They hung on Palin's every word (salad), and did their best to minimize Obama/Biden.

Boss' orders.

and they are completely lying.

Peter Alexander started his segment saying that Ryan is catching up to Obama. It's disgusting. Obama is trouncing him in OH

Those two people are walking across. I watched the Obama videos, and there is a huge difference in the crowd number. I watched the Rmoney video, and the camera NEVER lets you see the back of the crowd. And we are to believe this race is close. And if Rmoney's rally was today, that makes it all the worse. A lot of people don't work on Saturday if they have a job. Obama's crowds were during the weekdays. Oh but it's tied. Yeah right.
