CNN has the exit polls plastered all over their ticker tape.
They started doing this hours before the polls are due to close. It should be against the law.

Absolutely. It’s confusing, it appears that Romney has “won” and then someone looks at it close and you see it has nothing to do with it ....but SOME people take it as the results.

I can’t believe the HYPE everywhere for this idiot Romney. Can’t people just use their brains in any capacity to see how much the media is shilling for this guy?? It’s disgusting.

I hate this as much as you do.

However, passing a law regulating non-broadcast media would be unconstitutional. While broadcast stations are subject to federal licensing regulations determining who can put up a transmission tower, the government has no constitutional right to regulate print media in any way, and the same should be true for cable and internet operations.

I'm well aware that CNN and FOX fear the possibility of an adverse court ruling and they act as if they were broadcast outlets, plus FOX has broadcast affiliates and has to worry about issues in that area.

However, Drudge cannot be controlled under current law. Any legal efforts to regulate Drudge would also be able to regulate Free Republic. I think we all understand the risks if Clinton or Obama could regulate what we do on Free Republic.
