of these 2 or nothing but lying flip-flopping ASS kissers !
  - http://twitter.com/benbminnich Benjamin Minnich
    
    Glitter the issue is not that they are both corrupt, which is a statement that requires proof by the way, but that our media which is supposed to be the guardians of the Constitution and our rights against the government feel it necessary to slam Republicans while falling in line completely with this anti-Constitutional administration.
    
    So, are you for the Constitution or against it? Because right now it looks like you are against it, because you have to play the blame game back on Republicans as if they are somehow just as bad. Which is erroneous at best.
    
    So if you want to believe there is nothing you can do because they are all “corrupt” I suggest you pack your bags and move to another country. So those of us who still believe in the People as the strongest branch of this government can begin to rebuild this nation. So if you want to keep belching your ridiculous statements do not let the door hit you on your God-given backside as you depart. cheers.

        I know you folks believe stuff really deeply and all, but sometimes you may want to factcheck things for yourselves.

        Right. it’s just that 0bama never gets asked actual difficult questions. About 90% of the Washington press corps vote Democrat. They are on his side and they want him to succeed. That’s why being the press secrestary for a Democrat president is the easiest job in the world.

        Fact Checked & this is the antithesis of how a media should report to the people. Just imagine if Romney or Ryan put restraints on the Press as to what they were allowed to ask. It is the equivalent to a campaign Advertisement & Obama should have disclosed this info & paid for the time on TV!
        
        http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2012/08/21/white-house-sets-ground-rules-local-interviews/
        Worse still, at least for the White House, was that the reporters from local venues who got to ask questions made no bones about the fact that the interviews were scripted. “The president invited me to talk about sequestration,” NBC 7 San Diego’s reporter told her audience, Koffler notes, adding, “In the interview, she set Obama up with a perfectly pitched softball the president couldn’t have been more eager to take a swing at,” asking, ” “What do you want individual San Diegans to know about sequestration?”

        ” Just imagine if Romney or Ryan put restraints on the Press as to what they were allowed to ask….”

        http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/08/romney-prohibits-questions-on-akin-or-abortion-132985.html
        
        They already do this. The reason you dont know about it is the level of outrage on the other side about this never reaches the loud din it does with the right, because its simply to be expected. We All know they will manipulate interviews this way when they get desperate enough to avoid the subjects that they know will damage their franchise. Thats what happens when the truth isn’t on their side — and given there are alot of things romney needs to avoid, guarantees he will need to dissemble most of the time left in the campaign. They also know the lip service in ryan’s speech, saying “we will answer the hard questions” wasn’t a risk because it will also be dodged if reporters call them on that. Sounded effective though. The followers who heard that will blindly believe it to be true and never notice that romney/ryan’s answers never answer the questions – and any answers that he does give will more than likely be reversed later by his managers or contradict prior statements (which is why not giving clear answers is so necessary).
        
        These reporters are just attempting to get romney to answer a legit question and know from experience that he will use every dodge to avoid answering it – like he always does. Mitt painted himself into the “no apology” corner, so is forced to just double down on everything, or else risk losing support from his party’s supporters, who he knows dont like him and would ditch him quickly with no reservations.
        
        Gandalff69
        
        Your mistake was comparing the two as being the same. I case you haven’t been outside for a while, America is burning down. To limit questions to ecconomic & foreign policy is not even close to fabricating your own questions, announcing to said reporters that these are the only questions they may ask to stir up division between groups and political parties.
        Not sure you have purchased food without stamps or purchased fuel, tried to cloth your children without assistance but in the real world people of all parties are suffering. If you watch MSMBC or the other alphabet channels you are missing reality. USA as of Aug. 27 is now the highest most expensive. Country to do business in.

        Please tell me, if the press questions to Romney were ‘legit’, why did they have to collude to all ask the same question?
        
        That’s a question you can’t answer, because you’re a liberal troll.
        
        AmusedAgain
        
        Answer to your question: Romney (and Obama) only answer a small set of the questions reporters would like to ask. By “calling on” friendlier reporters, they get tossed slow-hanging-curves.
        
        Sometimes, they’ll call on a friendlier reporter who will ask something like, “What’s your take on what’s happening in the Middle East?” Romney will answer, “I am continuing to monitor the situation and I condemn the violence.”
        
        Then he’ll call on a “less friendly” reporter who will ask him something like, “Do you stand by your statement or regret your statement?”
        
        Rather than admit he was wrong, the candidate will say, “I already answered that question,” when, in fact, he really hasn’t.
        
        Reporters are allowed to “collude.” Banks are not.

        Without doubt the Pres Press Corps has become a propaganda arm of the left. Coverage of critical issues are superficial and occur only when they can’t avoid it. They are complicit in hiding or altering gov’t figures on unemployment, distribution of stimulus monies to Obummer bundlers and Union toads, etc. They have become as corrupt and criminally compliant as the old Communist Soviet Union media. And you moron, have yet to accept the hard reality the “fact checkers” was a brilliant play on words (like “jobs created or saved”) but have no relevance to the truth rather they now exist to spin whatever they can in favor of the Godhead of the Godless Party.. And Google? Don’t make us laugh!!

        Antistuff is right, there are articles critical of Obama on CNN, Newsweek, and MSNBC if you look for them. Rare and far between, and not picked up by other news sources like the Associated Press, but they are there. See for example “Obama’s War Crime” by Newsweek, “Barack Obama Knows His Way Around a Ballot” by the Chicago Tribune, and “Commentary: Obama and Bush Are Not So Far Apart” by CNN. MSNBC even did an excellent expose on Obama called “Barack Obama Revealed”. CNN in 2008 had a good one on Obama’s controversial history on the Born Alive bills. I agree with Antistuff. While the press does obviously lean left with the exception of FOX which is right, you can’t say it’s completely refused to cover Obama’s controversies. Most people just don’t look for them.

        The reason the Newsweek cover story got attention was BECAUSE it was unusual. If Newsweek had been trashing Romney no one would have noticed, because that’s business as usual for them.

        Has anyone ever considered the fact that the way the media gets it’s money is by sustaining viewership? And to sustain such, one must be hated to some extent? It was admitted by Howard Stern that his listeners that hated him were more valuable than the one’s who liked him. They also get their money in trade of favors legislatively for ads… I bet if newscasters and hosts could break their company’s NDA, you would find they believe opposite what they say, but as I said before, it’s a business. Distraction is the best way to keep a people enslaved and the machine rolling. Govt. using media is simply Govt. Paying for “ads” and what I mean by this goes as far to say that it may not come in direct form of cash payment, but legislation for people who hop to in media and negative consequences and investigations for those who don’t… Basically, if it smells funny, follow the money… Pretty simple, no?

        I’ve worked for two TV stations locally here in Tampa. I disagree that they, the “powers that be” are closet conservatives. In fact, I was pretty much a conservative voice crying in the wilderness. I’m glad I got laid off, I felt I was in the belly of a beast. (One station was PBS so I get it that they are liberals, the other station was NBC…Chris Matthews visited and everyone swooned, ugh). Anyway, I’m pretty independent now but a move to Panama is certainly starting to look attractive.

        Me too, I used to be a newspaper reporter in California. A conservative who “reported” neutrally, I had to endure the crowds around the t.v. on election night cheering on all the Democrats. The reporter who crossed the room to make sure I was “pro choice” before covering a pro life rally (I just didn’t answer.) The editorial writer who attacked my appointment as an editorial writer because I went to church (I was knocked for “not supporting the separation of church and state”!) They support a socialist administration because they are not just liberal, many of them ARE socialist and supporting liberal causes is why they put up with the lousy pay and long hours in the first place, they LIVE for the moments to bash the Romneys of the world.

        I don’t disagree that it happens, but I just find it incredible that someone in the media of all places would want their reporters to support the supposed “separation” of church and state. I wonder what they’d think if they had that same fake wall to tear down every time they opened their mouths.

        It is my contention that the Internet and Google give people just enough rope to hang themselves with. As a resource, it gives otherwise unintelligent and uninformed info just enough to sound like they have had an original thought, but so called fact checking is higly questionable. It still takes skill and dedication, but in this age of “just add water” solutions, such advice asking people to “fact check” is pearls before swine, because at best they will hit up 3 articles and are now an “expert”,
        
        mike ward
        
        ” …fact checking is higly questionable. It still takes skill and dedication,…”
        
        Its really not that hard to fact check emotionally driven statements made that are clearly wrong, according to transcripts or the text of a bill, etc that bi partisan sources will provide. This needs to be done because too many politicians have gotten used to getting away with emotional statements that paint the kind of picture they want to project when the truth becomes an annoyance.
        
        As things evolve, politicians and their handlers will brainstorm statements that can cleverly deliver the emotional messagess in an obtuse way that isn’t specific and amounts to being opinion. You cant fact check an opinion – (you can only check the details that they used to form it – which they wont want to engage with ).

        Well…, I just had a look at your http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog link, and decided to just randomly chose a spot along the 20 + minute “news conference” (randomely, mind you!), and I joined just as a reporter was asking the President about the tone of his campaign (actually she couched as the tone of the campaigns in general), and Obama took the time to refute the idea that his campaign is negative. He gave the following example: “e.g., no one has called Romney a Felon.” Well, Mr.s Pres. actually your campain did insinuate he was a felon. That’s a fact. And no one — not even the questioner — challanged him on that lie. Now, what’s frightening is the Orwellian use of history that this president and the media heap on us. He plays it both ways when it suits him, and nobody calls him on it, at least non one they’d let into one of the very, very few press conferences he holds twice a year. Come on, Antistuff, get your head out of the hole in the ground. Once O’s big Gov. is institutionalized, they’ll be coming for you, too. This is an unholy aliance between the media so powerful an idividual.

        When someone says a politician is either a criminal or a liar – and that politician knows that “liar” is the right choice – they will cleverly distract people’s attentions toward a falsehood in order to evade facing up the fact that they’re being a liar. Crying loudly about being called a criminal will only work to distract those with poor reading comprehension, those who surrender their intellect to partisan spinners, or those who appreciate the distraction made by their partisan guy and run with it, because they dont care if he lies. Romney was being called a liar – because thats what he did.

        Actually, the Obama campaign basically did call Romney a felon. Specifically they said something along the lines of he either lied to the American people, or he committed a felony.
        
        Funny thing is they were wrong on both counts.

        …the lack of a budget, and the total lack of interest in negotiating with Congress to pass one?
        
        listing all of them would take far more time than I’m willing to devote to this, but you get the picture.

        Fair and welcome comment, acknowledging so.
        
        I have no issue with the normal partisan “battles”, par for course and all. But things like yesterday’s events should not be partisan. I’m not a fan of GWBush and his admin, but I’m the first one to stand up and say that they were NOT to blame for the 9/11 attacks. I was working in Manhattan 11 years ago. So it’s very personal to me. The terrorists were to blame. Blame begins and ends with the terrorists. This is the same situation. The attackers of the Libyan consulate are to blame. Not frightened staff who sent out tweets (in Cairo), not President Obama, not the late Ambassador either.
        
        Such insinuations are careless, crass, dangerous, misguided (at best), and most importantly for Mr. Romney’s self-preservation as a nominee for President of the USA, – terrible politics that only inflame the most negative elements of his base. I’m not in the business of giving Mr. Romney political advice, but since this effects the entire Nation – that’s everyone in America btw, not just Republicans/Conservatives – I’m disgraced, disgusted and will spend the time calling it out.
        
        God Bless America and all innocents in the world.

        antistuff: 11 years ago GWB attended his intelligence briefings. The problem is he didn’t get all the information at the time. The one guy in the FBI who KNEW the attack was coming was discredited, harassed an ultimately quit. His information probably never reached Bush. Since 9/11 the intelligence agencies are (theoretically)more cooperative and more responsive to uncollated, potential terrorist threat information. I’d be willing to bet that had Obama attended his intelligence meetings over the last few weeks he might have been made aware of a potential problem (you know 11 years after 9/11 ON 9/11 coming up coupled with whatever chatter they had) and might have been motivated to take some action.
        
        http://twitter.com/antistuff Antistuff
        
        Following that logic, do you think only Obama has the authority to do something? Do you honestly believe the intel briefings said “attack about to happen in Benghazi” and only Obama’s absence caused inaction? Do you honestly believe every other intelligence personnel would sit on such information? Let’s be reasonable here and discuss.
        
        libtarded
        
        Obama has a pretty good history of taking authority when it suits his ends.
        
        * He took the “authority” to demand that religious institutions pay for things that are against their beliefs.
        * He took the “authority” to recess appoint his own Czars by declaring congress was “in recess” when it was not (being gaveled in and out by agreement of both parties).
        * He took the “authority” to target an American Citizen for killing outside the US (despite worrying so terrible about “enhanced interrogation” of non-citizens while running for office). Given the choice, I’d bet that citizen would rather have been waterboarded than blown up by predator drone… or put up in Gitmo or offered a trial in New York.
        * He took the “authority” to essentially bypass congress on the issue of illegal immigration and the “dream act”.
        
        AmusedAgain
        
        If President Obama did something illegal, there must be some reason that the GOP hasn’t impeached him. Could it be that he hasn’t done anything illegal, but that he has a constitutional responsibility to get his job done, in spite of the do-nothing Congress?
        
        You say he “forced” religious institutions to provide birth control. I say he protected women’s rights to get informed health care choices. Churches are exempt and always were. We’re talking about the hospitals and other profit making ventures that the Churches support. This is employment law, not religion. The churches are “relitagating” their failure to convince the flock on Sundays of the evilness of birth control. Under the guise of “religious freedom”, they want to take personal freedom away from women and their doctors.
        
        Recess appointments have been made-legally-since George Washington. Both Bushes made them. Are you disputing the authority of the President to make such appointments, especially when Congress has been exceptionally slow to allow confirmation hearings to go forward? The Constitution provides a way for the President to do his job, even when Congress doesn’t do theirs.
        
        As for an American Citizen being killed by a drone strike, hey–if you don’t like the heat, stay out of the kitchen. The “citizen” didn’t get the waterboarding choice because of his earlier choices. He was wanted-dead or alive-by Yemeni authorities. He advocated killing Americans without an order of Fatwa. I hope it’s clear that our government will take out those who participate in active armed attacks against the United States.
        
        On immigration, NO PRESIDENT has deported people at a faster rate. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/12/obamas-record-high-deportations-draw-hispanic-scorn/ Because the immigration courts were clogged with deportations, Obama de-prioritized certain classes of illegals, such as veterans, parents of U.S. citizen children, students and the elderly, in favor of deporting more undesirable illegals. It’s been estimated that simply to deport every illegal alien would cost $285 Billion. Congress hasn’t given him that much money to do it. So he announced his rational policy, and got political points from Hispanic VOTERS (not illegals) who understand it. All of this is legal, so quit bellyaching.

        So
        
        I honestly believe that Obama would rather be out campaigning than meet with the President of Israel just after Iran announces they have developed a cruise missle that will reach every part of Israel. I honestly believe that Obama would rather claim executive privilege than get to the bottom of ‘Fast and Furious’. I honestly believe that Obama promised to cut the national debt in half by his first term and failed miserably. I honestly believe that Obama promised his stimulus (first) would reduce unemployment to around 5% and we have been stuck at +8% since. I honestly believe that Obama promised he would “reset” relations with Russia when just the opposite has happened. I honestly believe Obama promised he would bring peace to the Middle East where obviously based on recent events, the opposite is true. I honestly believe that I could fill up this page with Obama’s broken promises. I honestly believe that Obama is way in over his head and it is far past time to give someone else a chance at solving our problems and I honestly believe that anyone that disagrees with that stance cares more about their personal interests than the best interests of the US.

        but you can easily argue that the opposition party has not proposed a meaningful platform or solution to pay down the debt or tackle the problems facing the US. False promises aside, it’s easy to sit here and say Obama made promises a year on the campaign in advance of stepping to a pile of shit that the previous administration left him and having to come to the realization that things must get worse before they can get better.
        
