The media's going to screw this up again.

Last debate the takeaway should have been Romney's lies. Instead, the narrative became Romney's "bold, aggressive command" of the debate. This time, they'll ignore the substance again, and complain about biden's smiles/laughs/interjections. Last time Romney "won" by moving to the center on a dime. This time Ryan will "draw" by standing his ground on conservative ideology that was apparently unpopular enough for Romney to run from.

Just watch.

And that is why the corporate media's ratings are tanking. We're sick of their spin. We're sick of them trying to define realities that serve their agenda and contradict what the people really think.

Social media is blowing up in praise of Joe Biden. Even many Republicans are saying that Joe won.

So, the media can toe the line for whoever and whatever they want. America will continue to gravitate to online media, Facebook, twitter and others to track what's really going on.

By spinning for their corporate masters, they are making themselves irrelevant.
