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.

Mitchell says the media has always laid off of examining Romney’s record.

Let’s see . . . I do not recall Mitchell accusing the media of “laying off” of examining Obama’s past history. Gee, I wonder why????

Nobody but people who plan to vote for Obama anyway will buy it.

If Romney can't turn The Bain Capital issue back on Urkel, then he's an idiot and deserves to lose.

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

Of course, face putty is expensive.

Naturally, the media want Romney to run so Obama can defeat him.

The GOP too apparently, that's why they don't run a conservative.

I guess they want to pull another McCain and give Obama yet another 4 years.

I wonder if Romney will quote McCain, and say that there is nothing to be afraid of from Obama, and he would make a good president.

When McCain expressed those thoughts, it was as good as voting against himself.

The media will not be allowed to beat up Romney to much after all he is Obama’s back up. With Obama on a golf course every other day he might get hit in the head by a golf ball or encounter an alligator at a water trap.

Everyone must keep in mind, there is no minimum intelligence required to become a journalist, attorney or politician.

Is she still married to Alan Greenspan?

How old is she now?

Are there any counts of how many facelifts she has had already?

As far as I know she ‘s still married to him.

How old she is is anyone’s guess, including her.

How many face lifts?

One more than the national debt.
