Rick Santorum, who has previously grumbled that Ron Paul was acting as a wing man for Mitt Romney, has now complained that the Drudge Report is backing the former Massachusetts governor.
In an interview with Bill Cunningham of 700AM WLW out of Cincinnati, Santorum was asked whether he had hung up on Scott Sloan, another of the station’s hosts, on Thursday. “It’s on The Drudge Report that you hung up on Scott Sloan,” Cunningham said.
Santorum responded: “That’s baloney. I was driving and we lost the call and I called him back two minutes later and we finished the conversation. Drudge, again showing for Romney, gets the facts wrong.”
Sloan later said that it was a “bald face lie” that Santorum called him back.
Allegations that Matt Drudge’s eponymous website is sweet on Romney have been around for months and have gained traction since voting in the GOP race began on January 3rd. Certainly, the proponderance of stories that are favourable towards Romney has been striking at times, as detailed by the Huffington Post’s Sam Stein here.

I don’t particularly care for either one of these above mentioned candidates. However, Romney is the next closest thing to Obama and every and all media outlets and reporters will lead this Country to believe that Romney is front runner with hopes that others will jump on the Romney wagon.
The liberals know that if by chance Obama doesn’t get enough fraudulent votes from ACORN and other organizations and they can’t resurrect enough people from the dead to vote on election day. Then Romney will be the next best thing to Obama to further push their agenda’s. The majority of American’s are easily manipulated and controlled with little or no insight to the motives of the news media. The media knows there must be a Republican candidate running against Obama, they have to try to convince and manipulate that Romney is best suited for the job. The liberal media has to choose the lesser of the evils between Romney, Santorum, Newt and Paul, then all they need to do is herd the sheeple towards that candidate.
