the interviews are occurring now and are set to air on the evening news programs.....


-------------------------------------

Mitt Romney will sit down for interviews with ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and Fox News on Friday, according to multiple reports.

Romney will speak with ABC's Jon Karl, NBC's Peter Alexander, CBS' Jan Crawford and CNN's Jim Acosta, network sources confirmed to The Huffington Post's Michael Calderone. The interviews are scheduled to take place between 3 and 4 p.m. BuzzFeed reports that the exchanges will air on nightly news broadcasts.

The candidate will also sit down with Fox News' Carl Cameron in an exchange that will air on Friday's "Special Report," according to Bret Baier.

The slate of television appearances comes at the end of a rough week for the Romney campaign. Romney's record at Bain Capital — which has been a significant point of criticism for the candidate thus far — was called into question again after new records suggest he stayed on at the company until 2002. They contradict his claim that he left in 1999, and he was not responsible for workers laid off or companies that went bankrupt under the private equity firm after that date.

1. I'm sure they picked the most right-leaning I'm sure the questions

will have to be approved beforehand.

2. This is an instance where we do not need miniature poodles...

or any lapdogs.

4. there was a time during the fairness doctrine, when the President would get equal time.

not anymore.

this is free national time across the news world for romney to explain his 'situation'.

how the media asks and frames the questions will make all the difference in the world....

3. The media needs it to be a close race for ratings (because that's all they really care about)

So I'm guessing they'll ask about Bain once and maybe one follow-up but that's it. I'll be pleasently surprised if they keep pressing on why he won't accept responsibility for Bain post Feb 1999 even though he signed documents that show he was the CEO, president, chairman of the board, and sole stockholder until 2002. That's the only reason he's doing these interviews (damage control) but it will probably get only a little attention from our pathetic media.
