General Hypocrisy

The recent "bombshell" in the election race this week has been the exposure of an undercover video showing Gov. Romney at a private fundraiser where he said, among other things, that 47% of the country does not pay income taxes and they will probably not vote for him.  Considering the realities of the electorate, this should not be news.  People who do not pay income taxes are generally divided in to two groups, social security recipients and low income individuals.  Low income voters mostly voting for the Democrats and most Social Security recipients voting for the Republican.

The outrage in the media is the most disturbing part of this story since their favorite candidate said nearly the exact same thing (in reference to Romney voters) fairly recently (see above video).  It is a clear example of the brutal double standard and obvious media malpractice when it comes to the media's coverage of most political topics.
