romney supporter just outright lied to andrea mitchell....

and andrea called her out for it.

she repeated that the Obama administration sided with those overrunning the embassy.

maybe, just maybe the media is growing weary of the bullshit too

but this is at least the second time I have to give kudos to her for pushing back on the lies the repub talking heads have been trying to push on Romney's despicable comments re the attacks.

On this issue, she has been quite strong, I am going to watch if her pushbacks extend beyond this specific set of lies to the lies being told by Romney and his spokespersons on the multitude of issues on the table.

What I don't get is why these reporters then THANK these LIARS for their time!

It's crazy. Is it too much to ask that reporters book people who won't flat out lie?

I would like to see a TV Host, tell the person lying, this will be their last appearance on this program. What good is a News commentary program, if one person is obviously lying?

If Obama is really so horrible, they could provide evidence without lying.

And then they would be called "a biased liberal". Can't have that!

Would be fun if every obvious lie was called out, and if the person continued to repeat the lie they would be tossed off the set. Would drive the mittbotts crazy. They need a big Gong like the Gong show had.

... the romney supporter forgot to mention that truth.

I think the Repub masters are just screwing around, biding their time until 2016, when they trot out John Ellis Bush and make a serious run at the White House.
