talks about New York times but applies to self-important mainstream
journalists everywhere

No responsible pollster would claim that one of them had a lead.

It’s very close.

I think she’s going to overtake him eventually.

to fit their narrative.. We saw it ruin America and the Planet in 2016.

Partly I don’t care if they would admit to the bias.

Has been doing this for months, show good news for Warren, but nothing when Joe leads, they never mentioned the Fox poll. They are trying to pick our candidate, I have my thoughts on that, but won't share them here.

Truth is, ANYONE can beat Dolt45, which is why We The People will nominate and elect a bold progressive, instead of a moderate incrementalist. The writing is on the wall... all anyone needs to do is READ IT...


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

And since when did it become a meme?

The meme I recall is that Biden is the BEST candidate to beat Trump. And it is the meme that gets validated poll after poll, apparently surprising bold progressives everywhere with remarkable regularity.

I pop on every couple days and I always see it multiple times.

I am curious to see "Only Biden can win", even in the Biden forum.

On the other hand, I see "moderate incrementalist" Biden being bashed here regularly, as if moderate incrementalism is a bad thing.

What you said.

Narrow leads in polls that favor her do not make her the frontrunner. MSNBC is clearly showing bias.

coincidence, not a conspiracy, but a situation that threatens the bedrock of democracy, voting. Perception that a candidate is winning or losing affects voting behavior. Amazing and outrageous
how media, again, helps Trump.

It's about making the public think it's a close race between two or more people. This makes people watch and creates higher ratings. And ratings are not the most important thing to TV networks, they are the ONLY thing. As we get closer to the election they will always start throwing around the words "dead heat", whether it really is or not. They will find a way to justify it.

It is not that they hate Biden and want Warren to win, it is that if they can make it a horse race they will. It's all they know how to do.

The media elite are, for the most part, highly paid people with post-graduate degrees and those folks prefer Liz …… Biden's support is strongest among seniors and working class voters - neither of whom you will see on cable TV …….

Both Biden and Warren have had first place polls. "Front-runner" is a term of opinion.

She hasn't been for a couple of days now.

Warren was .2 ahead for only one day several days ago. He said she was in the lead now.

MSNBC gave a lot of attention to her "taking the lead" days ago. Haven't heard one person there mention Biden retaking the lead 24 hours later.

Nate Silver's been commenting on the media bias, especially in terms of which polls are highlighted.

The fact no one on MSNBC has commented on the part of the Fox News poll showing Biden leading Warren by 10 points nationally -- even though their hosts and pundits have commented on Fox News finding 51% support for impeachment, and finding Biden, Warren and Sanders beating Trump -- also shows the bias. They want the media narrative to be that Warren is the frontrunner, and they're ignoring or lying about facts that don't fit that narrative.

regaining the lead at RCP, or mention him being 10 points ahead of Warren in the Fox News poll last week when other findings from that poll got a lot of attention there.

any mindless anchor who just reads what's put in front of him.

So when it happens to your guy it's a conspiracy?

And once candidates drop out, that'll put even more into play.

I'd rather be the candidate surging up from the depths than the one who steadily declined from 40% a few months ago, but there is so much still in play.
