seems the way to make enemies of the press is to insult their pride

trump did it ages ago with wapo, and now he's done it with at least cnn

pretty much, also why they went so hard on Hillary being 'evasive' and all, it was just 'waaaah look at us please'. This is even more of a disrespect move

Yeah, being a polling truther is really dumb. Nobody wants to look as stupid as Dick Morris from 2012. I'll be thrilled if Hillary overperforms, but counting on it is a bad idea.

So is the media finally crawling out of the ooze and growing a loving spine?

Has the insulting of Cooper forced CNN to stop being retarded?


All of my push notifications are about how Trump finally admits Obama was born in the US. Why is this not being framed as a bad thing?

in a way, although it's not, it could be intentional

if you hear them bitching for 4-5 months of general election cycle, people get tired of it and it might say "maybe the media is biased"

but now they see a transition of pro-trump to anti-trump after some breaking point

i mean lol nothing matters but who loving knows any more

I never thought he would win but I'm starting to think it may be legit impossible. I think he could see that he used to be behind in the polls but now that it's close he's 1000% more emboldened to ditch the TelePrompTer and it's all going to come crashing down again. The polls are actually a self-correcting tool guaranteeing his loss cause the better he does the more he lets his true shitlord flag fly.

no because the two are not happening in a vacuum. after 08-14 the idea that pundits know gently caress-all and Only Polls Matter penetrated the national consciousness. in response people who would in years past send their expert commentators to do the cable news/sunday morning circuit are now publishing terrible loving polls by the buttload

you can say "good polls matter" as much as you could in previous cycles, and it's not unskewing to examine polling methodologies and house effects to say that some polls are worth more consideration than others

This election is like physically making me angry, Trump is factually a racist, scam artist and a liar, this has been literally known for years, there is actual proof, there is no question...

Yet now is the moment that the news media decides to call him out and be outraged?
