Surprisingly favorable.

Wow. Did they air that at 4 am or something? I can't believe CBS would even allow people to say that being rich isn't a bad thing.

The coverage was better and more even handed than most but one commentator did allude to the fact that it was Romney's fault for not creating a more positive narrative when it comes to him being wealthy. 

And what was up with the video about the Zumba sex scandal?

They never mention that stuff in the infomercial, that's for sure?  Sorry, I get easily distracted.

The Zumba sex scandal happened in Maine.

Zumba instructor was running a prostitution ring from her building.

Is it too late to add this to the platform?....

QFT.

Romney is still a major stockholder in Bain Capital.

Bain Capital is a major stockholder of Clear Channel Communications.

Clear Channel is the distribution network for most of the conservative talk radio folks (Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh). 

Conservative talk radio started backing Romney several months prior to the RNC.  I suspect due to influence from investors.

I didn't notice any broad base support for Romney until he was the clear primary winner which also happened to be several months before the RNC.  I don't want to stand in the way of a good conspiracy though.   =D

The press pretty much left Romney alone during the primaries, preferring to take down people like Cain, Perry, et al.

They reckoned Romney would be a softer target.  Beginning with his selection of Ryan for VP, I think that whole strategy began to unravel for them.

IIRC, Hannity was backing Santorum (sp) until he fell out.  After that, Hannity was on-board with Romney.

No, this is the example of Big Media covering its backside.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2012/10/25/CBS-Busts-Obama--and-Itself-Hidden-60-Minutes-Clip-Proves-White-House-Lied-About-Benghazi

Seems Obama said in a CBS interview the embassy was attacked by terrorists on September 12 (the day after it happened) and CBS CUT THE STATEMENT OUT OF THE INTERVIEW.  So during this entire fiasco an storied member of MSM media knew the truth and refused to tell the public.

Another example of how MSM is turning on Obama.  Landslide ahead
