The press has already decided the election
At least that's my opinion. Every news report I've heard about tonight's debate between the democratic candidates have used the same general phraseology. The field of candidates have been universally described as "democratic presidential wannabees."

The very use of the term "wannabees" is demeaning, and serves the press's intention of minimizing their stature, as well as the importance of what they are saying.

The unelected fraud in the White House, the front man for the criminal cabal which seized control of the country and is working furiously to solidify their fascist state, is always portrayed as something he simply isn't -- a president. But those who wish to return democracy to the nation are derided as "wannabees."

Truly disgusting, but not really surprising.

2. Don't take that too seriously
They're setting up the horserace for next year.

The story line has to be someone coming out of nowhere...(like they're saying about Dean now) to take on the most popular, wonderful president ever, and then

the story line will break to either

the underdog wins, or

Bush falls from grace but redeems himself to win.

The story lines never change, just the faces and names...........

3. They want to, at least, make it look that way.
The slant "It's Over!"gives the average American voter yet another reason to believe there's no difference between the Democrats and the rethuglians. And believing their vote either way doesn't matter helps reinforce human nature's natural laziness and inclination to just stay home election day.

Most importantly: Really appreciate the characterization of the Little Turd from Crawford and the organization he stooges for, sally343434. Mussolini described the model employed by today's cabal:

"Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power."

4. So maybe it's time to go on the attack.
Write them and ask them if they got their degree in journalism in diploma mill? Because they have violated the basic tenants of true journalism by interjecting their opinion or bias when reporting events like political debates.

6. Agreed. Go on the attack. This is bullshit journalism
I am stunned at the sellouts in the press nowadays.
