52. I haven't seen that but I have seen corporate media language

Jan 2012

aimed at the other candidates for "piling on Romney," before and after the debates and I've seen Romney front and center during the debates, not on the edge of the stage with more positive questioning aimed at him and more challenging or (no good answer) questions presented to the others.

Having said that I haven't seen all the debates but of the ones I have seen and general media coverage there is no doubt in my mind who the corporate media prefers.

I believe they prefer Gingrich next, followed by Santorum and Paul last.
