As Twitchy reported, lapdogs were sitting up and begging for bones this morning at Romney’s presser on the embassy attacks.
Liberal lapdog media did their duty grilling Romney in his presser only 2 be snubbed later by Obama who took no questions from them. #tcot

But, it gets even worse. You see, Journalists for Obama ™ were far too busy trying to cover for The One to actually ask any foreign policy questions at the foreign policy presser.
Smart NRO piece on the absurdity of the press corps as evidenced by the badgering they gave Romney at presser — http://t.co/rFV16gMQ

The Insane MSM Questions Romney Faced at Presser: http://t.co/bdWsIwMY It's almost like they don't care about a U.S. ambassador's murder.

NRO’s Trinko destroys the press on this. Here are just a few of the questions asked by “real journalists.”
1. Reporter brings up that Romney had a “toughly worded statement last night,” and asks, “Do you regret the tone at all given what we know now?”
2. “Do you think, though, coming so soon after the events really had unfolded over night was appropriate, to be weighing in on this as this crisis was unfolding in real time?” Follow-up: “What did the White House do wrong then, Gov. Romney, if they put out a statement saying they disagreed with it?”
3. “The world is watching. Isn’t this itself a mixed signal when you criticize the administration at a time that Americans are being killed? Shouldn’t politics stop for this?”

Unreal.
Yet, of course, the Smarty Pantsers are trying to tell us that Romney’s statement is the problem, not the egregious, and deadly, attacks on American embassies. Nor Obama’s failed policy of appeasement and laser-like focus on campaigning.

These attacks could have been prevented if Romney had just given those terrorists cancer.

Heh.
MT @RBPundit: Has anyone found ONE "journalist" who is more concerned with Obama's handling of the situation than with Romney?

Ace of Spades joins NRO in absolutely destroying the Obama cheerleading squad in the media. Their pom-poms are surely deflated after this swoon-worthy dressing down.
This happened with Hurricane Isaac, too. The press began acting as if Romney, not Obama, had duties with FEMA (and should cancel convention)
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
They're so used to blaming the Republicans for everything… it gets a little silly, doesn't it? Newsflash: Obama is the president.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
@verumserum @PeterHambyCNN being a reporter, yeah, you should probably get the country right. The statement was about Egypt.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
@verumserum I know it's confusing, @PeterHambyCNN , with all those countries sort of looking the same, but I assure you they're different.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
as someone said, the press is morphing "egypt" into "libya." see geopolitical genius @PeterHambyCNN http://t.co/1RvDT1kc
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
They are even mixing up countries, all as cover for their dreamboat Obama.
RT @jpodhoretz:
Interesting how Romney statement on Egypt is morphing into something about Libya— johnny dollar (@johnnydollar01) September 12, 2012
Ace continues with the drubbing.
Will the US be affording all religions the protections of Anti-Blasphemy Laws or just the apparent State Religion of America, Islam?

Shorter Media to Mitt Romney: How could you let this happen?

Shorter Media to Mitt Romney: How could you let your statement travel back in time and cause the deaths it didn't cause?
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
Shorter Media to Mitt Romney: Please help us shift, somehow, responsibility from the current C-in-C to a candidate who's not in any office.

@mattklewis "blogger of the year"
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
Amazing to me how the, uh, "Smart Set" thinks the day's story is about a statement about chaos, and not the chaos itself.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
Some cannot help but submit to the Siren Song of the Easy and the Trivial.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
Blogger of the Year @mattklewis is quite firm that the Big Important Story is not 9/11 2.0 but a statement about another statement.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
An American Ambassador and 3 others were murdered in a supposed safe house, apparently by Libyan officials in league with the Muslim Brothr.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
The big story, then, is obviously whether Romney should have delayed a statement about a statement from the *Cairo Embassy by 12 hours.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
Because if Romney had delayed that statement by 12 hours, chances are, Chris Stevens would be resurrected.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
@rickklein you know what would have been good: If Obama had done something to forestall this. Oh wait The Narrative is that he's powerless.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
Ah, poet-wannabe Rick Klein. At it again.
WHAT DID MITT ROMNEY KNOW ABOUT HIS STATEMENT AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
If we don't get to the bottom of Mitt Romney's statement about a statement, Chris Stevens' murderer wins.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
"News" to amateurs: Al Qaeda and/or the MB launched a worldwide attack on US embassies and interests; four murders thus far.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
The Real News, according to "Real Journalists" and @mattklewis: Romney released a statement about a statement 12 hours too early.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
I can't believe you amateur naifs are discussing Al Qaeda, the MB, Obama's being caught flat-footed, while you miss the real story…
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
…and the real story is Mitt Romney's communications shop.

Media after first 9/11: Did Bush miss the signs an attack was coming? Media after yesterday's 9/11: Did Romney fail to exhibit proper tact?

.@mikebarnicle which other religions would you protect with these new Anti-Blasphemy Laws you propose? Would it just be the one, Islam?

@AceofSpadesHQ @mikebarnicle Any old columns about Last Temptation of Christ? or Mapplethorpe?

So, the media has already made it clear we won't be talking about the economy this election.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
Obama has declared it to be a Foreign Policy election, and they've enthusiastically agreed.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
But now it seems Obama has told them they ALSO should not be discussing Foreign Policy, either.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
So the election is going to be about Tax Returns, Sandra Fluke, and Romney's "gaaaffes" again.

Good Q via Rush: If not hurting the feelings of Muslims is vital for keeping the peace, why did he spike the ball on OBL so hard last week?
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
I mean, here's the thing: Romney's statement, whatever you think, came LATER IN TIME than the attacks/murders.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
It is therefore logically incapable of causing them, no matter how hard the media attempts to link the two in the public's mind.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
Obama's furious ball-spiking, however, came less than a week ago.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
And, get this: The people doing this are sort of fans of OBL. They're not just Muslims. They are specifically Al Qaeda types.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
I don't blame the actions of religious murder-maniacs on Obama's ball-spiking. However…
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
…if the media is determined to blame OTHERS for "incitement"–maybe the maniacs didn't like hearing how Obama shot OBL in the face 20x
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
So should Obama's statements be prosecuted as a "hate crime," too?
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
I can't wait to see what the First Amendment looks like when the "civil libertarians" on the left get done modifying it.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) September 12, 2012
Yes. Look at how they’ve already modified the term “real journalist.”
Beautiful, Ace. We just might pick up pom-poms and don cheerleader outfits the next time you thrash the media so handily! It’s not even a fair fight; They are handicapped by their drooling sycophancy.
