The uproar over Mitt Romney's comments about the Olympics is a typical example of the ridiculousness of the media.
Talk about twisting words and spinning the context.
Talk about lame.
I have little respect for the media. And even less now.
Read the entire transcript of the interview of Mitt Romney by Brian Williams:
Here's a direct quote from the transcript:
BRIAN WILLIAMS:
"And in the short time you've been here in London, do they look ready to your experienced eye?
MITT ROMNEY:
You know, it's hard to know just how well it were turn out-- will turn out. There are a few things that were disconcerting, the stories about the-- private security firm not having enough people-- the sup-- supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials, that obviously is not something which is encouraging. Because in the games, there-- there are three parts that makes games successful.

MITT ROMNEY:

Because in the games, there-- there are three parts that makes games successful.
Number one, of course, are the athletes. That's what overwhelmingly the
games are about. Number two are the volunteers. And they'll have
great volunteers here. But number three are the people of the-- of the
country. Do they come together and celebrate the Olympic moment? And
that's something which we only find out once the games actually begin."

Draw you own conclusion.
It does get old to have fiction passed off as truth.
But that seems to be what the media does best.
If Mitt stepped in 'it', it's not of his own making.
The media is so full of 'it' that the stench and spill over is unavoidable.
They can't smell their own stink.
If you are taking what is reported as news at face value, you are being played for a fool.
Question everything that is stated, no matter what camp it comes from.
Do your homework.
Or be in the dark.
