What the hell is the deal with MSNBC pumping these Mason Dixen Polls?

[debbierlus]

Why are they thumping these Mason Dixen Polls? They say McCain is leading in Fl? And, they only have Obama up 4% in PA?

They aren't talking about ANY other polls. They are saying that McCain could still win & the undecideds could 'break' for McCain. No other reference to any other poll. Just on & on & on with these numbers.

Now, I know that that is BS, the only thing that has me worried is that they could use this bogus info as cover for a stolen election?

I guess my question is this --- How secure is PA vote?

[Triana]

1. Setting up for the STEAL....

..every PA poll I've seen has Obama ahead there.

:wtf:

[WindRiverMan]

11. Nah, they just want the ratings and this helps it look close.

[AkFemDem]

22. No, MSNBC is not "setting up for the steal" go put your tinfoil hat on.

[Ichingcarpenter]

2. Norah asked yesterday if Obama was "overly arrogant' going into red states

Now she is pumping the McCain campaign rally

[Sebass1271]

8. She is a bitch.. she is always pumping up mcpow

as a matter of fact everyone is always pumping up mcpow.. the only two ppl we have is keith and rachel who at least presents a fair and facts of the news...

Right after Obama's speech in OHIO just now which MSNBC just showed Norah interview a republican guy.. i asked myself why interview him norah? Why not an Obmaa supporter?

grrrrrr.
the freakign media....

[MidwestTransplant]

24. Nah, not arrogant, just uppity.

[Ichingcarpenter]

26. She was awful yesterday usually I think she is OK

I knew she leaned conservative but she really showed her
true colors yesterday.

uppity, overly arrogant she is just using those flags

Bill Burton is one and knows we have the ground game.

Norah is pretty but its quite apparent where she leans.

3. They are trying to keep ratings up...

What if they put on an election special and no one watched?? If this things ends with the 10 point spread that many of the polls are predicting people will turn off half way through the night! Got to keep the ad rates up. This is business -- not news!

[OmahaBlueDog]

6. Even if Obama is winning, OH, FL, NC, MO, and PA will "too close to call" until 12 Eastern

[Sebass1271]

4. I was about to open a thread about this same subject

What the hell? When have they use this poll before?

[Gabi Hayes]

5. done in conjunction with.....NBC!

blowing their own horn

literally

[onefreespiritedchick]

19. Exactly, which is what I was about to type.

So of course they'll show bias to tout their own horn.

[Essene]

7. TV news is commercially driven, folks. They have financial ties to the poll.

Except for PBS.

They want viewers. They want ratings. They will hype drama .

[high density]

9. Front page story on MSNBC.COM: "John McCain still has a shot"

It's an AP story pushing their online poll results of "1 in 7 voters isn't fully committed."

This is insanity, but it will be over in a few days.

[ClusterFreak]

10. Ratings. Ratings. Ratings. n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. Hell! It's a Presidential Election! The ratings are built in!

It's just part of schizoid GEM$NBC schtick. They have their Repuke Whores on when they think most Voters are watching during daytime hours, even though the ratings of the evening shows are better...those viewers might not be guaranteed to vote.

[DeepModem Mom]

12. Election Night ratings? Pushing these Mason-Dixons out of context with other polls...

is completely irresponsible. Pure BS.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

13. I live streamed MSNBC a little while ago and had to shut it off. I cannot stand Nora O'Donnell.

[dennis4868]

14. it's been like this since 6am this morning non stop....

Mason Dixon Mason Dixon Mason Dixon Mason Dixon Mason Dixon Mason Dixon Mason Dixon Mason Dixon Mason Dixon Mason Dixon Mason Dixon Mason Dixon

[Phoonzang]

15. I was wondering the same thing. They're trying to make it look like McCain is going to win.

And now this dude is saying if we don't win Ohio we're going to lose.

[AtomicKitten]

16. Two words: horse race, real or not.

[demo dutch]

18. Is it the only very recent poll that came out??

[Pirate Smile]

20. They are their polls and when they come out that is all they talk about for days. It happens

every time and their polls have a slight R tilt. Hopefully, it will just keep Dems working hard. Also - don't watch it. It is annoying as hell when they do this and ignore all other polling.

[debbierlus]

21. I still wouldn't put it past them to try and steal Ohio & Florida...That is their plan, in fact

Then, they need PA to be their trifecta.

I don't think it will work, but I won't be surprised, if they try it.

I am not counting on anything. If they do try & steal it, I will be protesting with all my heart.

[Sebass1271]

23. Mcpow is speaking now.. and Lieberman is right behind him

agreeing with everything McLiar is saying...

[cynatnite]

25. Corporate media wants the race undecided as long as possible...

it's about $$$$$$.
