It’s hard for the Activist Old Media to out-do itself with their leftist bias, but the Romney tax returns have them freaked out.

This fits right in their wheelhouse of deception and class envy.

The latest is an ABC story with this headline. “Romney Failed to Disclose Swiss Bank Account Income.”

Sounds serious there. Sounds like they finally busted Mitt and they are preparing the graphics and music for the hour-long prime time special showing him doing the IRS perp walk.

Five paragraphs into the story you find out the amount is $1,700 dollars. Now, $1,700 is more than most recent Democrats candidates for president donate to charity in a year, but on Romney’s tax returns to find a missing $1,700 dollars is like finding a penny in the cushions that you forgot to report. I guess the dollar amount is not important (unless its somebody making too much money,) it’s the headline they were after here.

Better get top terrorist reporter Brian Ross out of the Caribbean and off to Switzerland to uncover this latest Romney plot.

NBC’s Brian Williams called Romney’s wealth “unimaginable.” Unimaginable? How you doing Brian in your luxury Manhattan apartment? Ask your neighbor Beyonce if you can borrow some sugar.

Better send that crew back to Mexico to see how the branch of the Romney family is doing down there and demand they tell you how much money they make off their citrus farms. You left that out of the last story you did on them.

“As yet, nothing wildly exciting has taken place, according to pundits and the analysts, inside the Republican field right now.”

That’s ABC’s Christiane Amanpour working hard to tell Republicans that their field for the presidential nomination sucks right now. Actually, she defers her comments to the “pundits and analysts” who somehow are experts in knowing what is exciting. What would she call exciting? Perhaps if one of the Republican candidates did a “Howard Dean Scream,” or if one of them had a “John Edwards Affair” with one of their staffers during the campaign? Oh ya, the activist old media kept that quiet during the 2008 campaign because apparently that wasn’t the type of “excitement” they wanted.

Did the media miss Herman Cain’s announcement speech in Atlanta? I suggest they watch it if they want to see excitement. The same media that was so captivated (and they still are) by Barack Obama’s race has virtually ignored Cain. Go figure? By the way, if the media loves great speech makers, as they say they do, they might want to watch Cain for that reason as well. He uses no teleprompter, no reverb, and no Greek columns behind him. Maybe if he had, they would’ve called it “exciting.”

Did they miss Mitt Romney raising $10+ million dollars in eight hours in Las Vegas? I was there. It was exciting. Apparently a Republican who has such tremendous support financially from the people doesn’t count as exciting in the minds of the activist old media. Instead Politico uncovers that Newt Gingrich has a revolving account at Tiffany’s in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and Chris Matthew calls it a “big mistake” and that Newt wasn’t “thinking ahead.” Seriously Chris, you want to talk about big mistakes and not thinking ahead? How’s that 14 trillion dollar debt clock workin fer ya? Watching the debt clock rack up faster than lap times at the Indy 500 must be exciting stuff in the minds of the media. Also, Newt used his money, Obama is using ours. (more…)

You hear this mantra everywhere in the activist old media, “The Republican candidates for president are flawed,” “Republicans are not happy with their candidates.”

George Stephanopoulos goes to the “Smart Screen” on Good Morning America with the latest poll/editorial that tells us that Republicans are dissatisfied with their candidates for President. It’s all right there — if the Smart Screen says it, who can doubt it?

Nobody has declared for the White House on the Republican side and already the media is working as hard as it can to diminish the field. Humm, wonder why they would want to do that? Basically the media is saying, “We don’t know what the field is yet, but we know Republicans don’t like it.” What they are really saying is that they don’t like it.

I happen to rather like the field of potential candidates for President. No Presidential candidate in our lifetime has accomplished the things Mitt Romney has accomplished. Along with being a brilliant businessman, he saved the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics and showed his ability to negotiate with foreign leaders when he convinced them to display the torn and tattered flag from 9-11 during the Opening Ceremonies (no flag is to be singled out during the Opening Ceremonies, this one was,) another accomplished businessman, Herman Cain has shown his ability to build a strong nation through free enterprise—imagine that? Godfathers Pizza has been rather successful over the years and it didn’t happen by accident.

The Chicago Reader is running a spread on the candidates vying for the Democrat nomination for Obama’s former Senate seat. The title of the article is quite offensive:

What’s at Stake in the Senate

Not only could a Democrat help push Obama’s agenda – he or she could make the chamber a little more black, female, gay, or righteous.

This is what makes some of us disgusted with Progressive Democrats and their media lap dogs. How is the title of this article in any way true to the spirit of the following quote: (more…)
