Our right-wing media is proving its credentials tonight

Gingrich is 2nd in Nevada. He wasn't supposed to be. But you wouldn't know that from the headlines around the web. Nor would you be aware that Romney is getting less of the vote in Nevada that he received four years ago.

I'm thinking our corporate-whore "free press" is trying to anoint Mitty as soon as possible, rather than allow room for a candidate (Newtie) whom Obama could easily defeat in November.

It is truly getting difficult to put any trust into anyone with a megaphone to simply speak the truth.

The msm actually makes more money if the fight goes on longer. If it goes on longer they get more ad dollars.

Newt as nutty as he is I think would be more dangerous than Mittens, and the term Food Stamp President, hasn't bothered the media too much, and that would be mild if Newt were to go against Obama.
