When everyone knew it was to be Gore vs. Bush - Evan Thomas of Newsweek said, “The media is worth 15% in the polls.” so when they say they tilt a little, take 15% off Pres. Obama and today you have a man at 25% not 40!!
Evan Thomas of Newsweek said, “The media is worth 15% in the polls.”
Explains Romney,, but it’s heartening to know that he is only getting his 25% WITH the media tailwind.
Very telling. I actually think it goes quite a bit further than just the polls. It's not just the slant that is put on the reported stories themselves, but also which stories get reported and which ones prompt deafening crickets. If this man had been properly vetted, he likely would never have polled above the 18% corresponding to the voter base that identifies themselves as very liberal.
Then all of this and much, much more could have been avoided.
