NYT‘s Jeff Zeleny Reacts To Santorum Outburst: ‘He Clearly Knew The Cameras Were Rolling’

New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny — the one whom Rick Santorum snapped at for asking “bullshit” questions — reacted to the little debacle on CBS This Morning. Rather dismissive, Zeleny said candidates often use the media as a “foil” — and that Santorum full well knew the camera was rolling.
Zeleny had asked, “You said Mitt Romney is the worst Republican in the country. Is that true?” And then came Santorum’s outburst — which he has since defended, claiming you’re not a real Republican until you’ve cursed out a NYT reporter.
Zeleny said he was “simply asking for clarification.” Saying Santorum “can certainly do whatever he would like,” Zeleny went on to say: “It is a very common tactic for Republican presidential candidates, or even Democratic presidential candidates, to try and use the media a foil here. We’ve seen Newt Gingrich do it throughout the campaign season.”
He further observed, Santorum “clearly knew the cameras were rolling here” — and that “he’s very sensitive to these questions.”
Meanwhile, Santorum is now championing his readiness to take on The New York Times.
