On successive days recently both Romney and Obama addressed the Society of Newspaper Editors. Obama allowed photographers to get close. He was loose and personable. Romney kept photographers 150 feet away while he spoke, and entered the room to a Sousa march. It was off-putting to the press covering the event. He surely knows they are in the tank for Obama, and will continue to be, no matter how personable he becomes. He also knows that the press has lost the respect and attention of the American people. If people buy newspapers, it is for the coupons that will enable them to get 25 cents off their chips at the grocery store. Yet, the media frame the story that is put out to the American people.
