CNN camera bias. Rough on Palin. Mitt’s cadre.

(Page 2 of 3)

br> Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney may be putting on a brave face for the cameras after losing out to Gov. Sarah Palin for the veepship, but his ever-loyal cadre of aides and consultants and conservative media types continue to work for him. /p>

Almost every critical remark made about Palin on a recent briefing call about her selection came from political consultants with ties to Romney. Those comments were planted, says one, because they knew that reporters would be on the call.

p> PRACTICE AND POLISH br> Sen. Barack Obama ‘s pitch perfect response regarding the announcement of an impending birth in the Palin family (“my mother had me when she was 18”) was not without a series of edits and rehearsals, according to some Obama insiders. /p>

“For tough questions we know he will get to questions we plant with reporters that we want asked, [senior campaign staff] will rehearse [Obama’s] answer with him.”

The goal: to get his inflection and tone, as well as the content, just right.
