I was watching Meet The Press. And good old Chuck Todd was at his wall. He and David Gregory were touting the "so called" latest poll showing Ohio tied 49-49. Of course there was no mention of that fact that the poll was a week old. And that most of it was done before the 3rd debate. And of course they ignored the more recent polls out of Ohio showing the President ahead from 3-4 points.
AMAZING PROPAGANDA!

(19 posts)Gregory and Todd are only trying to aid NBC earn more advertising revenue and keep their jobs interesting. So they will regularly speak these things.
Media does more damage to our democracy than anyone else. They were supposed to be on people's side but now they are only after money
Few people watch these kind of shows so don't need to worry about it's impact

(8 posts)I just early voted in FL and was on such a high. Then watched Meet the Press with all the repubs talking about how Mitt is going to win. Ugh ruined my morning.
