In wake of the 'smirk,' Mitt's campaign now blaming the press

Mitt Romney smirks after attacking President Obama over the Libya attacks
Isn't it a little too early for the Romney campaign to be entering the blame-the-media phase of the campaign? Or too late, or something?

[...] Romney and his senior aides had generally avoided the common Republican complaint that the mainstream media is fundamentally biased in favor of the Democratic Party. That has begun to change, however, with top aides now privately grumbling that they have given up the hope of a level media playing field.

Oh, boo hoo. You called the press in to hear what Mitt Romney had to say, he said it, they reported it, and now they're the bad guys. Maybe Mitt can invest in some tiny-violin-based derivative swaps.

"I love all these reporters saying that they thought the Democratic convention was better," said one senior adviser sarcastically. "Of course they did. It's like a steak lover saying they like a steak house. They served what 90 percent of reporters love. And they liked it? Shocking."

So it's the reporters' fault for not liking your convention? What, were the themes of "Obama is bad" and "stuff Obama didn't actually say, but we think he probably would have so let's just pretend he did" just too rich in context for the nation's reporters to wrap their little brains around? What hidden nuance of "old famous guy holds muttered conversation with foul-mouthed empty chair" are you angry the reporters just didn't understand?
