Gingrich ahead in Iowa, poll shows; Romney drops to third
Guess who was second and not mentioned in the headline
At least they included his picture this time. Of course it was the obligatory crappiest picture they could find that wouldn’t be completely obvious what they were doing…
I wonder If RP won the presidential nomination if the headline would look something like:
ROMMNEY WINS 2nd PLACE , GINGRICH TAKES 3rd
Notice the hands on JJ’s pic post.
Newt resembles a doctor during a physical … cough!
Ron and Mitt, well they might get hairy palms.
Subtle but subconciously effective?
Headlines should be: A 70+ doctor from Texas terrifies the mainstream media so much they pretend he doesn’t exist. The fact they don’t even bother calling him a “crackpot” anymore means either they think he has such a substantial following now that disparaging him may be a bad business choice or they finally understood the concept of “blowback”.
Anyway I think what you are seeing here today is the GOP candidate for 2012: Gingrich for president and Romney for vice president. Obama can breath a little easier now.
Here’s the original thread that followed and compiled the blackout backlash.
