(23,997 posts)here's how it rolled, imho:
MSM sources were giving DJT positive coverage w/o fact checking when he was 5 points behind in OH, up through last week. they only know how to make bank off a horse race, and DJT was very much in risk of getting blown out bigly.
however, once he caught up in the polls, the MSM owning class looked at their stock portfolios and contemplated the impact of a DJT presidency on their net worth. now the hounds will be unleashed until HRC is comfortably back in the lead again, much to the relief of many news anchors and reporters who seem visibly annoyed and repulsed by having to prop up DJT.
DJT's free media coverage is going to get pretty sour for a while now.
i expect one more cycle of this before the election; with any luck DJT will peak again in the last week of October and drop back by 10 or so for election day.
