Previously, Jeff Zeleny’s biggest claim to fame was asking Barack Obama the hard-hitting question, “What has … enchanted you the most from serving in this office?” The question was so sycophantic that even Zeleny’s colleagues in the White House press corps laughed out loud when they heard it. The New York Times has Zeleny covering Rick Santorum’s campaign three years later, and suddenly Zeleny’s a lot less concerned about what enchants politicians … and less concerned about quoting them accurately, too. When Zeleny rewrote a statement from Santorum in a speech and then challenged him on it, Santorum got angry — and a little PG-13, too:

I watched part of the speech. there is a passage when Santorum keeps calling Romney the worst without it being tied to healthcare. This is what the reporter was talking about.
You can't rationally dismiss it all as media bias. I despise the LSM for their overwhelming bias but Santorum has shown that he is not presidential with recent statements about Romney.
That’s how I feel about the media and spinmeisters in this forum.

Hooray for Santorum. About damn time someone called out these media bastards, in the finest GWB “Major league asshole” tradition.
What?
I didn’t post that 3 times. ?
1) Rick Santorum gets this ... but he doesn't respond in a presidential manner.
2) Newt Gingrich gets this ... and he responds in a masterful and presidential manner.
3) Mitt Romney is glad that the press is rooting for him.
Some are actually too retarded and (commited bamabots) to grasp simple declarative sentences.
It's not all malice.
Personally, I loved it! Chuck Todd - that whinging, balding boob - was practically blubbering over the incident. Talk about dishing it out but...
Santorum is not going to be the nominee so why shouldn’t he blast the media? We all love it when Newt does it.
Oh well looky here; Rick got upset at a B.S. question from the Left-Wing Media, and a FReeper decides to dutifully drink the Kool-aid and help pile on one of our candidates.
You have to give it to the Libs, you hardle ever see them trash one of their own people. And we wonder why we’re referred to as the “Stupid Party.” I’m a Newt guy myself, byt there’s no way in hell I’m going to join the Dems and MSM is trashing one of our guys!
I’m less worried about the Left, and more worried about the knuckle-heads on our side. We’re our own worse enemy.
BTW-Good for you Rick!
Yep.
You're right.
What can we say?
Truman, Johnson, JFK, none of them were presidential material.
You are a spoonfed ignoramus to make a statement like that.
Well, Rick called a spade a spade (nothing racist about this) when he called the report out. The creep liberals keep trying to get someone to crack so they can exploit it. I am sick of all the media!
Santorum is a juvenile hot head, in way over his head and the Press will chop him up like a frog in a blender.
And like it or not, there is so much more to come, that will be similar to this. I predict that Santorum won't make it past the end of April. He is imploding and desperate and it shows.
Words for the . . . “Knuckle-heads.” Well put!
Go soak your head.
In my estimation, Rick our Newt are extremely presidential compared to the current occupant! Keep nitpicking folks...we're on our way to a 2nd Obama term, and the destruction of our country!
WHAT? I listened to this and he hammered that reporter. I loved it. I think the people who do not like it are Newt fans who only like Newt getting angry with the media. I hope they show this to everyone. He’s finally standing up to the liars.
LOL! Now there is a true representative for Santantrum.
“Classy”, “intelligent”, and “mature” as always......
