NBC's Brokaw: Romney 'Missteps' Gave Obama 'Air Cover' And 'Camouflage' On Libya

NewsBusters ^

On Friday's NBC Today, special correspondent Tom Brokaw demonstrated the blatant media effort to ignore Obama administration failures surrounding the consulate attack in Libya: "Romney turned out to give the President air cover. There are serious questions about what happened in Libya and the absence of security and what is our Middle East policy, but Romney's missteps really have given the President more camouflage than he would have expected."

Brokaw lamely attempting to blame Mitt Romney for the failure of the media to ask tough national security questions of Obama echoed a recent revealing statement by CBS News political director John Dickerson, who declared that it was solely Romney's responsibility to hold the President to account over Libya because the media would not.

Media-"we wanted to ask obama tough questions and look into this Libya thing but, darn it, Romney wouldn't let us!"

I dont know Brokaw is getting his crack supply but whoever is supplying him needs to tell him to cut it down

[FlingWingFlyer]

When the truth comes out, it’s referred to as a “Romney misstep” by the commie piggies in the state controlled “media”.

[chris37]

There were no missteps by Romney.

You gave him cover, you damn communist.

We all saw what he and you did.

[jonsie]

BS, the media gave Obama cover. I believe in Karma and it is time for it to hit Obama in the rear end.

[sam_paine]

Is “Romney’s Fault” already overtaking Bush?!?!?

That means that the media is practicing for Romney’s First Term?

[mass55th]

Hey Tom. Go take an Ambien and don’t call us in the morning.

[molson209]

Why don’t the MSM just admit they are part of King Obama’s Ministry of Propaganda

[Viennacon]

THE AIR COVER AND CAMOUFLAGE WAS PROVIDED BY YOU!!!

God, I hate these ‘journalists’.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Could be Im not sure but Brokaw is a delusional liberal scum bag. Obama gets blamed for NOTHING. He could take a shotgun, go on a shooting rampage and the media would blame Romney for it. Obama has been given a free pass to do whatever he pleases

[daviscupper]

Unbelievable. Just how stupid is Brokaw?

It is Romney’s fault because the media was able to blame Romney for telling the truth and not hold Obama to account for this lies?

What kind of a defense is that? I agree he is on drugs, going senile or is so corrupt with power he feels it really does not matter what he says anymore. What a lying, deceitful, evil idiot. I shudder.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Just know that if this happened during the Bush Administration or ANY Republican Administration the impeachment proceedings would already be taking place..this is a massive massive cover up but of course it’s Obama, he gets away with everything

Tom Blochow (and some effeminate dude) THE WISDOM OF TOM BROKAW: "Here is why I think there are a lot of Glocks being sold: because gun owners are worried that they’re going to be outlawed. That’s what happened when President Obama first took office is that people were buying ammunition and storing it in underground bunkers because they thought he was going to outlaw guns and ammunition. Gun control is too simple a phrase to define all the complications and nuances of it, frankly. In Arizona they have a wide open system. I would be nervous about going into a bar or restaurant in Arizona on a Saturday night where people can carry concealed without permits."

or is so corrupt with power he feels it really does not matter what he says anymore.

Thats the one, for all the media.

So a guy who holds absolutely no position of authority in the USA caused trouble? Is that right? Is Bam such a panty-waiste that this is all it takes to derail him?

[tapatio]

Is there a word bad enough to describe how the media has acted this election cycle? I have tried to think of one and none of them even come close.

4 Patriotic Americans died you freakin buffoon!! You all knew your black eye pea turd waws in big doodoo and you turned a blind eye and gave “eye candy” cover....FOUR FREAKIN LIVES were lost and you the mediaFUKers can say ROMNEY MISSTEPS?!! I hate them with a passion that if I came across ANY one of those SOB’s a**HOLES I would punch them in the face...don’t care if I would end up in jail,...I KID YOU NOT!!!

[griswold3]

So if there’s 22+ world wide protests, some hanging Obama in effegy (how racist), and the MSM doesn’t talk about them, does that mean they didn’t happen?
Muslim Brotherhood scheduled to protest Jordan’s King Abdullah II on Oct 10. THAT will be a real wake up call for the west.

[RoseofTexas]

Nay, the talking points are already out....DAY IN DAY OUT...how O beat the crap outta Romney in the debates blah, blah, blah....MARK IT! Eye candy will have his ass covered by the mediaSOB’s til nov.6 and beyond

[PogySailor]

So Mitt made the administration lie and cover their tracks?
