They motivate republicans by constantly pointing out how close it has become in VA. Imagine how different everything would feel if the stories were about how far ahead Democrats are in NJ.

I predict Gillespie will win, from what I hear he ran as a racist asshole like Trump, it works. So I
am going to find a movie tonight so I don't have to hear the media say how the Democrats are
doomed in 2018.

They helped to build Trump up during the election and now most are having a blast promoting his demise. Its about viewers. Its controlled with a bit of entertainment thrown in.
Fox News has someone recently talking about a church being the best place to die if its going to happen anyway. The bid standout to me in that segment is when she mentioned talking to other Fox employees. She said of course their faith and beliefs are the same (paraphrasing). When they are given the census they fill in the same answers.

(9,350 posts)I wish the MSM would report on the policies of the candidates. It is possible that this election would not be as close if the MSM would report on what each person would do if they were elected. I think Hillary Clinton would have easily won both the popular vote and the electoral college vote if the MSM would have focused on issues instead of silly things like polls and race closeness.
