Mitt Romney's Energy Program

Today in New Mexico, Mitt Romney outlined his program to make North America energy independent by 2020. The campaign released a 21 page document filled with specifics at the same time that Romney outlined the highlights in his speech. The results of this plan would be the creation of over three million new jobs in the USA. It also would grow the American economy by about 3.5 percent. In other words, the plan is a home run. So here's the question: how was the Romney plan covered by the main stream media?

Here is the answer. ABC has no mention of any of this on the air or on its website. Nothing, nada, zilch! ABC does have a big story about Bain Capital however. CNN follows the ABC example and says absolutely nothing about the Romney plan for energy. The big story on CNN is that Bill Clinton did a commercial for Obama. CBS has a story about Romney's energy program. I had to search the CBS website for three minutes to find the story, however. Then, when I got there, I found a story about how Romney wants to unleash drillers. There was little mention of the many points of Romney's plan. MSNBC had coverage of the Romney plan on its website. It was also hidden on the site, but at least it was there. The idea that NBC is the only main stream media company to cover this big story tells you all that you need to know about media bias.
