Candidates Take Break From Attacking Each Other To Go After Media

Candidates Take Break From Attacking Each Other To Go After Media

The presidential candidates and their surrogates took a brief break from attacking each other Thursday to beat up on the media instead.

Bill Clinton, campaigning on his wife's behalf in California, had a testy San Francisco face-off with a reporter he barely knew. Mitt Romney tangled with a reporter - the AP's Glen Johnson, late of the Boston Globe - he knows all too well. And John Edwards' campaign took on the entire press corps, blasting the media for allegedly ignoring the former North Carolina senator this cycle in favor of the flashier Hillary Clinton-Barack Obama duel (and prompting a reprise of the eternal chicken-or-the-egg dilemma of trail reporting: which comes first, the poll numbers or the press coverage?)