        Problems being fixed require money to be spent it’s simple economics. For instance if you’re an emergency highway wrecker clean up crew and you have a problem with one of your trucks (equipment) you use to clear the highways of wrecked 18 wheelers and it breaks down. You don’t ignore the problem and just throw the truck away and pray the rest of your trucks can handle the load. You spend the money to fix it to keep your company profitable. You can’t just cut/throw away -everything- and put a huge strain on the middle class completely crumpling it into the poor house to “fix” the multitude of problems facing Americans. The GOP’s platform would do just that. Cut -everything- in sight that it deems unnecessary to save America. GOP: fixing America by crushing Americans. That’s their platform quite to the point. If you can’t see that then get a magnifying glass out and go read the fine print kiddies.
        
        TerryOtt
        
        Sometimes, Jason, it takes LESS money being spent for “problems to be fixed”, an observation from my 70 years. Spending money you don’t have and have no prospects for getting, or spending that is misdirected, is fairly likely to make any problem worse. That’s something conservatives seem to recognize more than liberals do.

        Perhaps because our consulates and missions don’t have a standing order to “antagonize the angry mob and give them more reasons to attack.” From wikipedia, ”
        
        In an informal or social sense, diplomacy is the employment of tact to gain strategic advantage or to find mutually acceptable solutions to a common challenge, one set of tools being the phrasing of statements in a non-confrontational, or polite manner.”
        
        If you were confronted with an angry mob, would you:
        
        (a) Say, ““Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy.” And
        “We condemn the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.”
        
        or
        
        (b) Throw gasoline on the fire by saying, “We are OUTRAGED by your breach of our Sovereignty. Here are some gas canisters, grenades, and bullets for your trouble. And when our staff of a few hundred run out of bullets, your thousands can take us hostage.”

        Wow – my point went right over your head, and left skid marks on your forehead. My point was refuting the argument that the embassy had no knowledge of any unrest in the area, made by Antistuff.
        
        (Which I thought was blindingly obvious by my including “If they didn’t have fore-knowledge of unrest in the area…”)
        
        In any case, your entire comment reinforces the argument that they did in fact have fore-knowledge of unrest – so thank you for that.

        They did violate international law…what law was violated by this viedo. Their actions are considered an act of war and should be dealt with in such a manner. There willing actions of evil promoted by lack of intelligence by no means is excusable by a blasphemous movie. I remember a blasphemous movie “The Da Vinci Code” but I do not remember murder and
        may heim as Christians felt insulted by the movie. My ? is what will it take to bring the truth to the forefront that this is an act of war not reaction to an insult. Remember…ignore that man behind the curtain…..Auntie Emm…Toto….there’s no place like home…opps that was before Nov.’08

        Yes. Act of War.
        
        In Egypt, they breached our embassy grounds and took down our flag. Yes, an act of war. I am NOT apologizing for them. I am NOT sympathizing with them. I AM trying to get to your view on what should happen next…

        POP QUIZ: What’s your plan, Jennifer?
        
        But before you offer one, consider what you do if you’re in a building in a capital of a country where the government has a tenuous grip on power, there are hundreds/thousands of angry people outside your gates, and there are about 72,000,000 Muslims within the country.
        
        If you anger 1% of them, that’s 720,000 angry people.
        
        They live in a country where 91% are Muslim, and do not have a historical heritage with the kind of religious tolerance that lets us debate “Passion of the Christ”, “The Last Temptation of Christ”, “Da Vinci Code”, etc.
        
        Another piece of background: We weren’t always the country we are today. Read about D.W. Griffith’s The Birth of A Nation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birth_of_a_Nation), which was a silent film made just about 100 years ago that led to rioting and the rebirth of the KKK.
        
        I think that what the Embassy did was what was taught about 2000 years ago: “But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also” Matthew 5:39

        Antistuff, have you read the recent articles that show that Bush & his associates were well aware that something was going to happen & they did nothing. Nothing. Well, except Bush went to hide at his ranch & Cheney stayed in the hidey-hole at the White House. Bush’s response to this was that no one told him when & where; but he didn’t act to even TRY to find out the when & where. Very sad.

        First off, I think hindsight being what it is, all these years later, people are going back and rewriting the events of that day, and who’s to stop them? No proof, mind you, but it sells. With that said, I’ll play along…in an imaginary world what exactly do you propose Bush should have done? I suppose he could have closed all airports, train stations, public buildings, government buildings, national monuments, etc….but for how long? and with what consequence? NO ONE knew the date, the time or the place, except, of course, the terroroists. And my guess is, they weren’t talking.

        Apologizing to Islam for a Hollywood film that had nothing to do with politics while his Ambassador is being murdered, and you have the Gall to criticize Romney for saying he handled it wrong… Grow UP! You are not a child anymore! You do not need to be coddled by your Government! They are not your GOD! I do not stand for any President that undermines our Government for his own personal beliefs! We need someone who Believes in America not someone who has always hated America! The people that stand up for him baffle me. Why do people want someone who does not care or respect them. He just wants you dependent on him so you will vote for him. He hates people who want to take care of themselves and their neighbors through love and charity without using Government to get the abeyance. Government should be the last resort and a short time of dependence, not unemployment as your future Career.

        “You cannot stand a President that undermines our government for his own personal beliefs”
        So what you’re saying is that you won’t vote for Romney because Romney personal belief “Mormonism” is that women have no moral authority over their own body because his personal religious belief states so. His own personal religious belief states that marriage is only acceptable between a man and a woman and that is therefore what he wants the country to have.
        
        So i’m sorry but you can’t have your cake and eat it too. If anyone is going to be more guilty of that premise it’s Mitt.
        
        http://no-apologies-round2.blogspot.com/ AmericanborninCanada
        
        Mittens has not underminded our government with his personal beliefs. Last time I checked, the issue of abortion is still legal in the state of Mass., and as for Marriage being between 1 man and 1 woman, that is still legal in most states. Of course it should be the people to decide, as the people are the employers of the government- but it seems that although in some states the people have spoken, but the government has ignored them.
        Still, comparing mittens (and I’m not a fan of his either) personal beliefs of pro life and pro traditional marriage and dear leader’s anti American, muslim brotherhood loving aiding of terrorist groups is like comparing apples to hand grenades.

        That is all nice and the stuff of fluff and nonsense but Obama is to blame and should be held accountable along with his entire administration. IT’S HIS JOB TO KNOW. Furthermore check the date…YA KNOW 9/11! Yeah that one. There was no security at that embassy. NONE! There should of been extra security but instead there was none…absolutely none. I will let that sink in.

        AmusedAgain
        
        You hold Obama accountable for the storming of the embassies. Do you hold Bush responsible for 9/11?
        
        You hold Obama responsible for four deaths in Yemen. Embassies aren’t forts or military installations. They are diplomatic missions that primarily rely on the host governments for security.
        
        So you also hold Reagan responsible for the 241 deaths in 1983 in Lebanon–soldiers… And Clinton responsible for the 17 deaths in Yemen –sailors–when the USS Cole was attacked.

      Just re-read the Constitution. As private citizens, journalists have no constitutional guardianship responsibility; please cite your Section/Paragraph. As far as freedom of the press, you have the same rights, as does Fox News. These two reporters, by the way, have the right to assemble (See First Amendment).
      
      “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
      
      Two reporters. Assembling. Exercising freedom of speech. They are not plotting to deny you any rights. They’re agreeing to ask a specific question. I see no legal problem here.
      
      Romney might not like the question. He might not answer the question. You might not like his answer.

    Good job, glitter; you went for the 2nd line of defense for liberals which is obfuscation. Usually, the left leads with a personal attack on either the person presenting the issue or involved in the issue. So I guess rather than attack Romney or the editorial staff of this site you just get right to 2. (These tactics are taught in Journalism 101 in schools across the country and as we can see the group depicted above is still relying on study groups rather than their own research when it comes to test taking. That way the message is consistent and harmonious.)

    The point is, this is two reporters from two different outlets that are coordinating to try and make Romney look bad. NOT, I repeat, NOT to delve into real policy issues, NOT even to challenge him on what he would do if he were President. An American ambassador has just been murdered, and all these two can think to do is catch Romney in some sort of “gotcha”.

