I love it. Normally the reporters just type up the lies.

I love when the schumck at the end lectures the guy for being "out of line"

taking umbrage. No one takes umbrage like Mitt. The word thin-skinned was invented for Mitt. I loved it when he took exception to the reporter laughing at his answer. Obama is too classy to do it but it would be great to see him needle Mitt in a debate and get Mitt to go off like that.

But I'm seeing this video being posted everywhere and apparently it's from the 2008 campaign.

I'm sure there's plenty currently going on with Mittens that can rightfully be mocked.

Man does Mitt ever not lie? He consistently lies then when he is caught defends his lies by splitting hairs and shading the truth in fake semantics.

They are expected to report what their masters have to say. Sometimes they may also report opposing views. But they should not fact check, and especially they must never contest untruths. That is not their job. They are merely to be conduits for what those with authority wish to convey.

Because that is why they are there.

Romney is a dumb ass for playing the technical definition of running the campaign.
