I saw this poll number at bottom of screen on MSNBC.
Is this good or bad?

(8,377 posts)All of the coverage is about irrelevant things. Probably only 2% of the debate coverage actually deals with the consequential issues dealt with during the debates. And they only stumble into that accidentally as they are trying to show who laughed or who drank water or who looked at his notes.
We were a much more informed country when there was 60 minutes of news coverage each evening.

(11,076 posts)how the press burps it back to the public. Sure wish they would poll the MSM so we would know how they are going to respond. Ya know they know how it will go.
Personally I say we have one more debate so they have to keep us coming back for more. It wouldn't do for the American people to have a week without worrying about this election. I call a draw from the press. It all will hinge on debate # 3.

Also I heard Ryan may be out part of this season with a sprained ankle.
