For those not watching TV today, what are the media saying

I remember what the media did to VP Gore after the debate. The flash polls showed Gore won but the media went on the attack, and a few days later the polls showed Gore lost. I will never forget how the media went after Gore and tried to turn voters against him.

Reading DU, it appears that the pundits are at it again but I'm not finding the stories online. So would anyone care to elaborate on what is happening for those of us not watching the TV pundits.


I went to PBS and found this article which does not trash Biden:

On Politico it does not solely focus on Biden smirks (usually politico is anti-Dem)

On CNN: I watch the 90 second debate summary and it includes some great Biden lines:

This article calls it a draw:
