The erosion of journalistic ethics eroded well before bloggers, et al
In 1985 55% believed reporting was accurate but in 10 years it dropped to 35% and today is now at 25%
In 1985 50% believed news organization were biased. 10 years later it was 675 and today it is down to77%
So I don't blame Newt for the manner in which he addressed this reporter. clearly it was to damage Newt.
We dont know what happened between these two and frankly I have always ignored drawing opinion about other people's personal lives.
I do believe at this point that Newt is the only candidate who can bury Obama and will repeal ObamaCare, grow the economy and reset our defense and foreign policies. and right now that is what my family, my country and I need and i am not going to let any news organiztion caused me to lose focus with silliness

I really don't care what you or the rest of the nation thinks of the media. It is my opinion that the far right has used the media as a whipping boy in order to deflect any allegations made by them as "media bias". I will concede some media bias, but not to the extent the pols and their consultants would have us beleive for their benefit. But, be that as it may, the media did not sanction Gingrich for ethical violations and fine him $300,000 to the tune of a 395 to 28 vote of his peers.
