Media went into overdrive to protect Obama, their political investment. Politifact brought out three "apology" experts to help lay the groundwork for Obama to deflect. Multiple outlets attempted to reframe the focus on Romney's response, which they chided, as opposed to Obama's foreign policy fumble and his failure to fortify embassies abroad leading up to September 11th. Romney held a press conference and took questions whereas Obama refused questions and flew to campaign in Vegas. Reporters at Romney's presser were caught by a hot mic attempting to organize a narrative, not their questions, against him. BuzzFeed co-opted Politico's "anonymous source" formula to try to attack Romney's response. NBC denounced Romney (not the attackers, stunning). The NYT buried the attacks and joined Democrats in using Romney as a deflection for Obama's ineptitude.
The Huffington Post took a breather by asking 'why should they care about the death of a diplomat?'
