ROMNEY Banking On It: "Reporters/News Outlets Will Prove UNABLE To Keep Up With Skope/Volume Of LIES

This sort of thing, by the way, is exactly what the Romney campaign is banking on: that influential reporters and news outlets will prove unable to keep up with the sheer scope and volume of falsehoods the campaign uncorks daily, or just won’t care enough to reckon with what’s actually going on here. Again, this is a test: what should media figures do when one campaign has decided that there is literally no set of boundaries it needs to follow when it comes to the veracity of the assertions that form the foundation of its whole argument?

Big mistake if you ask me.
Hardly a media mention goes by recently
without a mention of some lie or deception
from the Romney team.
But keep on lying Mitt and see what it gets ya.

cannot be independently substantiated; readers need to fact check for themselves all statements made by candidate.
