Well, well, well. FNS spent considerable time sounding concillatory to Mitt Romney, saying poor Mitt, what a great candidate he was [still dismissing him this year] like they didn't have a lot to do with it with their very favorable treatment of all things McCain.

Case in point: On today's program, in similar fashion to how Fox News referenced Mitt winning in Wyoming, Michigan and Nevada they never once mentioned that Mitt Romney is crushing the annointed McCain in the Maine caucus that concludes today. Oh, how about their poll that has McCain up by 26 points nationally, that is a total sham, their own people call it an "outrider", well they are right about that, it looks to be as far off as a poll can be and is but another attempt to tilt the public toward McCain.

They are not fooling me: The FNS roundtable, even Wallace and Krystal, were very complimentary of Romney in every way. Smart, intelligent, tall, conservative, commanding speaker, good looking, ran a good campaign, well funded....they say all these things now after they deem McCain to have the nomination sewed up. I mean the departure from the previous weeks was astounding, on those shows it was very non-stop praise for McCain.

Like I said, they ain't fooling me. They are as still as biased for McCain as ever, but they are now, like the officials in a game where all the penalties are called one way, trying to change how things are perceieved at the end of the contest. Sorry, Fox News I don't buy it. The time is long past to appear, to be, fair and balanced.

I am still looking for a Mitt rally. He won big in Maine where McCain, according to Fox News, was supposed to wipe the floor with Romney. Mitt has pulled ahead in California. The announcement of the McCain coronation just may have been a bit premature.

^^^^^^

Won’t that be terrific! Perhaps, the reality of McCain will appear to many of Tuesday’s voters - the ones who hoped for Thompson to rise up or for Hunter to get traction, in other words, for any thinking Republican.

There is a reason "out rider" polls sounds like out right liar. Rassmussen has Romny McCain tied Nationally. Rass, who has been very much in the McCain camp shows the momentum on Romny's side. That is much more plausible then any of the Media polls showing McCain so far ahead.

Since the Media polls are counting anyone claiming to be leaning Republican in their polls it skews their data. As we have seen with the Open primaries. McCain does well with Non Republicans and loses the Republican/Conservative vote. So the Media polls are skewed in McCain's favor by the flawed methodology they are using.
