Related: About this forumIm not sure what the hell is going on
but I just got home turn on MSNBC &Alex Witt and she's chirping that NH is tied OHIO the Prezup only up by 2 and PA tied and saying how close it is now.
I never understood the narrative that the MSA is liberal...f-king joke... cherry picking close polls at the midnight hour......The Ohio and PA ones are newspapers...

(2,140 posts)You may have something there...Over the past few weeks,I've wondered about that myself....
I think a bigger motivator might be them encouraging voters to be part of a landslide....I think we all might be surprised at how much SHIT gets swept out,tuesday...The thought that my little vote will be part of it is quite tantalizing....

(12 posts)I half wonder if they think having a "close race" helps with turnout versus a blowout.

(69 posts)means their ratings go up and up and up. They need to report not spin. I do believe they are trying to motivate the dems but damn, I am tired of being nervous and want to hear the real news. I am so thankful I found the Democratic Underground a few weeks ago, this is the only that that is helping me stay sane.

(143 posts)1. They are now owned by Comcast. Comcast's has always supported Republicans.
2. They have had relative success in the ratings. Meaning they are beating CNN. Thus, while they were a little niche network in 2008 and prior. They are now fighting for the ratings. And have a vested interest in making it a close suspenseful race that will bring in viewers.

(3,333 posts)Media narratives are driven by single polls, while ignoring all others.
It's how they do things.
It's flat out stupidity on their part, designed to obfuscate what's really happening.
