85. MSNBC's "Hurricane" headed for Dems headline wasn't even backed up by its own story.

Other than Fox, I stop short of accusing the "MSM" of conspiracy, but I agree with Rachel that the press has latched onto the "incumbents will be crushed" narrative and is slow to let go even in the face of contrary facts. It's lazy, cliched reporting, with one source after another building on convenient "storyline" rather than actually analyzing what's going on.

"Close and unpredictable, with some anti-incumbent momentum" is closer to the way things are shaping up.
