The vast majority of the attacks towards Romney come from the sources I mentioned before. The Globe, the SL Times, and the Herald love to throw around the mud. The all important story today reveals that Romney great-great-grandfather(literally) had more than one wife. If that isn't a completely worthless biased story I don't know what is.
The following op-ed piece is typical of the Globe's outlook towards Romney. Although it is "opinion" we all know that their opinions permeate everything they report.

"And speaking of Romney, the malleable Mitt has done so many reversals that the makers of flip-flop commercials will have a field day. Romney is also on the defensive as a Mormon, since many fundamentalists don't consider Mormons Christians. Almost half a century after the civil rights revolution, this should not matter, but that's right-wing politics for you. Romney is having trouble getting out of first gear."
They love to ridicule everything and everyone religious as the author so kindly demonstrates for us. That is simply one of many reasons for which the Globe hates Romney. Another is that he actively fought against the homosexual agenda which the Globe has strongly supported. There is no question whatsoever that the leftist media sources are actively campaigning against Romney in the primaries. GOP bloggers didn't start calling Mitt a "flip-flop", they didn't start polling people on the electability of a "Mormon", they didn't "reveal" different LDS beliefs, they didn't claim "fundamentalists" would never vote a Mormon, etc.................There are too many examples to even try to list them. The point is that the Globe and friends began these conversations. I suppose we should ask ourselves why? Perhaps it is because he is the only one of the top three that they feel is definitely "anti-them".
I believe that it is fine for conservatives to have concerns with Mitt but it is interesting that the liberals would spend more time searching his past than the Goppers. It kinda reveals how they feel about him compared to his opponents.

you should, if you haven't already, make some of these statements in comments to the editor or something else of the like because the article is basically oozing sewage and it needs to be confronted as such. Like the blog!
