You may have something there...Over the past few weeks,I've wondered about that myself....

I think a bigger motivator might be them encouraging voters to be part of a landslide....I think we all might be surprised at how much SHIT gets swept out,tuesday...The thought that my little vote will be part of it is quite tantalizing....

n/t

son has been volunteering in PA-says Obama will win but people need to show up!!

That is what the hell is going on.

I think these are the most recent polls

I half wonder if they think having a "close race" helps with turnout versus a blowout.

means their ratings go up and up and up. They need to report not spin. I do believe they are trying to motivate the dems but damn, I am tired of being nervous and want to hear the real news. I am so thankful I found the Democratic Underground a few weeks ago, this is the only that that is helping me stay sane.

1. They are now owned by Comcast. Comcast's has always supported Republicans.

2. They have had relative success in the ratings. Meaning they are beating CNN. Thus, while they were a little niche network in 2008 and prior. They are now fighting for the ratings. And have a vested interest in making it a close suspenseful race that will bring in viewers.

Shaping a reality her bosses want you to see. Expecting unbiased data from the TV screen is like expecting to get an apple from a pear tree.

Media narratives are driven by single polls, while ignoring all others.

It's how they do things.

It's flat out stupidity on their part, designed to obfuscate what's really happening.
