The media will do anything to avoid being characterized as racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic or any other politically incorrect label. Attacks on Christianity; whether it be in the form of Main Stream Protestant beliefs, Catholicism, Charismatic, Mormonism or any other branch are OK.

The media will relentlessly attack Mitt Romney because he does not fir their idea of political correctness.

I believe a good offense is a good defense. So I read Progressive and/or liberal publications, in addition to many, many other genre, to keep up with their thoughts on issues and see where Obama is headed with his agenda.

The Obama supporters and independents fed-up with politics as usual, aka, Tea Party, see Romney as more of the same, big business tax cuts, moderate to liberal leaning. I'm not saying he is any of this. He really needs to realize this image problem and work with think-tanks to protect against this or he'll be another 0ld line RINO if he's put up against Obama.
