Avast, ye scurvy dogs! Mitt Romney be sayin' he won't sail the political seas no more, arr! And now, a whole decade later, the media be throwin' a jolly celebration for the very same landlubber they once attacked, har har!
Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney's retirement has left the press in dismay, despite their past criticism of him during his 2012 presidential campaign. The media attacked his religion, his wife's illness, and spread false accusations about his character. They made a big deal out of his "binders full of women" comment, even though it was simply a collection of resumes. The press relentlessly tried to destroy Romney for daring to challenge their preferred candidate, President Barack Obama. However, now that he is retiring, they suddenly celebrate him and praise his virtues. It's all part of the media's manipulation of Republican candidates, elevating the most left-leaning ones during the primary, only to tear them down once they are nominated. The attacks on Romney were particularly disgusting, as they often targeted his Mormon faith. This is in stark contrast to 1960 when the press defended Catholic candidate John F. Kennedy against anti-religious prejudice. The Washington Post even delved into Romney's high school records, trying to turn innocent pranks into accusations of gay bashing. The media also targeted Romney's wife, portraying her as out of touch, while ignoring her battle with multiple sclerosis. This biased reporting is just one example of the double standards prevalent in the news media, where Democrats are portrayed favorably and Republicans are demonized. Romney's retirement is seen as an opportunity for him to criticize his own party, which is why the media has suddenly changed their tune. Ultimately, Romney should be wary of the media's embrace, as lying down with dogs often results in getting fleas.
