M(F)MMM # 187 -- The Candidate vs The Media, Part 2

     GOP Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum tore into CBS This Morning* Host Charlie Rose this morning for asking about a supporter's comment on MSNBC about abortion, saying Rose was holding him to a different standard than he held President Obama. The supporter made some crack about the good old days when all you needed was an aspirin, which the girl would hold between her knees. He Haw!
     Santorum will get points from his base for attacking the "liberal media", but if his campaign doesn't want people like supporter Foster Friess being quoted, they should keep 'em from being booked as representatives of the candidate.

And by the way, my hat off to Jon Stewart for his takedown of TIME magazine for their lighter than air covers for their American editions, in marked contrast to what they offer in Europe and Asia. My friend Gary says TIME is trying to be "THE WEEK", with lots of tiny digestable nibbles of stories. And perhaps that is the only way news magazines will survive.


[*Marcy Novak and I had had a devil of a time adjusting to the shows' new name, being nearly identical to CBS 8 This Morning. Wait, I take that back. Marcy does fine, but I've dropped an "8" into the name a few times.]
