I'm a big fan of MSNBC, but this is really bugging me:

They show their PROJECTIONS for the GOP/DEM numbers for the House.

Why don't they show the ACTUAL NUMBER of DECIDED contests for the House like they do for the Senate?

Stop pumping out the idea that the House is going to end up majority red!!

I understand the context the projections are presented in, including the range of possibilities for total seats.

It’s not that big of a deal.

As with most corporate media, they frequently present things in a way that favors the conservative side.
