4. Yes! the elite media sits there like a stump when Sununuu says the President isn't American.

They sit there kNOWIng that the lastest attack by Romney on work-to-welfare is absolutely a total lie. They sit there.. they do nothing. they allow people to lie straight to their faces about the President, when the facts are right there and easily debunked. They do nothing. But Harry Reid actually does something on the Democratic side, and they whine like little babies.

Of course the penthouse-owning, Hampton-summering, manicure-wearing, martini-swilling, 1%er media "personalities" are attacking Reid. Duh. because they WANT those tax breaks for the millionaires. Bring back poor journalists who are not beholden to some fucking Board of Directors, or owned by a military contractor, and maybe the Democrats would get a fair shake.

But when people like George Stephanopolous actually WELCOMES Ann Coulter, into the mainstream living rooms... you can tell that he's lost his soul the minute he cashed his first fat paychecks.
