Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Sarah Palin 'Manipulating' Media Away From Mitt Romney
:rofl:

Elisabeth Hasselbeck says Sarah Palin is "manipulating" the media away from giving attention to Mitt Romney.

On Thursday's "The View," Hasslebeck argued that although the country is facing major economic problems -- something she claims is Romney's strength -- Palin's bus tour is dominating the headlines about the Republican presidential contenders.

"If I had termites in my house, I'd get someone in there who could deal with it," Hasselbeck said. "Mitt Romney, right now, his specialty is the economy. I'd have him in there. Here's why we're not hearing it: because Sarah Palin's on a bus, and right now she's manipulating, in terms of media attention."

3. So if Hassledreck has termites she'd want Mittens to take care of it? Wait... what?

I can't penetrate Hassledreck's stupid.

5. Hasselbeck is wrong, the corporate media makes its' own decisions,
Romney is a corporate supremacist but he's less so than Palin.

The owners of the corporate media call the shots as to what gets covered and what gets emphasis, not the candidates.

Thanks for the thread, Contrary.

7. Dear Ms. Hasselbeck
The media can be "manipulated" by a photo of a bulge in a piece of fabric. They don't hare after anything they don't want to chase. By the way, is Mittens a "specialist" on the economy the way our only MBA president was a specialist on the economy? Because we really and truly don't need any more Republican specialists on the economy. They've done enough damage.

14. And don't Sarah's corporate master want someone totally uninformed in the White House.
You would have to be illogical to give corporations what they want.

I'm glad to see she shit and fell back in it this time.
