Nonsense. You ascribe too much power and control to the MSM.
Look at how much attention is given to a Repub criticizing another Repub versus how much is given to the majority of Repubs who criticize Obama.
How many Dems criticize other Dems, particularly on the floor of the House and Senate? Reps criticizing Obama is just another "dog bites man" non-story. When Reps go after other Reps, that is a story.
The media alone is the reason Republicans are branded racist
"Why would they speak so insultingly, with such hostility, of opponents who are concerned citizens? And often, though not exclusively, concerned conservatives?" asks Noonan.
Because, Peggy, down deep where they live, they don't like the right, never did and have always sought to be seen by the Big Media as the progressive children of a dysfunctional and retarded family.
The first is where McCain said that those who oppose amnesty for illegal aliens are "going to destroy the fu*king party.
The second is in a call with Senator Lindsey Graham where McCain said in frustration at the rebuke he was getting, "Listen to these people ... Why would I want to be the leader of a party of such assholes?"
If Republicans found a way to eliminate all taxes without cutting a cent from the budget, the media would never report it (and you know it).
If the Reps would stop forming their circular firing squads they would be much better off. The way they treated Akin and Mourdock was uncalled for. The Dems stick together. We don't. When the leadership of the party including a Presidential nominee, senators, WH advisors, cabinet members, etc. label fellow members of the party as racists and bigots and nativists, it destroys the brand. Who wants to be a member of such a party? It just reinforces the Dems who label the GOP as a bunch of racist, old white men. It is the most destructive thing we can do. Don't blame the MSM for reporting it. Blame the a$$holes who are saying it.

“Nonsense. You ascribe too much power and control to the MSM.”
You’re right; they were beaten by Obama’s oratorical brilliance./s
There is no other explanation how this half-wit token with such high unemployment, high prices for staples, record consumer debt, and low home prices is here for another four years. If you talk to average people you will be shocked by their perceptions, and you’ll very quickly understand who shaped them. If Republicans can’t find an alternative means of reaching voters, they may as well close up shop; there was NO REASON for Romney’s loss in 2012. Whatever shortcomings he had were NOTHING compared to Obama’s by 2012; Obama was a proven failure, while Romney could hold out hope (in the same way the Kenyan Pirate did in 2008).
