Mitt Romney Food Drive Controversy and Media Backlash
Mitt Romney faced criticism from MSNBC and BuzzFeed for converting a campaign event into a Hurricane Sandy relief food drive. Reports alleged the campaign purchased $5,000 worth of supplies from Walmart to use as props for the cameras. President Obama subsequently made remarks suggesting that professional organizations like the Red Cross should handle relief, which was interpreted as a slight against Romney's efforts.
