Gingrich Slams "Elite Media" For Focus On "Gossip" Over Substance | RealClearPolitics: Newt Gingrich questions the news media's "judgement" on what stories should be emphasized. "What does it mean to the elite news media that nobody in the country ever walks up to us and raises the questions you raise," Gingrich told NBC's "Today" show.
"Herman Cain, I suspect, is getting far fewer questions from citizens about these kind of things than he is about jobs, about other things, and I just think there’s a huge gap between the gossip that fascinates political reporters and the average person’s concern about the price of housing, the availability of jobs, solving the budget deficit without crushing the middle class. A lot of things that, frankly, the substance level are dramatically more important to most Americans."
Gingrich chides the media for running with thinly-sourced stories, as if that matter more than "every other issue in the campaign."
