So here we were over the last week, since the Iowa caucus, treated to story after story about how Hillary's losing it, how she's about to give it up, how Obama is double digits ahead of her and unstoppable, how there's little foreseeable hope for Hillary, she's running out of money, etc. And then we get these results.  Makes you wonder, don't you think?  Was this all media driven to have us all watching closely?  Was it all so much free advertisement for both Hillary and Obama?

Someone tell me how every news organization gets it wrong.  Just goes to show how much trust to put in these fine reporting organizations.  It is these same kinds of reports that discourage voters from going to the polls because we're given the impression the deal is done and your vote won't make a difference.

The "NEWS" outlets are staffed by idiots. When is the last time YOU saw a story reported correctly? Exacting standards don't exist any more. Its just entertainment for RATINGS. Keep 'em guessing. Listening to all those Political spinners, and 'handlers' lying about their candidates can't help the medias' accuracy ratings.

I agree. The media inundates you with garbage to sell the story they want you to believe.
The media is trying to make the democrats look like the movie Rocky where the democrats are having to overcome obstacles but that the mean republicans throw in their way but the dems always win because they are fighters. It's about as believable as Rocky too.
