Another Romney lie: a campaign event masquerading as a compassionate response to Hurricane Sandy

Reporters Shoot Straight, Destroy Romney's Fake "Storm Relief" Event
By David Harris Gershon, October 30, 2012

It should come as no surprise that Mitt Romney's "storm relief event" today in Ohio was a campaign event masquerading as a compassionate response to Hurricane Sandy.

However, what is surprising? That those mainstream pool reporters traveling with the Romney campaign reported the exact same thing in real time on Twitter.

The consensus? Mitt's "storm relief event" in Ohio, which had already been planned as a campaign rally previously at the exact same location, was exactly what you'd expect it to be: a political rally masquerading as disaster relief.

When mainstream pool reporters traveling with a political campaign shoot straight and call out inauthenticity, you know some serious bullshit was underfoot. When those same reporters who hobnob with the campaign and dine on their catered food shoot daggers on Twitter, aghast at what they're seeing?

You know Romney has gone beyond desperate. In Ohio.
