I grieve for those days. The McNeil-Lehrer Newshour. Investigative journalism was not relegated to community access TV and weak broadcast if on air at all.

Frontline's 'Betrayal of Democracy' was a classic and warned of exactly what we have now.

"Gingrich: Mitt Romney is a liar"


http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-500202_162-57351153/gingrich-mitt-romney-is-a-liar/

On CBS' "The Early Show" this morning, CBS News chief White House correspondent Norah O'Donnell asked Gingrich about comments he had previously made about his chief rival and the Super PAC whose negative campaign ads have hurt his campaign: "You scolded Mitt Romney, his friends who are running this Super PAC that has funded that, and you said of Mitt Romney, 'Someone who will lie to you to get to be president will lie to you when they are president. I have to ask you, are you calling Mitt Romney a liar?"

"Yes," Gingrich replied.

"You're calling Mitt Romney a liar?"

"Well, you seem shocked by it!" said Gingrich. "This is a man whose staff created the PAC, his millionaire friends fund the PAC, he pretends he has nothing to do with the PAC - it's baloney. He's not telling the American people the truth.

They seem to place all of the blame for the partisan divide on Obama's shoulders. No mention of Republican leaders swearing from the gitgo to do anything in their power to stop him from gaining any victories whatsoever.

I will say that they explored Romney's frequent flipflops and that Romney fans may not like that much either.
