"Kiss My Ass" to Liberal Journalists

“Romney gaffes contrast with Obama in ’08,” said CBS News.
ABC News — like those birds on the wire — said the same thing:  “Romney Gaffes Contrast With Obama in ’08”

Romney Oversas Tour Filled with Gaffes--According to Liberal Journalists

Posted: August 1, 2012 By Bernard Goldberg

It’s hard to say what bothers me most about what we call the mainstream media.  Their bias, of course, is an evergreen, always high on the list.  So is their arrogance.  Their refusal to admit mistakes is galling (see CNN playing “Stupid Girls” song to lead into Sarah Palin segment, then with a straight face saying it was unintentional).  But their mindless lack of originality – their zombie-like repetition of what some other journalist just said or wrote – at this moment, tops my list.

Which brings us to the word … gaffe.

If you’ve been following the news, you know that Mitt Romney’s overseas trip was filled with gaffes, at least according to a lot of journalists, almost all of whom are liberal and of course plan to vote for Barack Obama.

In London, Romney told NBC news that there was some concern about security at the Olympics.  NBC didn’t think this was especially newsworthy.  Certainly not a gaffe.  Not until the British press and a few British pols got into the act and expressed their unhappiness that a foreigner would have the nerve to visit their country and say such things – things, by the way, the Brits themselves had been saying long before Romney arrived.

American journalists, of course, could have said something about how the Brits are awfully whiny and thin-skinned these days, something about how they got their knickers in a knot simply because Mitt Romney had the audacity to speak the truth.

But no.  Instead, they picked up where the British press left off.
