If a bunch of journalists from the country’s most prominent media outlets played a friendly game of beach flag football with Barack Obama, it's hard to overestimate the magnitude of the meltdown that would have inevitably occurred in the always-on-red-alert Drudge/FOX News/Breitbart universe. Nary a peep was heard from those quarters, however, when Mitt Romney sauntered out on a sunny Sunday afternoon last weekend in south Florida for some quick fun. He was to engage in a good-natured scrimmage with reporters from the New York Times and elsewhere.

Pause and simply try to imagine the sheer scope of the ensuing freakout if this had been Obama. That's not to say playing flag football on the beach with Obama would’ve somehow been OK; in fact, playing flag football on the beach seems a rather inappropriate activity for the media to undertake with any presidential candidate, especially given that this was just one day before the final presidential debate. While Secret Service agents played offensive line for Ann Romney and smiling reporters scored goofy touchdowns, deadly skirmishes continued across Syria, Beirut was in crisis after the assassination of a top-ranking official, and relations between Iran and Israel deteriorated further. If nothing else, the journalists’ afternoon of beach fun was questionable “optics,” as they say in media-ese.
