"It’s hard to believe that anyone working at such a well-established Republican media arm would be outwardly anti-Santorum."
That's a pretty ridiculous and insulting thing to say, betabeat. There are lots of Republicans who are not major proponents of violating womens' rights and other nasty socially conservative measures.
I don't think your reading that correctly. The important point is 'outwardly' and 'well-established Republican media arm'. Overall the Republicans have been vary good about staying on message and even if they don't support a candidate will vary rarely badmouth a fellow republican outside of primary's.
You're probably right about how the sentence should be read. Of course, under that logic, the incident at hand was not "outward," anyway. It was subtle. So, yeah... poor writing.
