National Media Either Stupid or Crafty

Gov. Romney was secretly videoed speaking to a private fund raiser. I understand it was done by the grandson of Jimmy Carter who wanted to get back at Romney for remarks he supposed said about former President Carter. Doesn't do much for the Carter name or legacy. Nor does it really harm Gov. Romney's prospects for the White House. Suddenly, when the media feared Romney was gaining in the polls, this video shows up in September, when it was recorded back in May. Yes, we clearly hear Gov. Romney say that 47% of the American electorate pays no income tax. Surprise! That is correct. We also hear Romney say that a certain percentage of the electorate are going to vote for Obama and the Democrat Party no matter what. Surprise! He is dead-on right again. So, what's all the buzz and stir about on the national news media? It's the commend Romney makes when he says, "I'm not concerned about that 47%." EVERYONE from the President on down is twisting this to say that Romney doesn't care about that 47% of the US citizens. Give us all a break. We heard what he said. He said that those people would vote for Obama no matter what so his concern was not for trying to win that group. He can't win them. So why try? This is absolutely NO DIFFERENT than candidate Obama in his first run saying that he was not concerned with the Bible-believing, gun-owning conservatives. He couldn't win their vote no matter how hard he tried, so why bother? Neither candidate said they didn't care about those people as people or as citizens or as having needs. They CLEARLY said they need not concern themselves about trying to win that group. So why don't the media wonks report it right? Well, that's simple: because they want to sway the undecided voters into thinking Romney said something that he didn't say. Now these media types look into the camera with furrowed brows and frowns and say, "Gov Romney said today that he doesn't care about the 47% of American's who don't pay taxes." And Obama appears on late night TV saying, "One thing I've learned since being President is that you work for all the people." HEY, did you get that: "One thing I've learned since being President . . ." Which sounds like he didn't know it before. Or he didn't believe it. He sure didn't sound like it when he ran the first time. I still don't believe he believes it, but he has to say it because it sounds right. His actions speak much louder than his words. So, either the national news media are totally ignorant and can't seem to understand what a person is saying IN CONTEXT, or they are decidedly sinister and trying to sway opinion away from Romney. I firmly believe the latter. The liberal media have an agenda and a candidate. By the way, who makes most of the millions and millions of dollars spent on campaign advertising? Yep, TV networks. If they think it is so terrible that campaigns raise and spend so much money, then why don't they refuse to accept that money and the ads, or give the money to the poor they supposedly stand up for. The sheer hypocrisy makes me sick.
