Romney Decides It’s More Politically Expedient Not to Ban the Press
After being severely criticized for his decision to ban the press from his meeting with mega-rich right wing donors in Jerusalem, Mitt Romney has flipped, flopped, and reversed his decision: Romney to Allow Press Into Israel Fundraiser After All.
JERUSALEM — Mitt Romney’s campaign has reversed a decision to not allow the media into a fundraiser here Monday morning, bowing to reporters’ demand that they be allowed to record the Republican’s address to some of his top donors.
Romney press aide Rick Gorka told the candidate’s travelling press corps Sunday afternoon that they’d be allowed to have a pool reporter at the breakfast event in the King David hotel.
