A test for the media which they will certainly fail [View all]

Just about every conservative has jumped on Obama's "you didn't build that" quote. Romney himself referred to it today.

They are taking it out of context. This is lying. They are saying that Obama said A. In truth he said B, and B <> A and they all know it. Every time the media reports on this, they are obligated to report that the Republican is lying, and report what Obama actually said.

This won't happen. This will become like any of the various Al Gore nonsense from 2000.
