They are gaining in that they report what happened without any of their side of things like the other TV people do. The day is nearly here when they become the MSM and all those others just become a part of it all.

Did you see the video of chris mathews?
I just now saw the Matthews words on Glenn Beck's radio show. Yes, that show is on tv these days on Dish. I am so glad I have to use Dish or Direct, and Dish is the best choice because they are showing all the Beck programs on channel 212.

Matthews admitted that if one of their boys had been the moderator Romney wouldn't have finished one single point.

There was nothing you would have accepted in that report other than the one 25 year old man who is ready to "go there" again.
Well duh a lot of moderates have changed their mind on Obama and I've noted that Romney could gain dangerous momentum out of the debates.

Your attempt to portray me as some leftwinger is exactly the point I've been making in the thread. Romney beats Obama to a pulp in the debate and suddenly the news is accurate, the polls show Romney whipping Obama in the debate and sudddenly THOSE polls are accurate.

Heck, I chided the leftwingers earlier in the thread, I guess you missed that too.

So what happens when Romney picks up ground in the polls after the debate? Am I to not believe them because of poll biases?

That would depend on whether or not the polling can be shown as biased. When a poll notes that they polled more Dems than historically would be called for, it's likely a dismissible poll. Same if things can be shown the other way.

If a poll makes it very difficult to find who they polled, it's likely dismissible.

Everything is a conspiracy to the wingnut crowd.

This doesn't change the indisputable fact that the media is mainly comprised of progressive activists who are willing to lie to advance their agenda; very few are legitimate journalists.
That's not an indisputable fact. It's an unsubstantiated opinion. Those are very different things.

Does this mean that the people at Fox "News" are regressive passivists?
