Andrea Mitchell: Romney Has Been Getting A "Free Ride" From The Media (Unlike Obama?)
real clear politics ^ | 5/22/2012 | staff

NBC's Andrea Mitchell says the media has given Mitt Romney a "free ride" by not dwelling on how long it took for his former primary rivals to formally endorse him.

Mitchell says the media has always laid off of examining Romney's record and the clash between the elements that make up the Republican party.

"They believe that the Bain Capital record is their best argument against Mitt Romney," NBC's Andrea Mitchell said about the Obama campaign.

"What you pointed out in your opening segment, and the lead in to the Cory Booker interview, was that the media have not really dwelled on how many of these Republicans are not endorsing Mitt Romney in a very, how would you describe the way they've been endorsing Mitt Romney? An elevator closing on -- George W. Bush," Andrew Mitchell said to MSNBC primetime host Rachel Maddow.

You have to wonder if Democrat media foot soldiers like Andrea Mitchell get bonus checks from the DNC for stuff like this.

Is this the Onion? It must be. Even Andrea Mitchell can’t be this delusional. We know all about an incident in Romney’s life from 1965, and the dog on his car roof 30 years ago. The state run media is all over these, yet they have REFUSED to investigate Obama’s past and constantly battle to deflect and spin anything that might harm him politically. This will be the new line of attack-Romney has been given a free ride by the media because he’s white and rich.

And that was by design. The MSM, even NPR was talking mitt up all through the primaries while they had the knives out for Bachmann, Cain, Santorum and Gingrich. It was blatent.

This woman is a blight on “journalism”. Always present. Ugly, stupid, mean, nasty, uninformed. delusional harpy. Somehow marred the top money guy (Alan Greenspan - born 1926 - 86 years OLD!). Things would go better if she just went away...like Dan “What is the Frequency Kenneth?” Rather.

Funny how this bitch smiles when she interviews libs and scowls when she does a conservative.
But hey, she’s unbiased isn’t she?

Free ride?

Andrea, you forget or failed to watch the Brokaw-Rose discussion the weekend before the 2008 election.

Andrea, I posted links here, in case your Google finger is broken:

“Even Andrea Mitchell can’t be this delusional.”

Maybe she let her subscription to the WaPo lapse.

I think that the media has been so slavish, so over the top, in their adoration to Obama that even those who pay almost no attention can see it.

And his self-indulgent wife hasn’t helped him at all. Everyone realizes what would be said if a Republican first lady carried on like Michelle Obama.

Of course the new media helps, but I really think the MSM has done themselves in this time.

Abe Lincoln was right: you CAN’T fool ALL the people ALL the time.

Now that’s funny right there.

Obama has been allowed to skate freely from the beginning...and Andrea’s been driving the Zamboni.
