I hate the media

3 national polls released today:

The trump friendly La Times Poll that actually shows it tied, which until recently showed trump ahead by 3. This is the one that they normally like to talk about

The NBC poll that shows Clinton up 6

But which one do they go crazy about? The CNN poll that shows him winning by 1 among "likely" voters, although Clinton is winning among all voters in that same poll

Is the reason I hate the media. It says that Clinton's lead has evaporated compared to the same poll in Aug, but it fails to mention that the new poll is based off of "likely" voters, while the one in August was all voters, in which Clinton is still leading.

want. They flat out want Trump to win.
Don't think for one minute that if Hillary falls behind, they will start telling the truth about Trump and start pumping her up.
Ain't going to happen.
