1. The MSM *NEEDS* a horse race, because they never address any issues. The horse race is all

they've got, all they are willing to discuss.

[spanone]

7. it's the apprentice reality show....nothing more

[Hugin]

2. Rockets on a lie.

SMFH.

3. I Was Listening Early This A.M. To Debate Analysis On CNN......

They were talking winners and losers and how forceful Fiorina was, and Rubio was statesman like, and Christie gained ground - but they are only talking debate style not substance. They made no comments about the lies, half truths and inaccuracies of the statements any of these candidates made.

So the unsuspecting American Person listening to the analysis only has style to go on to rate any of these candidates.

This is the MO of all the cable news shows and as such they just aid in the erosion of our elected officials - by not reporting what is important substance in the debates.

4. I blame the American Idol-ism for this.

Where people are told a nobody can become an Idol by singing old songs someone else wrote, if a so-called authority figure says so.

5. i can't help thinking of chuck todd's statement about the 'media' not correcting the GOP

MSNBC host Chuck Todd said Wednesday that when it comes to misinformation about the new federal health care law, don't expect members of the media to correct the record.

During a segment on "Morning Joe," former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) speculated that most opponents of the Affordable Care Act have been fed erroneous information about the law. Todd said that Republicans "have successfully messaged against it" but he disagrees with those who argue that the media should educate the public on the law. According to Todd, that's President Barack Obama's job.

"But more importantly, it would be stuff that Republicans have successfully messaged against it," Todd told Rendell. "They don't repeat the other stuff because they haven't even heard the Democratic message. What I always love is people say, 'Well, it's you folks' fault in the media.' No, it's the President of the United States' fault for not selling it."

The health care law has long been shrouded in misinformation, a point that Obama himself made in an interview Tuesday with Telemundo. A poll Tuesday showed that support for the law among Republicans was higher when called by the Affordable Care Act, its official title, rather than "Obamacare," a term used derisively by Republicans that has gained widespread usage.

6. How is President Obama supposed to message w/o the media to spread the word?

[spanone]

16. how will the democrat candidates get the ear of the media? so far it's all negative Hillary

and ignore Bernie.

[Eleanors38]

21. Pretty much correct. MSM Will Not take action to "correct" Anything. It exploits.

[Orrex]

8. They're dying to see a Hillary vs. Carly horse race.

[Hugin]

9. Not much of a race, tho.

The GOP's thinking out loud on Fox News is so warped. They honestly think they can be as sexist as they want, if they run a woman.

Beyond Bizarre.

[Orrex]

10. That's a good (but tragic) point re: sexism

Also, Obama vs. McCain and Obama vs. Romney weren't close races either, but the MSM portrayed them as neck-and-neck horseraces until the last possible minute.

[MoonRiver]

11. It will devolve into a "who's prettier" race,

just like in middle school.

[Eleanors38]

22. Hence the PP attack: Point of least resistance and most gain.

[octoberlib]

15. +1 They're really pushing Fiorina.

[malaise]

12. You might just as well leave out the word graphics

CNN is silly on steroids - actually CNN is pathetic

[spanone]

19. Hahahahaha

What a joke

[LittleBlue]

13. Kasich: invoke nuclear option to stop Iran deal

Am I missing something? Because I was told he was moderate one of the bunch

[octoberlib]

14. I was about to post an OP about this. The media is positively gushing over her today.

I t's making me nauseous. I think the media is salivating over a potential match up between Clinton and Fiorina. Or else they got marching orders from the RNC to push Fiorina.

17. a republican pundit (steve someone) said on m$nbc....

a woman and a black republican are the democrats worse nightmare....

they don't give a shit about policy

20. Lies about Planned Parenthood video

100%

[spanone]

23. ......

Fiorina said one of the Planned Parenthood videos shows "a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain."

One of the Center for Medical Progress’ videos attacking Planned Parenthood shows an interview with a woman identified as a former tissue procurement technician, who tells about an experience in a Planned Parenthood pathology lab where she sees a fetus outside the womb with its heart still beating. According to the woman, her supervisor said they would procure the fetus’ brain. The video’s creators added footage of an aborted fetus on what appears to be an examination table, and its legs are moving. But Fiorina makes it sound as if the footage shows what Planned Parenthood is alleged to have done. In fact, the stock footage was added to the video to dramatize its content. We rate her statement Mostly False.
