<title>Clinton  criticized over relinquishment of Socks, but reports ignore Romney  dog-roofing</title>
<link>http://mediamatters.org/items/200710220005</link>
<description>Several media outlets seized on an article in &#x3C;em&#x3E;The Atlantic&#x3C;/em&#x3E; that mentioned that former 
President Bill and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton gave their family cat, Socks, to 
Betty Currie -- with one outlet questioning whether Currie&#x27;s adoption of Socks 
reveals Hillary Clinton to be &#x22;cold and calculating.&#x22; But these media outlets 
made no mention of Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney&#x27;s 
reported 
treatment of his own 
family pet, Seamus, an Irish setter, 
whom Romney reportedly 
placed &#x22;in a dog carrier&#x22; that was &#x22;attached ... to the station wagon&#x27;s roof 
rack&#x22; during the Romney family&#x27;s &#x22;annual 12-hour family trek from Boston to 
Ontario.&#x22;</description>
