At a minimum, reporters should have cut Romney slack on this question, given the complicity of their colleague in creating the confusion. Instead, they pilloried Romney. ?Romney's campaign scrambled to clean up another unforced error by their candidate,? CNN blared, ?after he came out against a controversial amendment pushed by Senate Republicans that would allow employers to opt out of health care coverage they disagree with on moral grounds.? The Associated Press, CBS News, NBC News, the Boston Globe, and many others paraphrased Romney as opposing Blunt?s conscience amendment, ignoring the obvious discrepancy between the amendment and what Romney had said he opposed. ?Romney flips on contraceptives,? crowed the Concord Monitor, headlining an AP dispatch. ABC News said Romney had ?waffled? on Blunt?s proposal. BuzzFeed snipped Heath?s opening reference to Santorum from its video clip of the interview (thereby removing the reporter-generated context that had led Romney astray) and then blamed Romney: ?This the most recent in several instances of Romney wading, apparently unprepared, into a complex, high-profile fight, and getting tangled in the weeds of the policy argument.?
