You know the reason why the media doesn't call out one candidate or another when they lie? I'll tell you the answer ...
Toilet Paper.
Well, not EXACTLY Toilet Paper, but the fact that the Media relies on advertisers for its survival, and, because of that, the media wants the widest, and most diverse viewership possible so that products of their advertisers ... Toilet Paper ... gets favorable attention. Translating to sales that are tracked back to the shows audience. Which, in turn, translates into more ads for Toilet Paper bought on the network at premium prices.
This "pay-your-own-way" approach to America's Newsrooms. pretty much instituted back in the 1980s, has de-clawed and de-fanged the Fourth Estate.
So WHY are Romney's lies not called out? Because in an era of hyper partisanship, middle of the road MSM outlets don't want to risk alienating viewers, who will take their eyes elsewhere and undermine the rational of Toilet Paper manufacturers to advertise on their programming.
In short, ignoring Romney's profligate lying is a business decision.
