Romney The Media Favorite, NO MATTER WHAT!

It is clear even listening to Fox News that they have decided Romney is the one to run against Obama no matter who the people actually want. Why do I say this? Well, let’s take a look at the basic reporting since this whole thing has started. In spite of the fact that Romney has never really been in the lead they feel he has the best chance to win against Obama. They constantly talk of Romney as man to beat, even though once again he’s never really been in the lead.

Do you have a talk about a man who is at best in second place as being the man to beat? Of course we don’t talk this way but apparently FOX News and the other media outlets do talk this way. The media rave when Romney is at 20%-25% and yet they brush off as only temporary when others have more? Does this show they are treating the others with a different standard? I would say that’s the case.

Consider how quickly they’ve forgotten Cain even though it’s now been more than 2 weeks without a word from his accusers. The whole situation seems to have just evaporated. If there really had been something there it would have exploded by now. As we all know the accusation is better than the actual crime when it comes to destroying someone’s reputation. Did the media bother to do their due diligence before running those reports? No! But then they rarely do. They care more about the sensationalism than the reality.

As at the beginning Cain’s percentages have dropped off mostly due to there not being an ounce of reporting on him since the allegations of his sexual harassment. We need to keep in mind that at least up to this point that’s exactly what they are, allegations. There have been no formal charges, but then as with many harassment suits there rarely are. The company settles and the person stays quiet. To me this says they are not nearly so interested in justice as in money.

So why is there this great ongoing love affair with Romney. As little reporting as possible is being done about his liberal leanings. In many ways it reminds of McCain. They seem to think the only one that can beat Obama is another liberal. The reality is that even such groups as FOX News are generally not in favor of true conservatism. They are better than the rest for the most part except I can’t help but keep thinking about the wolf in sheep’s clothing. They are determined to try to convince us that a person with real conservative values couldn’t possibly win the White House. I personally do not believe this is true. I think most people in the nation hold to the values of the conservatives and could certainly get behind a conservative candidate.

Even FOX News either supports or has bought into the idea that the fringe elements in society are somehow main stream. Homosexuality is not the norm. Though many support abortion as a right of the woman I think there is hardly a person out there who does not recognize that the life growing inside a woman is a baby otherwise it would not be any more of a choice than cutting off your fingernail (as the abortion rights people like to compare the fetus). Though a growing number of people have become dependent on the government through welfare and the like I don’t believe that most people even those people feel it is really right to spend your life living off other people. What people are opposed to is the hyper conservatism that these people are painted as having. Are any of these people running for office really that hyper-conservative.

It is such a shame that people are made to feel that ethics and morality are in some way shameful or something to be hidden. Yet the people who are the most immoral and stand for the things that most fly in the face of the constitution and our founding documents are bold as can be to declare unconstitutional views. When you try to corner them they are not even bold enough to answer a single question straightly. All they do is dance around the issue and avoid ever really answering it at all. In many cases they actually go on to answer or talk about something that has nothing to do with the question that was being asked.

Enough with trying to find reasons why Romney’s flip-flops were not just that, or why his ultra liberal creation of Romney care is somehow different in intent from Obama’s. He expresses that his is only state wide and therefore not a violation of the constitution, but the intent was clearly the same that the government is responsible for our health care, our retirement, certainly for feeding us with welfare. What more is left for the government to take care of, and yet he’s not a LIBERAL????

All of this being said I really wish the media would simply print or say what these men say or believe or stand for as well as filling us in on their records of voting and speeches they have given in the past. If they did this they would not even have the time to keep trying to convince us which one they want to see win. This is not even their proper place as reporters.

Let them get back to the business of reporting and get out of the business of opinion. This includes Most especially FOX News which though probably the most balanced or at least A balance to the other Media outlets is still far too busy with opinion. They simply can't let go that Romney is not the top dog. They want him to be and like McCain keep hoping he'll do something to justify their faith in him so they can run with it even more, but so far they have shown a complete unwillingness to let Romney go and give the other people their fair shake, some of whom you don't even hear.

Please media out there start doing geniuine reporting
