Is the media in the bag for Newt?

[Synthaholic]

Since neither John King nor any other reporter has challenged Newt on anything he has said so far, from "Food Stamp President" to his denial of his 2nd wife's allegations, does that mean that the media is in the bag for Newt?

That means the media are on their guard. Finally someone is challenging their bias. I KNOW the upcoming moderators of the debates, will be on their guard...

I think the media is afraid to ask Newt anything. Every time they do, he bitch slaps them

 

[California Girl]

I suspect they are awaiting instructions on how to counter facts with an alternative.

The media is on Romney's side.... Newt stings them back.

The media is on Romney's side.... Newt stings them back.

Actually, the media is on Obama's side.

 

[Claudette]

The media is out to make all of the GOP contenders look as bad as they can. Of course that doesn't include FOX who are the only right leaning news agency out there.

We all know the rest of em are in the tank for Barry.

That second sentence should have read: "Everytime they do, he says hes the victim"

 

[The Rabbi]

This is the same media that aired an interview with Newt's ex-wife 2 days before a crucial primary? The one that reported on his contract with Freddie Mac?
If the media were in teh tank like they are with Obama they would be reporting how Newt singlehandedly brought poor Black children out of poverty with his marvelous programs,a nd comparing him to Abe Lincoln.

Actually, the media is on Obama's side.

True.... but I was really talking about GOP guys.

They want Romney and Obama to meet in the end.

Facts?


"more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history." - Newt Gingrich

More were added to food stamps under Bush than under Obama, reports Brooks Jackson: "Newt Gingrich claims that 'more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history.' He's wrong. More were added under Bush than under Obama, according to the most recent figures...Gingrich would have been correct to say the number now on food aid is historically high. The number stood at 46,224,722 persons as of October, the most recent month on record. And it's also true that the number has risen sharply since Obama took office. But Gingrich goes too far to say Obama has put more on the rolls than other presidents. We asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition service for month-by-month figures going back to January 2001. And they show that under President George W. Bush the number of recipients rose by nearly 14.7 million. Nothing before comes close to that."

Of course, you wouldn't know a fact if it pushed your customer out of the way and bit you on the ass.

Because being the victim is a virtue in the GOP. Everytime they blame someone else they get applauded for it

If they aired it two days after the primary, they would have been accused by the Romney camp of keeping it under wraps to help Newt in SC.

The one that reported on his contract with Freddie Mac?

They shouldn't have reported his lobbying, after his claim that he has never lobbied?

He gets a standing O from an extreme wingnut crowd.

Why shouldn't they let it be general admission, where Democrats and Independents could sit in the audience?

It doesn't delight you to see the media get bitch slapped? Get out from under Piers Morgan's desk asswipe.
