So what did Mitt Romney do that was so terrible? What was the supposed “gaffe” that launched a thousand news-cycles and will likely lead tomorrow’s Sunday shows?
While in London, Romney was asked by NBC’s Brian Williams about the security situation surrounding the London Olympics, something that has received a ton of media attention, and this is what he said:
Mr. Romney told NBC News he saw “a few things that were disconcerting” about London’s preparations. “The stories about the private security firm not having enough people, supposed strike of immigration and customs officials, that obviously is not something which is encouraging,” he said.
Pause for … gasp.
Pause for … and egads.
That’s right, Mitt Romney answered a question honestly.
I’m not saying Romney couldn’t have been more diplomatic with his answer, but the perfect storm of horrible American news coverage that is now entering its third day is a punishment that does not fit the misdemeanor.
What we’re really seeing, though, is our corrupt media at its worst — a media so partisan and devoid of integrity that they look for any real or perceived mistake to keep the blistering spotlight as far away from Obama’s failed record as possible and always on Mitt Romney.
