You'd better believe this is an ongoing, routine occurance with the media and conservatives.

Holy Lord you guys are delusional. The press often discusses questions beforehand b/c politicians typically haul arse after 1 or 2 questions. This is not new.
And "The Right Scoop"? Really?

the right's obsession with the media is a little over the top if you ask me, especially considering the fact that fox news dominates cable news ratings. and the WSJ is the top selling newspaper.

I've voted for twice as many Dems in my short life as I have Reps, and the media pisses me off to no end. I'm not the only one with a similar story.
As a citizen, you should be concerned. It is clearly a coordinated effort by the majority of Journalists in this country.

This left wing media "conspiracy" is between 1 CBS reporter and 1 unidentified reporter?
quote:
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: …pointing out that the Republicans… *unintelligible* …Obama….
CBS REPORTER: That’s the question.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: *unintelligible*
CBS REPORTER: Yeah that’s the question. I would just say do you regret your question.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Your question? Your statement?
CBS REPORTER: I mean your statement. Not even the tone, because then he can go off on…
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: And then if he does, if we can just follow up and say ‘but this morning your answer is continuing to sound…’ – *becomes unintelligble*
CBS REPORTER: You can’t say that.. **Later**
CBS REPORTER: I’m just trying to make sure that we’re just talking about, no matter who he calls on we’re covered on the one question.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Do you stand by your statement or regret your statement?
You guys are pitiful.

WSJ news dept is liberal. It's the editorial dept that is right leaning. The 2 depts are often at odds.

This.
Every citizen ought to be concerned when the media abdicate their function as the nation's 4th estate and pick sides. The media don't get a pass on this issue just because a person likes the side the media picked.

So you bolded the section where they want Romney to lie so they can call him on it?
That doesn't help your argument any.

They're trying to make sure they ask the best possible question.

As long as they do the same to Obama
Therein lies the problem. The majority of the media does not treat Ds and Rs the same. Truly sad.
My guess is the reporters who are covering Romney resent it, and wish they were covering Obama.

A want, a little selective editing on your part, I see.
This is the salient line:

Why are you being such a hack on this? Do you not have the capacity to criticize anything the left does?
