Interesting. Minutes the mainstream media influence polls at this point.

[Mass]

Here are the number of minutes the media spent on various GOP candidates at that point. Not surprisingly, with the exception of Kasich making it into the top 10, it is strikingly parallel to the list of candidates making it into the debate.

Also, the coverage of yesterday's debate is maddening. It is all about the fact that Trump was not there.

Sad reflection of the state of our economy, and for those who think it is fun because it is the Republican mess, the coverage of the Democratic side of the debate goes the same way, hence the lousy coverage of Clinton and the non-existing coverage of O'Malley and Webb.
