4. I don't think they're freaking out
I think they love this. The longer the primaries are meaningful, the higher their ratings. TV news is a business, nuff said.

6. I agree
And the best news is Keith has taken the lead of all their talking heads. That's good news for getting a little balance back on these stations.

7. No they are worried they can't swing it
the voters aren't doing what the MSM expects them to do.

5. The mainstream media left Edwards' photo out of the photo layout of the candidates in many news...
newspapers. Miami Herald, for one.

9. What are you talking about? They pumped up the tracking polls to discourage turnout.
It's a time honored technique. Pump up the tracking polls to suggest that the election is a done deal, which in turn results in lower turn out for the supposed frontrunner. The MSM (specifically ABC/Disney) did their job for the corporatist's choice.

Resistance is futile.
