Paul Krugman hammered the media over its handling of the first
presidential debate, specifically what he said was its failure to
fact-check Mitt Romney.
President Obama's performance on Wednesday dominated the roundtable discussion on ABC News' "This Week" Sunday. Instead of piling criticism on Obama like other pundits,
however, Krugman took aim at factual inaccuracies made by Romney during
the debate. Watch his remarks at the 6:39 mark in the clip above.
"I don’t know whether to blame Lehrer or the president but it was
kind of amazing cause Romney was not only saying things that are not
true, he was saying things that his own campaign had previously said
weren’t true," he said.
The Nobel Prize-winning economist alleged that Romney displayed
"contempt" for the press and assumed that "the news media will not cover
me on this. As long as I say it forcefully, they'll say I won."
