Do you think the corporate media is purposely trying to swing the vote to Brown?

Poll question: Do you think the corporate media is purposely trying to swing the vote to Brown?

It sure seems that way to me. But, I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't tuned into this contest at all until a week ago. I'm on the west coast, and assumed Teddy's seat was safe.:( I also don't watch much corporate media, so I don't know what they've been doing for the last few weeks. But today I was off work, and I couldn't believe the propaganda, even on MSNBC.

1. Most definitely... that's where the story is

Even if you set aside the issue of corporate agendas, there is no story if Coakley wins. She wins, it was closer than expected but everything remains basically status quo. If she loses, they have a storyline that they can push for months.

2. Good point

They've been pushing the Dems lose big in 2010 for months, with little or nothing to back it up.

3. duh

[senseandsensibility]

LOL

Maybe it takes something obvious like this to unite DU. I noticed that no one's voted NO so far.

[Lord Helmet]

4. A-hole Chuck Todd spoke as if she had already lost the election.

7. I saw that.

Vomit inducing.

17. it was

18. 85% are doing it in one way or another...n/t

[8 track mind]

5. not only yes,

but hell fucking yes.

[Atticus]

6. Of course. "Upset!!!!" makes for a better lead than "As expected---" nt

[Obamacare]

8. I totally agree!!

I've only been watching the Haiti coverage, as soon as they segway into politics in Ma, I turn the channel with a quickness. Yes, even MSNBC is in on the propaganda, its sicking. I can't even imagine how bad faux news is spinning this story and I will never find out because thats one channel I will never turn to, ever!! I pray that Coakley wins, this is too important, just imagine the spin and propaganda if we lose tomorrow.:puke:

9. No question.

It would create quite a few talking points for them.

10. This is why Congress needs to investigate the media's right-wing bias

Rupert Murdoch, Brit "Helmethead" Hume, and a lot of other media people need to be hauled before Congress to answer some very tough questions.

[senseandsensibility]

11. I see that someone voted no

Care to explain?

[Parker CA]

12. No question about it. It's all too transparent and all too sickening. nt

[KingFlorez]

13. That certainly are

Sometimes they have to do something to make the news, otherwise they wouldn't have anything to analyze over and over again.

[iceman66]

14. At a minimum.

I'm starting to wonder if they've found some new way to steal an election and the media is providing 'cover'.

15. Close races generate more ad buys than landslides

$$$$$$

16. It's obvious! All they do is talk about why she LOST (past tense). They haven't said one

negative thing about Brown even though he got caught lying about knowing the teabaggers, smiled at the curling iron comment, changed his position on abortion rights, etc.

[senseandsensibility]

19. Chucky Todd was particularly blatant today

That guy is so out of his league.

[jenmito]

20. I heard him talk about why Coakley "lost." It's really shameless how hard they're pimping Brown and

trying to destroy Coakley.

[totodeinhere]

21. I'm sure they are doing that. But if Brown wins will it really make any difference? The damage...

will already have been done.

[senseandsensibility]

22. The election won't be overturned if that's what you mean

but we should still call them on it. Why stay quiet?

[PM Martin]

23. The corporate media IS trying to sway this election to

the Republican party.
