MITTENS GOES GASBAG RADIO

(h/t Steve Benen)

Mitt Romney made the following preposterous statement:
“We are only inches away from ceasing to be a free market economy.”
The AP and David Corn correctly took Mittens to the woodshed but how many of our major news sources will do the same? I did LexiNexis search and I only found one newspaper that corrected Mittens:
St. Petersburg Times (Florida)
