Officials so how does the media covered the trip in general Ellen Ratner bureau chief for talk radio news service is here -- daily biased -- I'm -- may commit -- as the media given him a fashion.

I don't think that pat and I'm not a Romney person as everybody knows him right I think that.

First ball and we can't we saw less that we saw.

Let the last thing unity -- -- -- real endorsement right that hasn't really recommend you change Poland forever became polish president -- and -- and Paul and handing your you know that basically.

We haven't heard about -- in the media.

And -- so the media just hand him but we haven't heard anything good.

About what other people of had to say about him.

-- and so I think that that's interesting and I I just wanna move over a little bit because.

Elizabeth I'm an American amber knows -- liberal Democrat but when -- device actually trying be fair and -- And and I have to tell you that the other thing that was very disturbing to me.

Was this wimp factor issued the time magazine right and then how the international certainly -- pick that up.

And showed -- first of all I don't think we should be calling.

People who are running for president -- wins I just that's a very good point you know that is appropriate correct and then for the networks to just wholesale pick up the -- And -- this up and then say that -- that Romney was forced to talk about it right I mean that was just.

One step of.

If any of our viewers haven't seen it go check had time on line -- all pick up the magazine.

Their whole cover story is there is essentially saying that governor Romney.

Is is a win.

As a politician and a person afraid to take any positions.

And it which is a phrase that they used back -- 1980 whirlwind bush see any it was allowing they use the same price it was yeah you're right it does seem.

I mean whatever you think about you can make any kind of intellectual argument you want but to -- -- about a would like to win.

With a guy.

Who is giving his old a run for president or whatever you -- You can occasionally not a major magazine we're not talking about Mad Magazine or some other kind of magazine -- a major magazine and then have the networks pick up.

On the Sunday shows I just think that went beyond the pale I really do and I am you know and -- bumpers so.

I just think it's inappropriate.

So even though you would probably agree personally.

-- not -- the governor are aware but you -- Gordon oh that you would agree personally that this foreign policy trip for instance you probably agree that hasn't been a great success.

But I think it's mixed you can actually do think it's and you think that the the media has not even shown it to be -- they -- -- almost entirely as as yeah.

Yeah I mean blinding me with his form pausing not particular late run but I'm not drive a 100% agree with -- -- -- foreign policy either.

But I think that they did not talk about -- -- less -- -- You know what I'm saying yes people deposed president -- -- -- certainly did not talk look and my -- agreement when Netanyahu actually not -- but they didn't talk about his connection with Netanyahu.

And how that worked out for him and I just think the media has been very -- interest.

All right well I've got to -- one other point you just making during the break -- was very very.

Passionate about it to eight an American hero swimmer Michael Phelps winner of eight gold medals in the last Olympics -- of no gold medal so far and do you think he's been he's.

Not be representing the United States very well I don't but not and this is not of just about this -- -- I don't think.

That when you do an interview with that much experience what I think the American Olympic Committee has to do is they have to sort of put out the rules.

Guys when you do an interview look at that is look at the interview -- you know don't could be just you think you Michael Phelps has been handling himself badly front I I think Michael Phelps has not been handling himself as I would want an American.

Represented of -- Olympic -- to do that the very -- he just can't be bold and minimal I don't know -- media performances in the pool would suggest that.

You either everybody's caught up with -- him -- is perhaps not been as focused.

As he was previously it's probably hard to focus on if you already got a bit of what it varies not what I fifteen medals in the venture tier retirement community and what he got a silver is great Maria handled on -- -- -- once okay sections.

We are doing an interview and you say.

And you you don't even look at the interviewer and you yeah well you now.

I'm just gonna go out there and -- officer have fun I mean it was like dismissive cook and I just -- office and you represent the United States.

Hold your head up the -- I think the queen of England is representing.

England and Great Britain perhaps she should not be polishing her nails while watching the British team and the stadium and I think everybody needs a lesson in PR exact Ellen Ratner bureau chief -- told radio news service selling great -- -- -- you Elena and others -- only sort of media matters on FOX News Watch.

Saturday's 230 and 11:30 PM eastern -- -- to buy the indefatigable Jones got all right Elena.