  If Romney gets voted into the house the world should be over. He does not know what he is talking about. He is for the rich people only and does not know how to be a leader. We put Obama in the Whitehouse 4 years ago for a reason and what he was thrown into was a mess already. It took longer than that to get it into the mess it is in. He may work it out with another 4 year term. Not completely, but maybe a good start. Just wait till you have to have your own personal health insurance at your cost and your family goes without healthcare in a time of need. Then you may wish you had done differently, when it is too late. Obama all the way.
  - Howzah123
    
    You’re just spewing cliche talking points like a robot/cult member. Obama’s “recovery” was worse than the recession. The Romney/Ryan Plan has been shown to be revenue neutral and a plan that will spur economic growth. See for yourself here: http://www.princeton.edu/ceps/workingpapers/228rosen.pdf
    
    It will put us on a path to prosperity. Obama has borrowed/printed/spent 6 trillion within 4 years and the result is 19% Real Unemployment. That’s not a “good start”.
    
    Here are the facts. Pay attention:
    
    The share of Americans who’ve been out of work a long time — now at 42% of the unemployed — is the highest since the Great Depression (source: Labor Department).
    • The proportion of the civilian working-age population actually working, at 58%, is the smallest since the Carter era (Labor Department).
    • Growth in nonfarm payroll jobs since the recovery began in June 2009 is the slowest of any comparable recovery since World War II (Hoover Institution).
    • The rate of new business startups — the engine of job growth — has plunged to an all-time low of 7.87% of all businesses (Census Bureau).
    • 3 in 10 young adults can’t find jobs and live with their parents, highest since the 1950s (Pew Research).
    • 54% of bachelor’s degree-holders under the age of 25 are jobless or underemployed, the highest share in decades (Northeastern University).
    • Black teen unemployment, now at 37%, is near Depression-era highs (Labor Department).
    • Almost 1 in 6 Americans are now poor — the highest ratio in 30 years — and the total number of poor, at 49.1 million, is the largest on record (Census).
    • The share of Hispanics in poverty has topped that of blacks for the first time, 28.2% to 25.4% (Census).
    • The number of Americans on food stamps — 45 million recipients, or 1 in 7 residents — also is the highest on record (Congressional Budget Office).
    • Total government dependency — defined as the share of Americans receiving one or more federal benefit payments — is now at 47%, highest ever (Hoover).
    • The share of Americans paying no income tax, at 49.5%, is the highest ever (Heritage Foundation, IRS).
    • The national homeownership rate, now at 65.4%, is the lowest in 15 years (Census).
    • The 30-point gap between black and white Americans who own their own homes is the widest in two decades and one of the widest on record (Census).
    • Federal spending, now at 23.4% of GDP, is the highest since WWII (CBO).
    • Excluding defense and interest payments, spending is the highest in American history, at 17.6% of the economy (First Trust Economics).
    • The federal debt, at 69% of GDP, is the highest since just after WWII (CBO).
    • The U.S. budget deficit, now at 9.5% of the economy, is the highest since WWII (CBO).
    • U.S. Treasury debt has been downgraded for the first time in history, meaning the U.S. government no longer ranks among risk-free borrowers (S&P).

    Let us face the facts…businesses are scared..they are deciding they will take a measley $2000.00 fine in leu of their $8,000-$10,000 contributions for health care supplied to thier workers so that said worker can now have a State Voucher to recieve Medical services that will basically be Medicaid.The hijacking of 1/7 th of the economy will be devastating beyond any ones predictions. The businesses are also not hiring and if they do it is part time with out benefits. I can say it has been a great start to a socialized society there is just one consideration “Who will pay for it all” ? Lisa Harvey Good tell me what influences your support of Obama? My home value has dropped so dramatically, my net worth is down, I have been unemployed for 4 years..I am an Optician one of my BFs is a Pharmacists who is pushing 4 1/2 years. Both of these professions are in the Medical Industry and we are aproaching the 2014 full implemetation of the “Obama Care”. I can attest to the robbing from Medicare to prop this fiasco up…I cared for my Father n law for the past two years, he was a stroke survior (’09) …over the course of his last years he had been to the hospital a couple of times, however in Jan I took him to his GP thinking he had another prostate bladder infection. We were told he couldn’t go to the hospital as he did not meet Medicares requirements. I asked about his excureatiing pain ? I was told No. Two days later I had EMTs take him to the Hospital…told No..he did not meet Medicares requirements. Keep in mind these are people who took an oath to ” DO NO HARM” I could see it in their eyes, their emphatic look as they tried to comfort him and answer my desperate ? They shot him up with pain killers and loaded him into an ambulance…I called hospice the next AM. The first sales nurse did nothing other than drive away in her Mercedes and the Angelic AM nurse called for another ambulance as it was so clear he was suffering. He was in ICU for ten days and transfered to a rehab….all could have been avoided!!!!!!Thank you Obama !! I ask you to explain what you see that deserves another 4 years as I understand the 716 billion $ he appropiated away from Medicare is for old people who payed for it over the decades they labored…Grandma n Paw. We can weed them out as it is double $ the USA is saving…Medicare/Social Security. Hey I do not know how old this crowd is but I am The last of the Boomers…I need to get back to work cause I’ll be damned if I will let them Rule my health care decisions. I see a lot of healthcare possibly going underground as supply and demand will be more than tested…ask Canada, England and France.

    Yes, the good old fashion capitalist way.

      Agreed, but there is more we can do. Write letters to the editor (if there’s a newspaper left in your town) post comments on the MSM websites (if they haven’t shut them down), and get the word out to the ignorant in any way we can.
      
      Finally, consider boycotting their advertisers. Write letters or emails to the companies that sponsor them. Do to them what the left routinely does to conservatives. No more Mr. Nice Guy.
    - bowman2123
      
      I agree. There was a study done, where they asked people different national and foreign policy questions and filtered the score based on how they get their new.
      
      They found that people who watched only MSNBC actually were less informed than people who did not regularly follow the news. The same was true of viewers who only watched FOX — they actually did the worst in this study of anyone — people who only watch FOX news are really the least informed people in America.
      
      Listeners of NPR did the best. Listeners of talk radio were better informed, but not more so than people who only watched the Daily Show.

        Questions:
        Who funded the study?
        What was their methodology?
        Don’t know or not will to share?
        
        A quick backward search through the link provided for authors cited and organizations involved, reveals that Fairleigh Dickinson University’s (FDU.ORG) “Public Mind” project provided the research and data.
        One of the individuals mentioned as a political scientist and poll analyst in the aforementioned study group, Dan Cassino, also has a blog on the Huffington Post.

  So let me get this straight….Romney faulted the embassy staff in Egypt for apologizing to the Egyptians – and undermining principles written into our Constitution – when it was the Libyans who killed 3 Americans, in an Embassy in Libya, over 785 miles away and hours apart.

  The fact that you formed an opinion before (without ever?) learning the facts is not surprising. The Liberal elitists, like Obama, pride themselves on being so much smarter than everyone else, and they already know everything before the events even happen.
  
  I don’t blame you. It’s the brainwashing you received that you can get through life with a pocket full of talking points and ready-made opinions that, truth be told, are NOT a “one size fits all.”

  “The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”

Seriously, if he were breaking the law don’t you think the IRS would have him in jail by now? There is NO pending litigation, NO pending charges, NOTHING pending regarding his tax returns!! You have GOT to start focusing on more important things! Try focusing on what OBAMA IS DOING WITH OUR MONEY!! There is NO doubt that he doesn’t know how to run a business or balance a budget!! Why is this so hard to understand???? Not to mention he has CONTINUALLY apologized on OUR behalf over the past 4 years! You’re really okay with that????

  “Shameful that Mitt won’t be more forthcoming, like with his tax returns.”
  
  Romney has released all the tax returns that are required by law. Anything else is nobody’s business. But if you want to start the ball rolling, why don’t you release 10 years of your tax returns publicly? Why don’t you ask Harry Reid to release his tax returns?
  
