I know. I didn't think they had an epiphany; they know they're being dishonest. n/t porphyrian Oct 2012 #3

They couldn't show a 6 point (or whatever) swing back to Obama later in the week when the 3-day debate post-debate poll dropped out of the averages.

Kind of interesting if the story becomes Gallup putting out those 3-day numbers when they already knew that yesterday destroyed the tie narrative.

I'd love to see that happen.

Won't hold my breath, but I'd sure love it.

On the radio driving into Montreal today; they were reporting 47% tie and playing all kinds of Romney clips from his speech today; not a word from Obama did I hear, just some rebuttals from his campaign.

But rather than compare apples and apples, they went with the "it's a tie!" bullshit. It may have "tied" post debate, but that is gone now.

It's just like the negative "bump" that Rmoney had after the convention that they didn't report or were reluctant to report about.

But I don't!!! And I sure don't appreciate the media trying to turn something as serious and important as an election into a horserace just to get their ratings! Where the hell can you get accurate news that isn' ratings/profit driven????
