It might sound ridiculous, but Time magazine writer Michael Crowley actually grumbled in an article on Monday that the GOP presidential candidate is “One-Note Mitt” Romney, whose campaign defines this year's election as merely “a referendum on Obama's handling of the economy.”

MSNBC Once Again Ignores Inconvenient Facts in Pushing 'Block the Vote
It seems facts are an inconvenient nuisance to anchors at MSNBC, especially when they get in the way of their favored narratives.
