Other another voice into this -- Larry is the editor the national review it was part of our daily.
-- fashion do you think that the media.
Rich.
Has generally reflected what -- -- saying that he jumped the gun.
That -- -- Collins look at least at the very best intemperate and you don't believe that -- -- approach.
-- I think the media is completely.
With Kim who just entirely and -- thank Gail Collins in the air has and I think -- went way overboard.
She's criticizing people for not showing judgment she calls Mitt Romney and saying.
Not I guess that's good judgment but Gail Collins a prominent columnist for the New York Times basically wrote the same thing.
In the newspaper.
At Romney's press conference yesterday it was a pack of G Apple's.
Asking the same question over and over and over again if you actually you actually wanted to ask penetrating question of Romney that might have been exposed him a little -- you ask them what is policy isn't wise can be different instead they are obsessed with that statement.
They asked the same question about that statement.
They've done that does -- -- I don't that's you know there there is there's an argument I think -- That governor Romney isn't as -- perhaps jump the gun when you know that there's a crisis unfolding in Libya you know that is an all out attack going on against the US consulate.
May -- -- -- -- you said it maybe it won't be admitted to hold off a couple of hours but rich is right.
The that the questions at that press conference didn't say -- didn't go to policy at all it was a game that we win and we're all guilty of it I think in the media sometimes it was a much more -- -- -- rather than an okay governor Romney.
What would you do that which would it be noted as a -- about question.
Politics in the United States has -- itself in -- just exactly what it is is -- -- gotcha game.
And I think we're just absolutely right it.
They play how gotcha games with even one word they're going back to the kind of thing with the President Clinton did depends on what the definition of is is it depends on what the definitions -- All of -- terrorism has or -- -- the definition of a tragedy or -- third.
I'm into -- -- -- -- -- and they'll scrabble word and turn it upside down committed it I'm like that yeah.
He only did seem as -- wounded country I mean I am asking you to weigh in on the media -- rather than the -- -- -- -- -- -- country might be better -- -- reporters like all of us.
All at least like me how to Austin -- she'll policy.
Likely would've liked to -- Policies I actually agree and shame on the media for not asking those questions I would also -- Shame on them for actually focusing more on that only politicizing the issue.
And not the flat out distortions.
In governor Romney's statement and his positions.
-- at some point you have to point to this campaign and be very clear about the lies that they are willing to not to still wants.
But to tell over and over and then to finally get their circuits on board which is what we're seeing today but the media has not just pointed to that fact -- -- they are.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Given -- good.
He's pretty well accepted and has been for a couple of decades by the right in this country given that given that they -- That the media and who lost -- might go off the governor Romney fall what may have been -- -- all time statement at least.
Wouldn't it wasn't he badly advised in doing it at that point at the very least you.
Can make that argument that -- -- on the media obsess about this and make the story all about this at least for 24 hours and but if you really got to play by those rules that the media sets for you and -- the Romney campaign -- only real option is to curl up.
And -- you know on Tuesday there to destroy them prominent web sites about how President Obama is -- use national security as a -- In this election against Mitt Romney.
And approving -- they wrote that those stories and then the very next day when Mitt Romney.
Is taking -- national security hit against the president well that's totally an announcement never should happen.
And by the way I might disagree with all of you.
I think nastier it is very important issue I think when there's a crisis the debate over it shouldn't disappear did you become more intense -- -- -- John Kerry in 2004 every time someone died.
In Iraq -- on not to talk about this he said no I'm gonna talk about this more true and that was appropriate let's have a debate about a our interest three point -- all right.
I got to wrap it up that our Richard Larry is the editor of the national review a direct shot at levels not -- -- Tuesday and 11:30 eastern long FOX News Watch posted by Jones got discussing all of these matters sue Kelly former.
