Two high placed Romney advisers divulge plan to avoid real journalists and focus on disseminating information through rabid Right Wing blogs.

Apparently Romney is following in the high heeled footsteps of Sarah Palin and will avoid the risk of being asked any real questions, by limiting his media access to Right Wing propaganda outlets like the Drudge Report, Breitbart.com, and of course Fox News.

This from Breitbart.com (Don't feel the need to visit and give them hits unless you truly doubt the source of this post.):

Thursday's reaction to the Supreme Court decision on Obamacare was a textbook example of how the new media’s biggest players helped galvanize the center-right political movement. And it’s no surprise what website served as the catalyst for most of the energy: The Drudge Report. 

"Drudge is the single most powerful force in the media today,” said Zac Moffat, Digital Director of the Romney Campaign. Lenny Alcivar, campaign spokesman, agreed: “The Governor's simple message yesterday was, ‘If we want to repeal Obamacare, we have to replace the president.’ When Drudge highlighted that quote as a headline linked to the Weekly Standard, it began the unified message across the board on the center-right.” 

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Moffat and Alcivar discussed how websites like Breitbart and Drudge influence the way their campaign receives and delivers the news. 

Moffat revealed, “I have two windows constantly up on my screen all day long, Twitter and the Drudge Report.” 

Alcivar, who took a leave from the groundbreaking and influential Hynes Communications to work for the Romney campaign, sees a major shift in how the media works:

"When this election is over, one of the lessons that will be learned by the mainstream media is that they no longer have a toe-hold on how Americans receive their news. Never before – in a way that has taken Democrats off stride – have we seen the confluence of an aggressive online community, led by Breitbart, and an aggressive campaign team not willing to cede an inch of ground to Democrats. This combination has created a new political reality. We no longer allow the mainstream media to define the political realities in America. The rise of Breitbart, Drudge and others, combined with an aggressive Romney campaign is a powerful tool in the arsenal of the conservative movement. If I talk to Breitbart about an issue, thousands more will hear our message than if we give a quote to one of the hill rags."

As I am sure most of you remember, after Sarah Palin was humiliated on national television by Katie Couric who asked her the trick question. "What newspapers and magazines did you regularly read?," she avoided journalists WHO were not Palin-bots or Fox News employees like the plague.

Since then many Republican have followed suit, in fact some of the GOP presidential field ONLY gave interviews to Fox News and online Right Wing blogs.

And now Mitt Romney, who like Palin is an attractive, photogenic political mannequin with virtually NONE of the qualifications necessary to actually do the job for which he is currently running, is also attempting to hide his inadequacies by making sure to only give interviews to "journalists" who will never bring them up.

Essentially Mitt Romney is a coward, and with this decision has made crystal clear what differentiates him from President Obama.

Obama does not run from a fight. And has essentially reentered the lion's den again and again.

P.S. Just a reminder that it was Andrew Breitbart himself who labeled THIS blog"defunct," which I guess goes to prove just how good HIS journalistic skills were now doesn't it?
