Benen: Chronicling Mitt's Mendacity (aka, Romney has nothing to run on but lies)

[janedrake]

Steve Benen's excellent weekly chronology of Mitt Romney's stunning lies (this series is also a great resource for factoid links):

Quote:David Corn covered Mitt Romney's speech to the Newspaper Association of America on Wednesday, and came away gobsmacked -- shocked not only by the Republican candidate's dishonesty, but by the larger context.

Romney stood before a gathering of journalists. He made a series of incorrect and dishonest accusations. And he was not hooted out of the room. He faced no penalty for this -- just a few slaps from those pesky, fact-checking schoolmarms. He will not be banned from similar forums. The politerati is not up in arms. His campaign rolled on. And this may well sum up one of the fundamental problems with American politics.

That is why the media sucks. We need more Steve Benens and less of the so called journalists who will let a lie sit there uncontested. This was an excellent piece.
