As I figured, 2 out of 3 M$M morning shows ignoring Bain story

I predicted yesterday that the M$M would ignore the Bain story as much as possible and sadly I was right--at least where the Today Show & GMA are concerned. I checked both out this morning and their big political lead was the breathless "Will it be Condi?" VP distraction story put out by the Romney campaign after the Bain story broke. GMA actually showed the Drudge page. I checked in on the CBS Morning Show and they were interviewing President Obama so maybe they had coverage--I didn't have time to catch all 3. I really wish they would surprise me and do the right thing, but who am I kidding?

Guess the "unabashedly pro-investor channel" has other priorities, like trying to minimalize the shenanigans at Jamie Dimon's house of crime.

Clicked over there after reading a couple of threads here on DU. Panel included Michael Steele, Howard Dean and about four others. All of them thought this was a big problem for Rmoney.

7. Did you notice the dismissal of VP Joe's great speech yesterday? Joe kept saying c'mon, c'mon, as

if it was ridiculous to compare Joe's speech to Romney's. Joe becomes shrill when things get thorny. Steele wasn't much better. Howard Dean said it was an awesome speech and Donnie Deutsch agreed. Joe was quite shrill this morning.
