FEMA and JournoLists

The toothless old media is still trying to show it has some bite. Mitt Romney, who has been critical of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), was peppered at an Ohio campaign stop with questions about his plan for the agency from “JournoLists” types all the while with millions without electricity and their homes underwater.
