Many people look back and wonder how Mitt Romney could blow a winnable elections. One of the reasons was having idiotic advisers like Stuart Stevens. He was on CNN’s Reliable Sources and claim the media did not favor Obama. You read that correctly, One of Romney’s top strategist says the media has no bias towards Obama!
Ever since then-Senator Barack Obama first took a lead in the 2008 Democratic primary, the political news media has faced the accusation that they are “in the tank” for the now-second term President Obama. On Sunday morning’s Reliable Sources, the press got a qualified defense from a surprising source: Mitt Romney chief strategist Stuart Stevens. Host Howard Kurtz asked Stevens if ” much of the media is in the tank for Barack Obama,” to which Stevens replied, “In the tank? I would say no.”
“Do you believe, today, that much of the media is in the tank for Barack Obama?” Kurtz asked.
Stevens replied, “It’s not a yes or a no question. In the tank, I would say no. So, yes or no question, I would say no.”
No Wonder Mitt Romney lost!
