-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Not just sitting -- when we talked a little bit -- ball here about how the way did the media.

Has focused and we have he had to be fat on some of this -- Walt would appear to be the lessons stand -- issues of the so called gaffes -- -- That Mitt Romney has made while -- his trip allegedly made I guess.

On his trip around the world com and you have some beef with the way we've all been doing that I guess.

Well I'm glad that you mention that these are less -- -- of issues because.

I'm fine with gas to a certain extent you know I think they're fun to tweet about I think it's kind of a healthy to -- -- political candidates.

Bad at a certain point.

I really dominated the discussion on this trip and there was a lot of under reporting of some actual news.

And -- wasn't all really good news for Romney you know yes he did have the endorsement from the former polish president the noble prize laureate which helped them.

But there was also the incident wherein he was raising money on foreign shores which is just you know absolutely open for more substantive debate over whether or not -- -- would be a success.

And we also had situations where.

You know he was really fleshing out and giving them more nuanced version of what he would deal with Iran and I think it says more about what he would be as a president or how he could be -- -- Just -- -- -- -- -- mean that is that -- jolly -- -- -- to view of what he would do with Iran I will not let Iran get a nuclear weapon.

That's not -- Arizona a whole lot of new new -- there I don't think any -- In essence that's exactly what President Obama -- is also set.

Really shows what he's going to be as a president a -- -- would be more nuanced but.

You know it really is newsworthy that he would go to that location and say that a lot in it's -- it's a lot more newsworthy than.

-- the other things that got attention it's a lot more newsworthy than the kiss my behind America and our.

Ha ha ha after enough I did love that though it was very entertaining no right what talking of -- of sensitive issues chick -- happen.

What I feel full.

I've never had to play on the vegetarian.

I know.

At the end of the day what really struck me about this was the fact that when -- Boston mayor came out -- said he would try to block it.

We did see a majority of liberal commentators coming out and condemning that move.

But you know there was very little -- reaction from the main stream media to that and we know for a fact that they would have been.

-- -- collect it if a small southern town mayor had come out and tried to ban on Macy's from opening up based on there.

Gay marriage -- commercials on Sunday saying the -- it did in the media reaction to this was notably muted at the end of the day to say the least.

All right Justin -- -- rated news service thanks very much just in our daily biased fashion.

The topics of the media all week and how they how we cover things.
