The only entity that benefits from our corrupt insane election process IS the MSM

When the country is at the place where Maher, Colbert, and Stewart are the most honest and accurate presenters of news on their COMEDY shows rather than the people on so-called network news shows we're screwed.

They've had their heads stuck up Romney's ass for three months and can't recognize the difference between natural gases and bullshit.

They are hacks who are more interested in creating a narrative that makes their jobs more interesting and relevant. This race is close enough without them lying about a non existent momentum for the guy who is NOT AHEAD. You have to wonder why they don't get embarrassed about being wrong every year.

Romney's campaign uses that to push the meme that they're winning. And an uncritical media, many of whom work for right-leaning networks anyway, just go along with the story.

Nate Silver does it by the numbers, just plugging in the raw data and reporting the results, regardless of what they show. And he focuses on the state polling, as is appropriate given that we elect our president using the electoral college. So no matter what conservatives might say, it's his numbers to look at.

In fact the newz is entertainment now, there is no credibility. They have a vested interest in a horse race narrative because the corporations they work for are taking in something like 1B dollars in political ad revenue. They have a vested interest in keeping the republican party in the race, because again the corporations that own all of the mass media outlets believe they will do better under a romney administration than an obama administration.

They could not care less about 'not influencing the election', in fact they are doing their best to sell us that lying sack of shit as a viable candidate.

For example, consider debate one and the media 'analysis' and debate three and the media 'analysis'. I will assert that Obama's performance in debate one was approximately the same as (and actually in my opinion much better than) Romney's performance in debate three. I will concede, for now, that Romney 'won' debate one and Obama 'won' debate three. However, the mass media consensus was that Obama, by not engaging with Romney's all out offensive in debate one, disgraced himself. A similar refusal to engage by Romney in debate three, while having his ass repeatedly handed to him on a plate by Obama, was instead described as 'presidential'.

If you do not see what is going on with our punditocracy you are blind.
