Ann Romney blames campaign loss on media

[RonPaul2012]

"I�m happy to blame the media. The thing that was frustrating to me is that people didn�t really get to know Mitt for who he was. People weren�t allowed to see him for who he really was," Mrs. Romney told Wallace in the highly anticipated interview.

So she doesn't think those silly bootstrap stories that she played a part in had anything to do with it? They were downright patronizing.

The thing that was frustrating to me is that people didn’t really get to know Mitt for who he was. People weren’t allowed to see him for who he really was

I would say the problem was the people actually did get to see him for who he really was. He probably could have won the election had he avoided speaking out loud between the nomination and the election.

Lord, first the sons come and tell that daddy did not want to be President in the first place

and now the blonde trophy wife comes up and speaks

Who's next

Grandma Romney

Your laughter is funny coming from such a huge Ron Paul supporter since most Ron Paul supporters blamed the media for his weak showings at the polls over the last two elections

Anybody remember this?

I like how they left out the part where she said it is a natural reaction during the campaign process. I would add, especially if you are a Republican and the media isn't trying to promote your ideas like they did with Obama.

[Streetbull]

Yeah, too bad he lost. Based just on the last few months, he would be an actual leader instead of partisan hack throwing spit bombs from his bunker.

Can anyone here, for ex, imagine Romney letting those people in Benghazi just die?

Open wide America...Obama and Biden are a big turd sandwich for you all to chow down for the next 4 years.

women logic strong here guize

Just so everyone is the same page on what a media bias constitutes...

Protip: The foundation of Romney's strategy was based on the assumption that the 2008 election was a craaaaazy aberration. (denial+hope) That the increase in minority participation would wither and rot.

Anyway, the media wasn't especially mean to the guy. It's not like they portrayed him as a literal child on SNL as some candidates have been.



He absolutely had some shot at winning, but he just kept crashing into walls over and over again. ModernGOP stuff though; par for the course.

He did let those people in Benghazi "just die". I don't feel like holding it against him however, because I'm pretty sure Super Man isn't real.

I do hold you responsible for failing the Vile Rat, though. With all your expertise in Navy SEALing and intel, you should have been able to intercept the attackers weeks ahead of time and slain them with your grandfather's rusty knife.*

* It's an englishman-slaying knife, cursed with the blood of many a redcoat from the War of Independence.

[Kane_89]

She blames the media but doesnt blame her husband for repeatedly putting his foot in his stupid mouth.

I remember after that first debate Obama got absolutely pummelled by the MSM for failing so hard. Even msnbc got on his ass.

Destroying him 24/7 for 3 weeks straight. That why his poll numbers fell so sharply. Even after the 2nd and 3rd debate the media kept propping Romney up to make it seem like a tight race.

Stop whining about the media, You blew an easy race.

Street shouldn't have even needed any military intel, could have just prophesied it.

[germanyt]

I think people just hate dressage.

[Thinman]

Quack, Quack about the media. There are plenty of media sources in this country. Liberal and conservative and everything in between. Romney loss because people didn't buy his message and the republicans far right agenda. It is time for the republicans to do some soul searching and move on.

[IronRooster2]

On the subject of Benghazi though, Romney's press conference before the bodies were even cold is probably the most disgusting thing he did, like some little kid thinking "aaaall right, I scored me some points."

All people remember is the stupid horse, and the stupid dog, and "less than half of you are parasites", but this was a moment that made me sick to my stomach. And it came a couple weeks after I saw his vacation photos with his family and I started thinking "maybe the Mi-Go shell isn't really a monster after all".

"The White House has not immediately condemned a whisper of 'guys, please don't murder us' from some of our murdered guys."

[TaeBoNinja]

She's right.

[Kane_89]

She's right.

She's just butthurt.

Even Romney's chief strategist admitted the media wasnt unfair.

[Streetbull]

no one "let" anyone die

Where are the communications? Where was Obama while this was happening? Where was Hillary? What were they doing for all those hours upon hours while these ppl were begging for help?

Do you know? I don't.

Just can't admit that your Messiah let those people die, because he was afraid of Arab world reaction to the United States sending in rescue teams.

Romney's press conference sickened you, but Obama putting public opinion in the Arab world above the lives of those people is fine.

Libs...not even once...

[badreligion]

She's right on that the media had a strong bias towards Obama and did everything and anything they could to hurt Romeny IE "binders full of women" and that fat cow Candy Crowley ....With that being said , Romney didn't have a snowball's chance in hell from the start .

[rootcon]

I'm a libertarian so no fan of the GOP/Romney, but even I can see that graphic is 100% made up fraud. Like most everything you see from the media these days.

You really should be punched in the fuking mouth for this opinion. You know damn good and well that you are spewing horseshiit. I'm actually offended by the notion that our sitting president ignored pleas for help that resulted in lives lost just because of public opinion in the Arab world. And that applies to any president, nay, any American.


*******.

This.

I have NEVER seen cnn nor msnbc even moderately criticize obama

CNN yes. MSNBC, not even once. But I've also never seen Fox run any story that painted the president in a positive light.

Fox is the only bastion of conservatism in the media though, so they dont need to blindly praise Obama.

Anderson cooper on cnn may occasionally bring ip factual critique of obama, but i sure as sh8t havent heard the brit nor any of the others criticizing him
