Ronmey is giving the Big Three interviews today.

After today, they can say they have addressed this issue with NBC, ABC, and CBS and that it is time to stop beating a "dead horse". Let's hope the press does it's job.

That will be a first - they have all been campaign ads so far!

They will be the last to "interview" and they will help correct any thing Mitt misspoke on the other three networks.

4. 'Recorded' gives the opportunity for retakes.

Or even to disallow the entire interview if his handlers don't like how the interview went.

7. Are any of those so called reporters worth a damn? Are they going to be yes men + women or

are they the type that will actually have all the facts and ask the hard questions?

Anyone?

Without a good reporter/journalist - these interviews are just spin control.