  You think this non-issue is shameful? Well even more shameful is how Obama isn’t forthcoming with his college transcripts (sealed), his medical records (sealed), why he and Michelle both had their law licenses revoked (also sealed), the country of origin of the passport he used for his trip to Pakistan as an 18-year old (it wasn’t a US passport), his connections to Tony Rezko, Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers and Louis Farakhan, the documents that he buttoned up under “executive privilege” relating to the failed Fast and Furious operation, etc., etc., I could go on, but you get the picture.

And when someone says you can’t say that later on, it gives a strong hint to me as to bias as to what the other person said.

Given that Romney rarely makes himself available to the press, don’t you think it makes sense that reporters would cooperate to get questions in front of Romney? Are you offended because the reporters are not getting advance clearance from Romney to ask questions?

Perhaps you might think about making your posts a little more clear because I have no clue why you think it’s revelatory that the press is having trouble getting Romney to answer anything.
- kong1967
  
  Obama is the President and he doesn’t make himself available to the press. He’s on the job….err….is he really? No, he can’t even find the time to meet with Netanyahu because of scheduling conflicts. What scheduling? He isn’t doing anything but campaigning!! His campaign stops take precedence over REAL WORL PROBLEMS!!
  
  The problem with the press is they coordinate with each other in order to have a united theme against or for someone. Anti-Romney and pro-Obama. The media is used to manipulate the public and it is more effective when you have multiple media outlets pounding home the same message. If you don’t think the media is trying to manipulate public opinion then you’re in the dark.

        The problem is not laying blame at the feet of Obama. It’s the naivety of the foreign policy we current operate under. Since you said I support rapists let’s try this… Let’s say there is a big party at a frat house. At the party they are serving underage girls drugs and alcohol on a regular basis. Every time the day after a party someone always says, hey all this underage drinking and drug taking is going to get one of those girls raped one of these days. They all reply NAHHH! No it’s not anything to worry about, don’t worry so much we all know each other! Then a few weeks later one of those girls is raped. Do I blame the guy who raped her? Yes. Do I also blame the rest of the people in the house for creating an environment where the girls weren’t safe? Also yes.

      When you attacked Romney the way you did without having any sense of what you were saying apparently and then come back with a statement saying you aren’t blaming America or those who fight terrorism, you are talking out of both sides of your mouth – right?
      
      If you are looking for someone to blame, you might want to revisit Obama’s bragging about killing Osama Bin Laden and the fact that the DNC made mention of this event 21 times during the convention and then maybe factor in Hillary’s comments about how it was so easy to kill Kadifi while she laughed and cackled about it.
      
      Given the fact that the terrorists who went over the wall at the Embassy chanted
      ‘We have a billion Osamas – Obama’ – what does that make you think? Do you think these people were likely supporters of Kadafi? That’s the rumour.
      
      So we have incompetent politicians who head a failed foreign policy who repeatedly spiked the football in relation to killing two muslim leaders. Do you think the Muslims don’t watch our media?
      
      Yet, what did the media and Obama do. The first thing they did was blame Romney. Scr*w the media and anyone who can’t see the forest for the trees in regards to the total mess in the middle east which has been funded and created by Obama and his administration.

  Unfortunately Doug, it’s NOT a question of just this one case – you know?
  
  The media abandoned something called journalistic ethics a long time ago.
  
  They are now just democrats posing as journalists who ask questions en masse in order to try to gain advantage for the Democrats they represent. They are literally a branch of the Democrat Party and can not be trusted to ask the same questions of candidates of both parties. Right?
  
  A typical question for Obama is very much like ‘what’s your favorite fruit or basetball team?’ The questions posed to Republicans are never softball questions at all but an attempt to trap and diminish.

    Questions such as this one, where it is obvious to me from the lady’s voice is full of disdain, trying to get Romney to walk back something and answer something in the way she desires? Far from questions that would let the viewers decide, they want to try to shape the news to their best liberal advantage, to propagandize the masses in America who are all too gullible to the liberal slant ably presented in their newscasting. Communists are big believers in propagandizing people.

  “Bias” implies there is some premise of objectiveness in the US media. There is none. It is simply propaganda.
  
  Propaganda is effective because it removes the guilt of selfishness and other wrong choices. It makes people feel good about hating others instead.

    Wrong, and you don’t know the truth because of your media. Try this on for size. I’ll give you some FACTS that your media lies about.
    
    Some people have short memories…..
    DO YOU REMEMBER JANUARY 3, 2007?
    
    I’ve been saying this for years, but this email probably explains it
    better and more clearly. This is NOT a political message, but rather
    a clarification to remind us all of the correct facts.
    
    Remember that on October 9, 2007, 11 months before our “economic
    crisis” occurred (that was actually created), the Dow hit its highest
    point ever, closing at 14,164.53 and reaching 14,198.10 intra-day
    level 2 days later. Unemployment was steady at 4.7%. But things were
    already being put in place to create the havoc
    we’ve all been experiencing since then. And it all started, as this email explains,
    on January 3, 2007. –LFL
    
    I’m sending this to each of you regardless of your party preferences
    because I believe it is something you may not have considered.
    
    This tells the story, why Bush was so “bad” at the end of his term.
    
    Don’t just skim over this, it’s not very long, read it slowly and let
    it sink in. If in doubt, check it out!!!
    
    The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was
    actually January 3rd 2007, which was the day the Democrats took over
    the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the
    110th Congress.
    
    The Democrat Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the
    first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
    
    For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy
    that everything is “Bush’s Fault”, think about this: January 3rd, 2007
    was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress.
    
    At the time:
    The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
    The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
    The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
    George Bush’s Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
    
    Remember the day…
    January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House
    Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate
    Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months
    later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL
    SERVICES!
    
    Unemployment… to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping
    5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie
    Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
    
    Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie – starting in
    2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.
    
    And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie
    Mac? OBAMA And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA
    and the Democrat Congress.
    
    So when someone tries to blame Bush. REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007….
    THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!”
    
    Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and
    the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.
    
    Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 &
    2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.
    
    In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused
    them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough
    on spending increases.
    
    For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush
    entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running
    until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a
    massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.
    
    And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that
    very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he
    signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
    
    If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the
    last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five
    years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After
    that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that
    includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
    
    If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a
    nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted
    for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since
    January 20th.

    Here is the text:
    
    “The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”

When was the last time any reporter asked Obama a tough question, and got to follow up on the answer? Never ! He has never been questioned on anything he’s done. Most of the time when he has a press conference, he doesn’t even take any questions afterwards. His speeches are read from a teleprompter, written by someone else. He has no thought processes of his own, he is a puppet that speaks, like a ventrilaquist doll. If the media went after Obama the way they went after Bush, Obama never would have won the election. He has no experience, in business, in foreign affairs, or in life. He is a product of a socialist upbringing, and has never accomplished anything on his own. That’s why he won’t release his college records. And if the press ever fact checked anything he says, they would find he lies on 90% of everything that comes out of his mouth. Compare what he says in speeches to his actual actions. He says what the public wants to hear , but does the exact opposite. And why half this country can’t see this is beyond me!

When the media is too busy blowing Obama to ask him a serious question or to challenge him on anything beyond how his golf game or how well he did playing basketball at lunch, this goes to show that the ones trying to say there is no bias in their reporting are full of squishy brown stuff. Anyone that can not see that are either deaf and stupid or just as effed up as the reporters are.

  They don’t have to like him, they are doing their jobs. I for one wish the media was tougher on everyone. Instead they are worried about landing the “next” interview, and so are softies on the current one. Fact of life. This isn’t a right/left issue. It’s an issue of corporate media. We get distracted by the right/left perceived biases, but it’s more an issue of an absent media and a media that is totally manipulated by politicians. It should be the other way around….the Republic and the citizenry will be the better for it.

When you have a guy who rarely speaks to the media they have to work together to pry anything out of him. This has more to do with Romney just not giving anyone access than anything. This happens at all levels of media. Even all the right wing bloggers met with Rove and the White House when Bush was in office. Stop looking for a conspiracy every time the wind blows.

Warning, words have consequences – even those here that are banal.

