Media Bias Blowback?



The media attack on Romney for supposedly speaking out of turn on the Arab crisis is so weird that I wonder if it may discredit the media in this campaign. As Dan Rather's attack on Bush's military record discredited the media in the Bush-Kerry campaign. It may generate a sympathy vote for Romney, and may make some turn against Obama purely on the grounds that the media is so obviously for him. The hatred of feeling manipulated could come into play here, given the new Internet-driven rules of engagement.

There is no sign of it yet, mind.
