Does the media get the chance to ask Robme ANY questions??

Honestly, it may be because I can only stomach MSNBC and online blogs and media, but I don't ever see the media meeting with Robme or asking him any questions. I also feel as though I never see any of them discussing the crap that comes out of his mouth. It is as if there is a complete media blackout on Romney unless it's something to attack Obama. I don't remember it being this bad ever.

This is why I don't get all the hand-wringing. RMoney really is a terrible candidate, even for a Republican. Not likeable, not reachable, born on home plate, loves Bewshonomics and is securely shackled with the batshitter crew. He really is going to be slaughtered like a plump pig at the debates, and no amount of Joe Kernen fluffing/bar lowering or Fox N Fiends apologizing will get him out of it.

It seems as though the media is completely in his corner. With the exception of MSNBC, which I feel has allowed criticism of him.

She got away with saying the worse things and she was never held to account, but the moment the tiniest thing that could look like a scandal happened with Obama - BOOM. Day in, day out.

Corporate Media is protecting their own. They want R'money to be President. Period. After all, he wants to go to war with Iran and that will pay dividends!
