“Faux and other MSM keep pushing the meme of unpredictability, trying to keep up sub candidates hopes and increase viewer ratings I guess!”

Those two reasons may be sub-reasons but their main reason is try to sway the election in the way that they want it to go.

I remember the MSM trying to say that the JC/Reagan race was ‘too-close-to-call’ on the morning of the election when even JC was all but conceding the election that morning.

I lived in Atlanta then and saw that MSM up close in that mode, with our beloved Atlanta Journal carrying Jimmy’s water.

That experience was real eye opener for me.

The nail in the MSM coffin for me was Nightline’s “special” on Reagan’s presidency a few months later. I recorded it an expected to sit down later and watch an in depth chronicle of a great presidency. Instead all I got was a hatchet job concluding that the only reason Reagan was loved was because of sympathy for getting shot.

I will never forget the movement of thinking - “You know, I really don’t remember it that way, Nightline!”

We all get to Free Republic in some way. Those were two big steps in my path.
