Romney Adviser: D.C. Media In Financial Conspiracy Against Romney

Romney Adviser: D.C. Media In Financial Conspiracy Against Romney

The latest move in Team Romney's shift in focus toward conservative red meat came Monday when an unnamed Romney adviser told the National Review that the D.C. media wants Mitt Romney to lose so it can make more money.

Sometimes I think there’s a conscious effort between the media and Chicago to get Republicans depressed. And I hope our friends realize that all these media analysts out there are Democrats WHO WANT US TO LOSE. And the more Washington DC controls our economy, the more important inside-the-beltway publications are and the more money they make. The 202 area code is dominated by people who will make more money if Obama is reelected, so it’s not just an ideological thumb they’re putting on the scale for him, it’s a business interest.

Mitt, where the hell are your tax returns?

Mitt, you'd have no chance if not for the media covering your ass.

Will the MSM give Romney a pass on his "call 211" comment?

the media favors a horse race, not a coronation.

Accusing the folks writing stories about you of corruption is self-defeating. No one is worried about being shut out of the debate anymore. Media persists no matter what these candidates say or do.

It has to be a conspiracy, because Mitt is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.
