Rachel Maddow and Andrea Mitchell just did a good job taking apart Romney's position on the Blunt

bill and access for women to birth control being decided by their bosses. Andrea pointed out that aside from her and Rachel and one or two others, noone else is reporting on this.

I'm willing to help a good informative graphic go viral or a clip of that segment of Rachel's show if some creative tech savvy person could get something together. I keyboard and cut and past but graphics are not a skill that I have gotten down. I think we need straight forward language and no cutesy made up words. Just the facts.

And we make sure we react to the information to call attention to it. Make it viral. Get it to trend on Twitter. Bubble it up to the top. Make the wheel squeak. I'm beyond caring about the media. Technology isn't the only reason news media is caving.

Sometimes she can be on and then other times she's just smack your head partisan.

leans right. And I think sometimes she's more than obsessed with maintaining her contact list or place on the Georgetown cocktail party circuit.

She's very defensive about economic issues because she knows full well that her hubby played a role in the destruction of the economy, or at least she knows that a ton of people think that even if she doesn't personally believe it (but I bet she does).

But on social issues, she is indeed fairly liberal.
