In these last three weeks before the election, the media is into it's "horse race" phase.

If at all possible, it must be reported that either side really could win, possibly in a landslide! Outlier polls must be breathlessly characterized as "developing trends" and arguably mentally ill extremists must be interviewed as "alternatives".

JUST KEEP WATCHING, because, you know: ratings!------market share!

because of 'ratings'. He says the MSM will help him win because they want to make sure there will be good 'ratings' because he brings in the 'ratings' for the MSM.

His act is old and stale now. Even Fox News dumped his rallies because they were drawing fewer viewers than their regular programming, and thus costing Fox News ad dollars.
