Today’s Romney/Obama Mix Up On Fox News

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on December 19, 2011 · Flag

On America’s Newsroom this morning, Bill Hemmer played a clip of what he said would be Mitt Romney talking about his best friend. He went on to play a clip of Romney talking about President Barack Obama. “My mistake," Hemmer said. "I thought that was about Ann Romney. Clearly, that was about Barack Obama who is not his best friend.” This comes less than a week after a Fox News graphic put a photo of Obama in Romney’s place in a lineup of GOP presidential candidates.” Oops.

BFFs? Fox News Plays Wrong Clip, Making Mitt Romney's 'Best Friend' Barack Obama

On Monday morning's America's Newsroom, host Bill Hemmer was speaking on Mitt Romney's viability as a candidate. Hemmer mentioned that Romney was interviewed by Chris Wallace on Sunday, and, in the course of the discussion, Hemmer noted that, "at the end of that interview, Chris gave Romney the opportunity to talk about his personal life, which is frankly something we don't hear an awful lot about.

Wow these attempts to equate Romney with Obama in the minds of their viewers are so simple, and uninspired. Are all the good propagandists at Fox already off on vacation? they must be leaving things in the hands of interns.

Goodness, Bill — if you wanted to play a clip of Romney that was supposed to be a “mix-up”, you should have queued up this 1994 speech at a business roundtable in MA, where he argues for strict campaign finance reform:

Romney in 1994:

“I would like to have campaign spending limits…. I also would abolish PACS… I don’t like the influence of money … Lobbyists I want to register, I want to know who they are.”

Romney today:

As of last August, Romney received more lobbyist contributions than the rest of the GOP field combined. His largest single source of campaign revenue is Wall Street bankers, and a massive 10 percent of all American billionaires donated to Romney’s campaign.
