Akin's supporters and talking heads keep blaming "MSNBC's(or CNN's) viewers" or "the liberal media" in general about Akin's troubles, but almost every reporter I've watched has challenged this stance as incorrect. Republicans are the ones calling for Akin to step down, not Missouri Democrats. I think the Democrats want him to stay in!
Point being, this common Republican manipulation is being thrown back at them, and they're unsure what talking point to default to. Republican cognitive confusion is fun to watch, and I hope more reporters seize on this tactic in future upcoming gaffes and scandals.
