ABC news

I saw the report on ABC news about this and it was pathetic.

Among my complaints..

They only mentioned the embassy was concerned about hurting the feelings of Muslims not mentioning that the embassy actually they were concerned about any speech that offended any religion. Viewers were left feeling it was only Muslims the embassy was concerned about.

They totally failed to make it clear that Romney and Rince Priebus said Obama was "sympathetic to the terrorists" and Romney said Obama had apologized to terrorists. Totally false statements that ABC ignored.

They made the entire thing seem like just just a bit of bad timing on Romney's part and the entire thing was just another political fight.

Romney got off without barely a scratch and it seemed like the only one criticizing him was the President in the middle of a campaign as they showed footage of him criticizing Romney..

They wound up saying questions would be asked about the president's handling of US security..nothing about questions asked of Romney.

I just saw this and I have to say I doubt this will hurt Romney at this point...

Shit job of giving the full story..hopefully later the full extent of Romneys screw up will become apparent..but not today on ABC news

Just one man's opinion..
