The NYT says of Romney/Ryan: Voters can no longer believe anything they say.
People here were posting about CNN interviewers not rolling over to let the Republicans rub their bellies any more.

Like, maybe the majority of the corporate moguls who own the media are splitting from the Koch/Tea Party/Wall Street Bankster coalition or something.

It may just be a bubbling over of folks who are just too intelligent to be allow any part of themselves to be associated with the regressive disinformation coming from the Romney campaign. How many folks can come before the public and echo their nonsense with a straight face? Much of what they want these journalists and news entertainers to swallow can be easily refuted or contradicted by the public record; much of it having already been debunked years previous.
Of course, none of that easily withstands the raw power of stupid people and their shifting, stupid way of arguing their nonsense to the point that you've forgotten what you were actually debating.
