Day 2: Rand Paul calls out the Media

[Highway Star]

This is going to be a great primary season!

Senator Rand Paul sees a bit of a gotcha game going on with some journalists who cover him.

And after a brusque interview with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie on the “Today” show on Wednesday morning, the Kentucky senator, who just announced his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, was not making any apologies.

In an interview in New Hampshire with The New York Times, after the appearance on “Today,” Mr. Paul said he gets tired of questions with the built-in premise that he has contradicted himself. Questions, he said, like “‘O.K., well we understand that you’ve been beating your wife for years and you’ve flip-flopped on 25 different issues and you used to believe this and you used to believe that,'” he said. “That isn’t journalism.”

But he does realize it’s only the second day of his campaign, and the questions aren’t going to get any nicer. Right?

“It may gear ‘em up even more if they see it annoys me,” he said.

But Mr. Paul, who also drew criticism in February after a testy exchange during an interview with a CNBC television anchor, is looking at the upside.

“I don’t complain too much,” he said. “We do get covered. It’s better to get covered than not covered.”

Paul doesn't have a chance.

Paul doesn't have a chance.

Ironicly, he's the only republican that has any sort of chance in the general election.

Now the GOP is beyond mad. Should be very interesting how this all plays out. If there's one group that Paul could throw under the bus, the GOP congress is a very solid choice.
