Isn't election day media coverage supposed to avoid partisanship?

[ClusterFreak]

Have I missed something here? Everywhere I turn the channel today, I'm seeing pundits and reporters rehash the campaign debates? Isn't discussion on election day supposed to be limited to poll turnout, and generally anything that couldn't be perceived as influencing someone which way to vote??

Colour me confused.:wtf:

1. That was my impression. n/t

2. I can't watch TV today

I'm a bundle of nerves waiting for the polls to close. :scared:

[meppie-meppie not]

4. they are already talking about what Harper will have to do as PM..

how he needs to get more women in office...think I'm going to be ill :(

3. They will be pushing the conservative win meme

Any way they can. I haven't watched, just making a totally warranted assumption.

5. Totally!!

Indeed!

6. So the media has actually been pushing the Cons side today?

Is that right?

[ClusterFreak]

7. Yeah...

But moreover, allowing ongoing partisan hackery (apologies to Jon Stewart) during the day of the election. Sickening....and as far as I know...an ugly new twist to election day media coverage in this country.
