Dem Loving Media Asks GOP Candidates Stupid Questions So Dems Can Make Stupid Videos

In yesterday's "Quick Hit Headlines" I had an item in which ABC was taking the Democrats to task for producing a very misleading video about the GOP debate.  Daily Caller has more:

DNC = Dishonest News Critics -- Are the Republicans responsible for CNN's John King asking them such stupid questions during the debate Monday night? That's what the Democratic National Committee is claiming. TheDC's Neil Munro reports: "A DNC video used clips from the debate to ridicule the GOP candidates as out-of-touch with American’s economic concerns. In sequence, it showed Herman Cain talking about Islamic law, Pawlenty praising former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, Romney saying he will repeal Obamacare, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich urging construction of a station on the Moon. The on-screen text declared that 'The phrase "middle class" wasn’t spoken … Not a word about education … Most of the candidates want to re-fight the debates of the past … But at least one candidate had a vision of the future … The Republicans: What in the world are they talking about?'" Well, they were talking about the topics John King asked them about. As Hot Air's Allahpundit notes: "In fact, one Republican (Romney) tried to steer grunting doofus John King away from frivolous questions last night and back towards the economy, and the evening’s big winner — Michele Bachmann — managed to impress even some liberals precisely by showing that she was more than the sort of hot-button caricature this dopey ad is trying to draw. Still, this is useful as a sneak preview of Obama’s wider campaign strategy if unemployment stays sluggish." Which it will, unless we get rid of all those job-killing ATMs. 

I'll keep saying it until I'm blue in the face - the GOP is stupid of they keep allowing the mainstream media to control their debates. These debates are supposed to help GOP voters choose their presidential candidate, but the Dem loving media uses them to embarrass Republicans. The GOP should control the format, choose the moderators, choose the subject matter to be discussed, and then let the media broadcast them if they wish. There's no reason to hand the keys to the nomination to the media which has a vested interest in choosing a bad candidate or undermining a good one.
