QUOTES TO LIVE FOR:
 #8
   DISCOVERING THAT YOU AREN’T THE ONLY ONE ON EARTH THAT AGREES WITH YOUR OPINION  
"I don’t know whether to blame Lehrer or the president but it was kind of amazing cause Romney was not only saying things that are not true, he was saying things that his own campaign had previously said weren’t true," Paul Klugman said.
During this mornings, ABC News' "This Week" Sunday, which aired earlier today, The Nobel Prize-winning economist, Paul Krugman amazingly expressed the same opinion as myself, on what I felt occurred during the first Debate which occurred on Wednesday evening, October 3rd, 2012. By showcasing a problem that is truly relevant in today’s media coverage... the lack of calling a ‘spade’ a spade... no pun intended.
Too many politicians get away with simply telling lies. Half-truths are the norm.
But what was on display during the debate was simply astonishing in its scope. There were moments that it seemed our President almost spit out his water, holding in his smirks in obvious disbelief in what he was hearing. The flip-flopper had outdone himself. Possibly, revealing the true Mitt Romney. Or maybe simply this weeks version. Finally expressing a sad truth in todays political reporting...
“The press just doesn’t know how to handle flat-out untruths."
Maybe because of Mitt’s historic verbal abuse of the truth during debate #1, that in the long run the lies begin to correct the presses’ failures in reporting or simply doing their job.
