>>The immediate consensus that Mitt Romney won Wednesday's presidential debate has eroded significantly as fact-checkers have weighed in and supporters of President Barack Obama have fought back, according to NBCPolitics' computer-assisted analysis of more than 1.3 million post-debate comments on social media.<<




The media is beginning to become less relevant. Social media is becoming more powerful simply due to the fact that we can watch something like a debate and post our own thoughts versus being told what to think by talking heads. Social Media is starting to cut out the middle man...aka Media.

Obama seems to have done a lot better in the debate than what the media is painting it to be.

President Obama, history will tell, was the debate Victor!
For noone can win a debate by standing there on a podium telling nothing but garbage-mouthed lies, and flip-flopping on every single issue that he had ever spoke upon previously, during it's entire 90 minute length!
Willard Romney has only served to exposed himself as the sick pathologilcal liar and incurable compulsive flip-flopper, that he truly is!
