Well, there is one thing positive about the Poll numbers

The Media is basically admitting Obama had a "lock" on the election two weeks ago and now it's a dead heat.

It's funny how that isn't what they were reporting two weeks ago, and now that it's really a dead heat, they have revised their reporting.

The truth comes out eventually.

rare to find something called investigative journalism

It is an embarrassment that they call themselves news organization, and an insult to those of the past who really, like Edward R. Murrow, Cronkite, etc.

I have never seen them make so many mistakes, and they are not even embarrassed

Gabby Giffords was dead was the initial reports coming from such sources as cnn and faux
There are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. That lie was repeated ad nauseum
In 2008 the majority of news outlets were reporting that there was no problems with the financial system. This was before the meltdown
The ACA has been ruled unConstitutional by the Supreme Court. When the ruling came out they didn't read the ruling

Probably the worst thing though that the MSM has done is they have legitimized racism as "mainstream".

There was a time in this country when the views of people like george wallace, lester maddox, and other racists and segregationists, was looked down upon. Today I have my doubts that would be the case
