How will the media report this story?

[kentuck]

Think about it and give it your best educated guess?
================

If Romney or a Republican surrogate were to report that Barack Obama had foreign bank accounts in Ireland, Bermuda, Germany, Australia, Cayman Islands, and Switzerland, what would be the reaction across the media? Would it be a big story? You bet your ass, it would!

Now, let's watch and see how the media handles this story about Romneys foreign bank accounts? Will they ask him about it and pursue the facts or will they ask in passing and let it slide into oblivion?

Do you think it is an important story when the person running for President of the United States has his wealth tied up in other countries? How patriotic is that? Is the tax rate and interest rate more important to him than his own country?

Is he waiting for forgiveness and promises of no taxation before he will bring his money back to his own country? And this guy is running for President of our country?

How do you think the media will handle this story??

1. Story? What story?

Any other questions?

2. "How a poor boy from backwoods Utah made good."

3. hasn't this been known for quite some time? Obviously the media thinks nothing of it.

4. First, this isn't "news"...

...because the media was all over it last year when Romney was being pressured to unveil his tax returns.

Second, the present story about Obama attacking him him in the new campaign ad has 1,752 new article links on Google.

If there's a conspiracy to suppress the truth, the corporatist media is doing a lousy job.

5. Just think if Obama was

Mormon. How many wives do you really have? Is your religion going to interfere with your duties? And what color are your magic underwear?

8. Unfortunately true...

But they are pretty sure he is a Muslim and that he was born in another country...

6. Fox (& the GOP) would be yelling treason, unpatriotic, & if you have nothing to hide

then be open with what you have. Why does he hate America?

A real American would pay his taxes on ALL his money, after all we're in a war & this country needs all us patriots to stick together. Or, if he hides his money, maybe he should leave America & hide with it.

But seriously, how do I think the media should handle this story? I think they need to ask some hard questions. How do we know he's not going to do to America what he did with some of the companies he once bought, raided and then profited from?

9. "A real American would pay his taxes on ALL his money". Bingo.

7. They will cover it up. They will justify it. They will repeat

the latest fax from the RNC.
