Well, you gotta say this for Romney and his campaign: They've got the Media figured out.

The Twit-in-Chief knows that he can get away with pretty much only going on Fox and giving interviews to friendlies. He's figured out that he can be as mendacious as his little heart craves and that the MSM will let him get away with it, by and large. That means he can pretty much spread his lies with the machinery of big bucks and complicit Super PACs all the way to election day.

got from FOX "News". It was really pathetic, both the interviews I'm thinking of, Wallace and Billdo. Interrupting him as many times as they could squeeze in to deliberately be disrespectful. They know that their racist half-wit fans love to see one of "those people" treated that way.

if the media were fair. fox didn't even report on the trip until he got to poland to spare their viewers any embarrassment.

his trip was an insult to american intelligence.
