This is cute. Romney suggests a voter tune into Fox News:

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney was campaigning in Washington, Iowa Wednesday when he got an off beat question from one woman in the crowd.

“How do we gag the newspapers …” she asked, speaking so quietly the second half of her question couldn’t be understood. But if her question wasn’t clear, Romney’s advice was.
