I noticed that MSNBC will begin covering the election tomorrow
and running right through the election. Of course CNN and the others won't be left behind.Is this the final effort of the corporate media to sway opinions to re-elect Repubs? We'll see. the media might be as desperate as the Repubs.

2. That's exactly why they paint it as a horserace
.. they want drama... they want ratings

it doesn't serve them well to count out the republicans.. yet
they want a close call.. to keep people watching to very end
(and to maximize advertising revenue)

It's all fucking entertainment.
Journalism died decades ago.

5. It Media bias but it will never change
The corporate media could certainly have an impact on this election duirng this final week of Republican rhetoric..We'll see. But no doubt some of the ads being aired for the Repukes would be rejected if the Democrats were running the same caliber of ad.

4. Apparently you have not been watching CNN.
I consider them MSM & they have been running a series called "Broken Government" which in no way has helped the Repukes.

7. That was an exception
They blamed the Democrats for partisan bickering though.They side with the Repuke's point of view most of the time. When they have Senators or congressmen as guests the Repuke always has the last word..
