and basically start attacking Hillary in their reporting, in an effort at damage control.

Great timing there, CNN, right when the election is going to be decided...

Yep they make decisions on what gets aired according to profit and ratings. There is simply no way one can look at the polling aggregate and make the conclusion that Donald is surging. The data just isn't there.

It will drive you mad if you watch too much. I gave up cable news for most of the election until I visited family and started watching it there a couple weeks ago. Now I check in every now and then just to see what they're saying. Limited exposure is the key to calmer nerves.

After the election, bye-bye altogether.
