Showing nothing =/ selective editing. I understand why NBC didn't show it, because it destroys the "objectivity" of the so-called fact-checkers. The entire interview is the weasel Williams trying to get a "gotcha" moment from a guy who is miles ahead of him intellectually. It's hilarious.
good thing NBC is the only network or news show that A: does this practice and B: controls the fact checkers
Neither Paul Ryan nor Mitt Romney are going to get a fair shake from some networks, so they're simply going to have to figure out a way to go over the heads of the media. By the way, how great is it to hear a candidate speak who actually understands the budget? One of the things I loved about Clinton on many policies was how in the weeds he would get. He would certainly spin things his way, but you had a sense he knew the topics about which he was speaking. I look at our current President and I don't have that same confidence.
NBC tried to help him by not showing that boring interview. Ryan kept trying to talk over the interviewer. If you want something electrifying, try this. http://sportstwo.com/threads/221203-DNC?p=2856034&viewfull=1#post2856034
Clinton was/is a wonk. Paul Ryan is like that as well. Obama was portrayed and sold as a wonk, but he has turned out not to be. Physically, there is no way he could be - the dude just spends way too much time playing basketball, golf and other games and watching sports. His current information can only be mostly superficial. If you don't read massive amounts of reports, you can't keep up or be current. Obama has turned out to be pretty bad combination of someone who is very confident that they know more than most everyone else in the room, when if fact, that is the furthest thing from the truth. Bush, for all his many, many, many faults, never fell into that trap. Sure he was the "decider", he knew someone had to make a decision, but he didn't presume to know all about everything.
The Chief Decision-Maker didn't even know about the word "decision-maker." ...and some people defend his intelligence...
Since the interview is simply more lies by Ryan and highlights the fact that he has stonewalled every attempt for progress for the last 3 years, and he calls Romney "Mort", I'd say they just didn't want to rub salt in his wounds.
What a bunch of horseshit. From the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...24afe8-fb49-11e1-b153-218509a954e1_story.html Obama the would-be wonk, can't be bothered to attend "school" every day. Of course, that is because he is so fucking brilliant (according to the majority of the press) that he has all data in the world downloaded into his brain each night, so he can skip the meetings and play golf instead.
If you believe the media doesn't have a largely liberal bent, I don't know what to tell you. We'll just agree to disagree. As for Gov. Romney and Rep. Ryan, I'm not feeling sorry for them in the least. Those are the rules of the game. They know it and have to find a way to deal with the reality. Just like when you play the L*kers, you need to understand sometimes it's 8 on 5; when you hold right-of-center positions, you have to understand that you won't always get a fair hearing. It's not intentional; the media's worldview that taints their assumptions.
Interesting new algorithm to calculate IQ. How about attendance at your National Guard job during the Vietnam War? How does Denny dominate this board with a plethora of conservative articles? Does he write them himself?
You've now established presidents attending daily briefings as a likely cause for the recession. No wonder Obama avoids them.
