Romney says ‘vast left-wing conspiracy’ in media is attacking him

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said a “vast left-wing conspiracy” in the media was working with the Obama campaign to coordinate attacks against him.

“There will be an effort by the quote vast left-wing conspiracy to work together to put out their message and to attack me,” Romney said in an interview with Breitbart.com. “They're going to do everything they can to divert from the issue people care about, which is a growing economy that creates more jobs and rising incomes. That's what people care about.” The media has been a favorite target of the GOP presidential candidates so far in the primary season, particularly with Newt Gingrich, who on several occasions earlier in the cycle blasted debate moderators for questions he deemed inappropriate. After one such incident, Romney criticized Gingrich for attacking the media.