Netanyahu/Israel will bomb Iran between Oct. 20 and Jan 7 2013, depending on the outcome of the US election.

If it looks like Obama will be reelected Israel will act before election day. If Romney, they’ll wait until Obama is packing. Netanyahu preys on US division and weakness.

You (those here yahooing Romney’s criticism of Obama) are feeding the idea that the US is weak and divided, because a little less than half of the electorate rejoices at the idea of our leader’s failure.

Yet while condoning Israeli actions, the US will be sucked into a war of unprecedented proportions. If your wish is the Caliyuga – it’s here boys and girls. This is it, the beginning of Armageddon.

I don’t follow Mitt Romney’s religious beliefs, nor know of it’s myth re: the end of times, but clearly those of you who believe in the “Rapture” will – happily? – live to see the Judgement day.

Want a conspiracy theory: Israel is behind the 4 assassinations at the Embassy in Libya, with the purpose of obliging Obama to initiate retaliation, which will preempt and support Israel’s planned attack on Iran. Romney is simply acting like a puppet – who’s strings are being pulled by Netanyahu, playing right into their final goal.

Not surprised at all/sadly though a large number of voters will never even be made aware of this. That is still the challenge as not all are as atuned or even think of it frankly.

Amazingly irresponsible. The high school level media focuses on Romney on his appropriate and well thought out criticism of the State Dept apology statement rather than the fact the 4 State Dept employees were murdered by Islamic Terrorists. Just amazing, but maybe not so amazing.

I once e-mailed a reporter at our local, highly liberal, Denver Post. I called him out on a liberal spin he put on what was supposed to be a news story about the 2010 midterms. We went back and forth, and he finally told me, via e-mail, that he agreed 100% with my comment, but that he sometimes gets his “marching orders” from the editors on how to spin stories. True fact.

I also had the CFO of the same paper admit their bias (I knew him), in fact he laughed about how absurd it is.

Now I understand this is only one data point and anecdotal, but I have liberals here in Denver who constantly proclaim there is no media bias and it’s all in our heads.

Hell, even SNL made fun of the pro-Obama media bias back during the campaign. They would ask Hillary biting political questions, not let her finish, then ask Obama “How do you feel?” It was hilarious.

Anyone who doesn’t see the absurd media protection Obama gets is lying to themselves.

I did not hear the question in fact you could not understand anything that was being said …
David Weiss

Let’s keep it civil. As proof that the media is biased, you can just Google “media bias” and find that many in the mainstream media have an admitted bias toward the Democrats. During the 2000 election, when the coverage on ABC was showing states as they were determined to go either “blue” or “red”, when the anchor said “We got another one!” it was a telling statement. That he didn’t read if off the teleprompter (it was impromptu speech) showed his true colors – he was hoping for a Gore victory.

Our media should be questioning everything and everyone equally. They have repeatedly ignored the conflict of interest in Kagan voting for Obamacare, yet they spent how many days pushing the “fake, but accurate” falsified Bush memo before the 2004 election?

I don’t mind if they take Republicans to task for following the same missteps of the previous administrations, or grow the scope of government beyond its Constitutional limits. I just ask for a fair and balanced treatment of ALL politicians. When Whites are denied their vote, it is just as heinous as when Blacks were denied their votes. We should all be treated fairly, and treat each other as we wish to be treated.

As for the “Tea Party promises”, the Tea Party isn’t a majority party. They don’t have a candidate in the election. As an off-shoot of the Republican Party (those frustrated by an ever-growing Federal Government), they represent a segment of the GOP that wants to lower the scope, size, and intrusiveness of the Federal Government. They are for some of the same values as Democrats (true Tea Party members aren’t for the Federal Government having a position on the medical decisions of a woman, since that isn’t a Constitutionally-granted power).

The fact that the mainstream media works in concert with the White House to position questions differently for different candidates, and passes their stories through the White House should be a GRAVE concern for all Americans. When the Executive Branch controls the media, we’re one step from calling the press “Pravda.”

True Patriots love our Country, and will always want her to be the best in the World. Any effort which subverts our place in the World will be seen negatively.

I’m sorry for the Democrats. I had hoped (but feared otherwise) that this President would show that skin color doesn’t make the man, and that the Presidency could go to any man or woman without fear of the consequences. My fear is that now people will not trust minorities or women in positions of such power, fearful of what “hidden agenda” they might possess. I wish we could trust our leaders to do what’s right, even if it was a difficult pill to swallow (such as cutting Federal spending during a recession). The fact that we’ve run trillion-dollar deficits in a down economy has caused a much larger problem now. With a credit-rating cut, it negatively affects our ability to finance debt, which negatively affects our ability to dig out from the hole we’ve created.

Even worse, in a time of war, we’ve taken to fighting with each other, rather than our common enemy. Imagine if the Republicans had blocked a Declaration of War against Germany in 1941, claiming that they hadn’t attacked us?

There’s a time for partisan bickering, and right now, we have to pull together and restore America. Without name calling, without disrespecting each other, and with a “free press” that will not bury stories for political gain.

Which is worse? The GOP breaking into a DNC office to steal their political plans, or an Attorney General that knowingly allows weapons to fall into the hands of known criminals to be used to kill Federal agents? If we were willing to impeach Nixon for the cover-up of Watergate, why are we not willing to remove an Attorney General who knew (or should have known) that this would lead to a death? Where is the accountability?

The media made a big deal of Bush’s past drinking and drug use, but gave Obama a free pass on his past with cocaine. Why?

We just want an even playing field. And some civility.
- http://twitter.com/antistuff Antistuff
  
  Thoughtful post. One question though, how can you say they give Obama a free pass on these things when almost everyone knows these things – fast/furious, Obama drug use as youngster? You didn’t find that out on your own, you found out via media sources. Don’t you see the dichotomy there? Or do you not count conservative leaning or at-least, perceived conservative leaning news as MSM? Last I checked the biggest most watched 24/7 news channel was over-the-top conservative.

So they want to prevent slippery Mitt from avoiding the question, as he does with every tough question that comes up (what programs he would cut, what he would do about Syria, where the money would come from to pay for his tax cuts for the rich, etc.). I like it when the press forces politicians to answer questions.

Sounds like you just want them to toss him softballs.

  Are you suggesting Mitt should go on “hip hop” radio shows and talk about football, or maybe have Vanity Fair write a story and submit it to Mitt for approval before released, or maybe do softball interviews with Entertainment Weekly? Those kinds of “softballs?”

  Avoiding the question? He has already answered your questions. Just because they are still talking points doesn’t mean that he has not answered them. He answered the programs question by stating his fiscal policy. He answered the Syria question by stating his foreign policy. He answered the money question by stating his economic policy. Those among us with a brain can translate what that means. Those who still ask the questions are trying to trap him and twist his words. I can tell you Obama’s policies in one word…Socialism.

    His “fiscal policy” and “foreign policy” are deliberately vague. He refuses to get specific, because he doesn’t have the balls to piss off either the moderates in the GOP or you right-wing loons.

  Obama’s intelligence is to intelligent people what illegal aliens are to the people who went through the legal channels to get here.

tushdi

This just confirms how corrupt the media is. The media is no longer interested in telling the truth about President Obama’s failures. The media act like they are President Obama’s lap dogs. It is just too bad they can’t be sued for media malpractice for the great harm they are doing to our Nation by covering up for President Obama’s economic and diplomatic failures.

President Obama’s deficit spending, crony capitalism and energy policies have led to gas prices going sky high, 16 trillion dollars in debt, a real unemployment rate of 12%, real income going down by $4000/year, etc. etc. Yet the you hear nothing about this from President Obama’s lap dog media. Than there is the fact after the Arab Spring, the Middle East is now dominated by extremist Muslims who are rioting and murdering our diplomats, shouting “Obama, we are here to sacrifice for Osama” and “We are all Osama bin Laden,” while ripping down and burning the American flag. Than there is President Obama’s refusal to meet with Netenyhu about the fact Iran is about to get the Nukes they want and what is Obama going to do about it?

