Press Coordinates Romney Ambush, Open Mic

If anyone doubts that the media are completely in the tank for Obama and follow the lead of the White House, those doubts really should be put to rest.

Yesterday, the liberal media coordinated an attack on Mitt Romney, based on the White House talking points responding to Romney's criticism about the situation in the Middle East.

From The Right Scoop:

Before Romney issued his statement today, an open mic capture the press coordinating questions to ask Romney, with one saying “no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question”. I’ve transcribed it to the best of my ability but the audio is below for verification:

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: …pointing out that the Republicans… *unintelligible* …Obama….

CBS REPORTER: That’s the question.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: *unintelligible*

CBS REPORTER: Yeah that’s the question. I would just say do you regret your question.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Your question? Your statement?

CBS REPORTER: I mean your statement. Not even the tone, because then he can go off on…

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: And then if he does, if we can just follow up and say ‘but this morning your answer is continuing to sound…’ – *becomes unintelligble*

CBS REPORTER: You can’t say that..

**Later**

CBS REPORTER: I’m just trying to make sure that we’re just talking about, no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question.

UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Do you stand by your statement or regret your statement?

UPDATE: NewsBusters says the the CBS News reporter is Jan Crawford and she was discussing this with the NPR reporter Ari Shapiro.

Here's the audio:



So slimy.
