But the big backer Mitt Romney and -- -- On any that headline first struck me.

And then the the story read struck me because I'm reading -- -- -- same paper that blasted -- when they help Republicans.

When it could see -- -- and it it it obviously.

The coverage in this campaign.

By the traditional media has been horrific well now the economy it's proved it yet.

Well whether it's the economy are quite look at.

Know that the Middle East is is blowing up it's on fire our our our.

Fox News breaks a story that that within 24 hours of the first attack.

The complete.

The administration knew that it was a terrorist attack and really didn't disclose that for weeks.

Really for political purposes so that his foreign policy didn't look like it caused these problems as.

This apology apology and appeasement policy.

And it could you imagine if George Bush -- George W.

Bush had tried to cover up the fact that something was terrorist attack -- everybody with any sense it was a -- it.

Or anything -- out of -- also -- -- AdSense and say that we've we've got bumps along the road I mean.

Then go to George Bush at -- -- -- -- out of office but let.

-- -- -- sit INS in the New -- that I understand its inherent biases but you know I guess I'm old enough to -- time when the media alike sit.

-- -- you know.

Dirk everybody -- you know and go after -- at its -- going after Michael the cockpits more.

The famous -- motionless responds to Bernie saw about.

Of what would you do with his wife -- rates.

It eight used to go after Jimmy Carter who you know we're talking about -- consulted is that eight year old daughter Amy on.

Nuclear proliferation in other words.

It lumped together got to -- either party now -- scenes and I'm just saying this is you know as on the right -- left.

It's only the right where -- where they go for this wind once sometimes -- -- all hack that both sides if you wanna go there.

Our our give you ample room.

And it was really refreshing her talk about.

Journalism about -- you had to be fair -- -- try to balance I tried to put your feelings aside your your own beliefs you could go in and vote tell you wanted.

But when -- reported on -- story wrote about something needed to be balance I think that's just go on I think with traditional media that's not that just isn't in play anymore and I think that.

-- example with the taxes -- only the most recent -- foreign policy -- I -- the economy what do you hear people talk about little in any little improvement in the economy.

Well I just leave it -- as you did before and I'm I'm I'm open to attacks on both sides as long as as both sides if you're going to go up crazy it.

On one got you might as little crazy and out of and that was a time.

When the media just as liberal in the past happily did so if for no other reason that I love the gotcha moment you know but.

It's weird -- All it was less commitment to journalistic ethics that's exactly and I wanna get back -- that argument about the Texas two are wanted to jump in lol I was listening her.

No might well that's another -- because -- that I've lost my appetite which made it was that it gets us the intention.

But in the thank you very much listeria back again this new unity -- -- -- --