So while all this is going on, President Obama is at another fund raiser in Las Vegas. I just know that the media would be raising hell if it was President Bush going to a fund raiser in the midst of the economy tanking, the Middle East blowing up and Iran about to get nukes.

Laughable that anyone trusts the mainstream media for anything anymore. Objectivity in journalism died long ago. One can’t even watch local crime or weather reports anymore without wondering about possible biases. Internet-based consensus journalism which has sites catering to most political persuasions is the future of the news biz. Dinosaur media has only libs trusting establishments like NYTimes, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR, etc… And only conservatives trusting outlets like Fox and TalkRadio. Independents must sort through the noise on both sides and try to come to their own conclusions. At the moment, the MSM makes a whole hell of a lot of noise for the libs, so getting a balanced picture is damn near impossible.

As our ambassador to Libya was having the life suffocated out of him, this is what the President said:

“The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”

This is a foreign policy failure and an incident of monumental stupidity.

What is probably most interesting, and missing entirely here, is that “coordinating” a primary focus question to get at the heart of the matter is not unusual, nor should it surprise anyone. To assume it’s a “conspiracy” or something, over ONE question that they all agree requires a straight answer seems to require the premise that reporters remain absolutely silent, absolutely independent of all other reporters and absolutely at the mercy of the individual that will call on reporters for questions…which may be only one question. That would not be a very effective “Press”.

The Obama Administration and the corrupt MSM will not be allowed to define American Values for our society. They won’t be allowed to create a narrative through their questioning, not the answers during press conferences. All they try to do is plant the seeds through the way they frame the questions and let it grow in the minds of the collective.

As far as I’m concerned the Obama Administration is the political and moral equivalent to the Church of Scientology. Through manipulation our country is being turned into a cult. When we have journalists openly collaborating and scheming on a hot mic, it’s Orwellian. It scares the hell out of me. The media is supposed to protect us from Government. Not collaborate with it to deceive us. This is deception. It’s criminal. Those aren’t journalists you hear speaking. They are liberal activists.

Every private citizen has a right to FREE SPEECH. Regardless how much you disagree with that person, HE HAS THAT RIGHT. The United States should never apologize for that to the world. Ever. And I also support Romney’s RIGHT as a private citizen and Presidential nominee to criticize the president after he apologizes to terrorists.

For the first time in my adult life I am ashamed to be an American. My President apologizes as my countrymen are murdered by thugs, as my flag is torn down on sovereign American soil and BURNED, and a black Al Qaeda like flag praising Muhammad as the only true God takes it place.

We must not let this stand. Now is the time to get behind Romney/Ryan. To stand firm behind the only adult in the room who is tying to lead and standing up for our country. Mitt Romney. Get the word out. Donate to his campaign. DO NOT SIT SILENT. Vote in November.

Thanks for the prophecy. By your statement, “…those of you who believe…”, I would suggest that you find a Bible thumping Christian and get right with God. However, based on your statement of “with the purpose of obliging Obama to initiate retaliation” you are completely clueless about the current administration’s lack of intestinal fortitude. He wouldn’t go anywhere near Syria unless they had a good golf course.

We are not dividing the nation and showing that it is weak. We have a commander-in-chief who bows to other nations. THAT shows weakness. I hope that Netanyahu waits so that we can show the world and God that we stand with His chosen people.

The media are more interested in the scoop or the headline than the substance – left OR right wing. Even blogs. However, it was opportunistic of Mitt Romney to jump on this before they even knew the details of what happened, exactly.

Secondly, how many of you have watched the trailer that has these Islamic Fundamentalists up in arms? Go watch it… I guarantee that every evangelical in the country would be up in arms about it if it was the reverse. The difference is violence.

Many Libyans are not that educated and have easy access to weapons of war. If we were in the same situation here in the US we would see the same types of violence. We are not better than them… we just have a better police force and more educated people. We have had incidents of major domestic terror attacks starting with the bombing in Oklahoma and others that weren’t even influenced by Islam. They do not have the corner on violence.
- FlyDiesel
  
  Perhaps the most absurd comparison of Christians to militant Islamists I’ve ever heard. Indeed we hear and see far worse on a continuing basis towards Christians. We have had high-value productions of anti-Christian messages, not just third-raters like this. How about “The Life of Brian”, or “The Last Temptation of Christ”? Jesus makes routine comic appearances in “Family Guy”. He is mocked on a weekly, if not daily, basis.
  - stonedoubt
    
    Militant Islamists that have seen war waged for more than a half generation in recent memory and generations before that have seen the same. However, you point out the things that are done to provoke Christian anger… what separates us from them is education and an open society. I think that someone who calls themselves a Christian while refusing to walk in another mans shoes isn’t a true Christian… but a warmongering fundamentalist who would condone actions that break the greatest rule. The Golden Rule: “You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against your kinsfolk. Love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD.”
    - Caleb Barnett

      Ah hypocrisy, Where would we be without it?
      
      Are you really telling Christians how they should be Christians, meanwhile denying that Muslims are doing what the Koran tells them to do.
      
      It’s very interesting how quickly you will condemn a Christian for how you perceive a Christian to be, but make excuses for murder condoned by another religions holy book.
      
      Kinsfolk are fellow believers in Christ, all others you treat as you would want to be treated. If others do not respond in like ways the Lord will judge them. If someone means to murder you you do not stand and let him, you defend yourself. To the death if need be.
      
      Education is not what separates us from the savages. There are many uneducated people who would never raise their hand against innocent people. On the other hand there are many educated people who wouldn’t bat an eye at murdering another.
      
      Faith in God is what makes us different from the savages, our Lord and Savior who has given us His word to obey and live by. As the USA becomes more atheist it has become more violent. But that is different from the Koran, it instructs it’s follows to kill in the name of Allah anyone who does not adhere to it’s teaching.
      - stonedoubt
        
        Yeah… pretty sure that Christianity has no blood on it’s hands whatsoever… right?

Who is the hypocrite?

        Yes, but we try not to make up our own facts. Everything you have said is opinion and generalization. Everything I have said is either known or easily verified. I know a lot about history, I realize you don’t have to work for your welfare check anymore but why don’t you do some research and give the facts and links you are referring to.

        The crusades were in response to the Muslims attacking other countries. There has been isolated murders by Christians who have strayed from the Bible. They will stand in judgement before God. Ireland had a political war which was unfortunately divided between Protestants and Catholics. I don’t deny that there is bloodshed by Christians, there has been. But you are trying to make a moral equivalency between Christians and Muslims.
        Go back a year, how much blood has been spilled by Christians compared to Muslims? Muslims are blocking the doors to churches and setting them on fire. This happens every Sunday in Africa. Did any Christians burn down any mosques or kill any innocent Muslims?
        Go back 11 years. 3000 Americans killed by Muslims flying hijacked jets.
        Go back 70 years. The Grand Mufti had a partnership with Hitler, it wasn’t only Jews that were exterminated.
        
        All of these examples are of Muslims murdering in the name of Allah. If you can, please tell me of any examples of Christians as a whole doing something similar.
        
        You think that if one person who is Christian commits a crime that all Christians should be held in judgement, but all Muslims who commit the same crimes together should be understood, that there are reasons for their savagery. That is hypocrisy. It’s also a very dangerous game.
        
        stonedoubt
        
        The Inquisition and many Christian movements like The Inquisition.
        
        Obviously, you don’t count at least hundreds of middle eastern people who have been killed as a direct result of our military actions in the region in the last year. The Muslims that are protesting certainly do. Over the past decade we have killed 10s of thousands of innocent people.
        
        You use selective reasoning as justification. If the same thing had been happening to Christian nations, I am quite certain your view would be different… who is the hypocrite?

  “However, it was opportunistic of Mitt Romney to jump on this before they even knew the details of what happened, exactly.”
  
  We knew that we, the United States of America, were being attacked by a bunch of 7th Century barbarians and the POTUS apologizes for a film nobody has seen made by a church nobody goes to. Romney was presidential and answered questions forthrightly despite the fact that the questions were contrived by the BO sycophants. Obama, otoh, is a coward and runs from reporters when one dares to ask, “Is this an act of war?” Maybe the coward-in-chief will get from behind Hillary’s skirt long enough to ask her what he should do.
  
