CNN's Glenn Beck has made his opinion of the mainstream media's obvious bias against Mitt Romney open to the public. Elect Romney in 2008 (a site that posts a steady stream of good quality, interesting articles - I can't praise these guys enough) was informed of this article from one of their readers.
Here are some key points made by Beck:
"It’s, especially around election time. It’s very, very interesting. For example, how do they know which primaries are important? Glad to know that. Seems to me that some are extraordinarily important and others, even when it’s a close race, barely even worth a mention. Why is that? Apparently we do have some sort of a rule developing here that I just don’t understand. The truly important primaries are the ones that Romney doesn’t win. Iowa’s important, Wyoming isn’t. New Hampshire is important, despite the fact that Wyoming has more delegates than New Hampshire. New Hampshire is also more important than Michigan, which also has more delegates and where more people voted than all of the other primaries combined. South Carolina is important but Nevada isn’t, even though Nevada once again has more delegates and the fact that Nevada is apparently important to the Democrats. Are you following me so far? This is the new rule. It’s very hard, but once they put it up in a chart with just a slogan, if Romney wins, it’s not important. You mark my words. Florida is suddenly not going to be important."
Imagine if McCain had won these states ... the media would have made a huge story out of it, or i it was Huckabee, they would have called it a miracle. But because it was Romney, no big deal ... in fact they make us believe that it was no accomplishment at all.
"Story line goes that Michigan just rewarded Romney because he’s their state’s favorite son, although he left the state when he was a kid, something that McCain pointed out before the vote. This guy has no ties here, he left before he was a kid. Then during his concession speech McCain said that it was nice of Michigan to reward their favorite son, something that he said before the election wasn’t true. And that line of thinking because John McCain said it, immediately adopted by the media. Nevada, however, is a different story. I mean, it’s obvious now. This is what they’re reporting. It is obvious that Romney was going to win, wildly expected, spent so much money. Romney was the man to win, wildly expected. Really? It was? That’s weird. Six days, six days before the caucus in Nevada, it was a 4-point lead for John McCain. By the way, that lead was not over Romney. That lead was over Giuliani. Romney was not only behind McCain at 22%, Giuliani at 18%. He was also behind Huckabee at 16%. Romney in Nevada, six days before the election at 15%. Some polls had him with a lead but nothing like the 51/14 win he wound up pulling off, Ron Paul coming in second. Now, does this give him any momentum? Of course not. People today are saying if he doesn’t win Florida, he should drop out. Of course not. Why? Because the Nevada win was all about Mormons. Did you know that the state has 9% Mormons is this so 0 that 9% gave him the 51% lead, that 9% did. All the Mormons that came out to vote for Romney, of the Mormons, he won the Mormons. He made the Mormon vote. It’s absolutely true. The problem is Romney also won every other religion. All the Catholics that came out, he won all the Catholics. All the Presbyterians, he won all the Presbyterians. All the Baptists, he won all the Baptists. In fact, Romney won every single demographic category of the 67 exit polls measured except for three and most of them by a very wide margin."
Despite Mitt doing better than any other candidate in terms of delegates, number of states won, and overall total votes, the media always thinks that Mitt should quit the race if he doesn't win the next state.
"But let’s put things into perspective here. Romney shouldn’t be dropping out of Florida. Even if he loses Florida. Which, by the way, a new Rasmussen report, a new poll out just today, you’ll find it on the front page, shows Romney now ahead in Florida. It was a three-way tie. McCain, Giuliani, all about 18%. It now shows Romney. Everybody else still at 16 and 18% and Romney at 25% in Florida. So he should definitely drop out of Florida. This guy has momentum despite what the media is doing to him. This guy has momentum despite all of the candidates ganging up on him. He’s run the most consistent campaign against the early states with his worst finish in a close race for 3rd with Fred Thompson in South Carolina. His worst finish was third place. And yet the messenger of change is John McCain and Hillary Clinton. My goodness, I just, I just don’t understand that."
To anyone who has eyes and half a brain it is clear to see that the liberal media hates Mitt Romney because they view him as the biggest threat to take out one of their Democrat favourites. The more they hate on him, the more you know he's doing well.