  Also, how do you know that Oklahoma wasn’t influenced (or aided/abetted) by Islam? A lot of things didn’t get much airplay outside OK. I know, I was living there and commuting to another state daily. Besides, comparing a supposed “lone wolf” incident like OKC with jihad is absurd.

In a country where the POTUS apologizes for being ATTACKED, in a country where 85% of all that is reported and written and opined is biased so far to the left it can’t even be called reporting, in a country where the head of the DNC is caught RED HANDED ON TAPE in a huge lie and it barely receives mention by the major networks, in a country that is headed down the economic tubes but is routinely told it “is better than four years ago”, in a country that has been held in some sort of pathetic and uneducated trance by an unqualified POTUS hell bent on swirling a bit further down the drain… what’s left to say?

It is pretty amazing that the press can act this way and no one cares. It started when Obama was going to run for president and no press would vet him at all. No one questioned anything about hism and it has carried over until today. Obama and the current regime are the most crooked in the hisoptry of the world. Obama, if he is losing the election before election day, just might declare martial law and postpone the election until a time that is more favorable to him. Sound farfetched, wait and see.

2) If it occurs under a Republican, you question what is in the leak and why does the government want to cover it up.

A) No! Not the Bushes daughter! Algore Jr Jr! Busted several times for pot! Which brings up another few rules for the presstitutes:

Does anyone remember “journalist” Nina (not Totenberg. A younger Nina) saying she would go on her knees for Bill Clinton – during the height of the Lewinsky scandal? This, because she admired Clinton’s policies for women. Presumably she did not mean, the “You better put tome ice on that. . .” his advice to Juanita Broadrick. Brings to mind the saying, “You can lead a whore to culture, but you can’t make her think.”
fullmooner

Clarification: In July 1998 NINA BURLEIGH, then of TIME magazine, said of Bill Clinton, “I would be happy to give him a blowjob just to thank him for keeping abortion legal – Google it for her further lady-like comments that all the women in American should be lining up with their presidential knee pads to thank him for keeping theocracy off their backs. It doesn’t get much clearer than that where she stands, kneels – whatever. I notice she is doing tamer stuff now – an article in this month’s American Heritage, an historical magazine.
fullmooner

What is the little red flag? Does that mean you are deleting my post about Nina Burleigh, late of TIME magazine? Is it because I quoted Nina Burleigh, journalist, as saying in July 1998 (google it) that she would be happy to give Bill Clinton a blow job just for keeping abortion legal? She said it, I didn’t. I was only pointing out the gratitude of liberal reporters. Is that worse than calling them pressitutes?

Wiseguise

If the press is supposed to be the guardians of the Constitution (which they are), shouldn’t they be “allowed” to coordinate important questions about the election campaign process (a chamber in the beating heart of democracy) so that in a limited-questions-taken press conference they can be sure that a few key questions are asked? If this were a Democrat, we’d certainly want to be sure that the bases were covered, right? This outrage is a case of not understanding how a professional situation *works* in the real world.

This is shameful. When I did a search to see if others were talking about this I found a headline from The Washington Post concerning the open microphone. When I clicked on the link the story had been removed. No surprise there. It is a reporters job to REPORT the news while using facts and findings in a fair and balanced manner. It is not their job to spin the news to fit their own bias or agenda. Unfortunately I’m not surprised by this situation. The MSM has been attempting to control how people think, live, and vote for years. This time they got caught.

I listened closely to the clip and it was nothing out of the ordinary for press reporting to the US and world media on an extremely sensitive matter. Whether it’s President Obama or Governor Romney, questions regarding possible war must not be avoided. The issue at hand is that a presidential candidate who has no experience on foreign policy should never turn such a dangerous matter into some rediculous campaign strategy. With the leadership of our president and secretary of state, I’m certain that justice will be executed in the matter of the devestating embassy attacks. Governor Romney please run a smart campaign not a reckless one.

So, you are pissed that they are making sure that at least one of them gets to ask a question that they all want to know the answet to? Yeah… uh… so devious.

If you don’t think the Romney campaign is in the back, going over which press members to avoid, then you are crazy. Because they are going to strategize on which reporters are going to ask the hard questions that they don’t want to answer — so they can avoid calling on that reporter.

If anyone listens to reporters speaking on any social/political subject, it is easy to decide they have been involved with, and supported by each other to effect a cohesive reporting effort. Rush Limbaugh has shown this ‘same bias same words’ reporting style many times on his program using the actual voices of the ‘same bias same words’ reporters.
I believe we might be more correct in calling those reporting styles “inter locking Media prejudices.’ A social/political collusive reporting style is beyond bias.
The citizens of our Republic need the truth from our Constitutionally guaranteed free press. Telling the non politicized truth would be, not only a new Media experience for some of our Republic’s reporters, It would give them the greatest impact on a patiently waiting population than many of them could believe.

  No PP you miss the point. Romney can certainly manage to answer this flock of sheep. These people, however, are supposed to be competing reporters, they are from numerous competitive news organizations.
  
  The point of journalism is (WAS) to get the best story and to be the best in obtaining the truth to gain viewership/readership. Lamestream media is no longer interested in reporting facts that enable the general public to actually FORM THEIR OWN OPINION. This is a perfect example of the liberal bias prevalent today. They ganged up in order to manipulate the story, collusion, plain and simple. So am I assume that you trust these idiots to inform you? Or are you just another member of the flock, too foolish or ignorant to want to form your own opinion?
  - PrehensilePhallus
    
    They asked the questions that I personally wanted answered. They are competing news organizations yes, but in this case it is to their mutual benefit to ask the most effective questions and not ask repeat questions. In order to do this some coordination is required. It’s not as if the answers to one press member’s questions are off limits to the others.
    - yolds
      
      Bad answer PP, yes they are to compete and ask questions to inform the rest of us of views opinions and find truth through all the lies. If another reporter asks the question, then they go on to the next question that needs answers. You do know that they have multipule questions for these gatherings right? If this media wasn’t being manipulated so much, we would have answers to OUR questions already of Where is his “Real” birth Certificate, Whay does he have a CT SS number and Why is his Selective Service Card fake. Birther you say, Damn right!! WE WANT ANSWERS!! He is NOT a Natural born citizen and does NOT belong in the White House. WE WANT ANSWERS!! Sooner or Later we are going to get the real answers to these questions, but first things first, we will VOTE him out of OUR White House. Then we WILL find out these answers.
      - PrehensilePhallus
        
        Even if you were right about not seeing his “real” birth certificate, or the SS # conspiracy (which you aren’t), Obama’s mother is a US citizen, therefore Obama is a US citizen. Under current law he qualifies by virtue of that fact.
        .
        The questions you have are absurd. Nonetheless, the press has asked the question multiple times. They even asked the opposition party’s presidential candidate, and even he couldn’t stand by such an idiotic conspiracy.

-He is spending money like its water, putting us futher on the road toward fiscal colapse

They have betrayed the American people and violated a sacred trust given to them by our Founding Fathers and the Constitution. There’s plenty of other good TV on other networks. Explore the 500 cable channels you pay for.

They are abusing their position and worse than that , they are aiding and abetting treason as well as being criminally negligent where informing our public / electorate is concerned! NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS & CNN have all been bought and paid for by liberals/ leftists seeking to make our constitution a thing of the past, and their precious utopian dream of communist society where everyone is “equal” in Ameritopia.

Fox “news” is owned and controlled by Rupert Murdoch. You know, the “pied piper of crazy talk”. ……Just like to point that out whenever I stumble across those who appear to be suffering from his diabolical brainwashing techniques. There is a cure, but it’s not easy…..If you avoid tuning into or reading any news outlet even remotely connected to ol’ Rupe, and instead search out those brave souls who have managed to keep their journalistic integrity intact, only then can you travel to the land of reason. Hey, a good way to kick-start your deprogramming would be to have the guts to disregard the continuous Fox edict to never stray into the light. Try going to this site, if you dare face that rarest of comodities nowdays, the unfiltered truth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?=v5VrsFEiTpsQ&feature=g-user-c
