Morning Joe just admitted the media needs to rebound the race to keep the story going

[Mike Daniels]

Around the 6:05 mark Joe and the panel admitted that if the media can not swing the media story advantage back to Romney then viewers will tune out.

The panel then spent the next 10 minutes trying to do just that by tearing down Obama and coming up with ways Romney can turn the 47 percent comment to his advantage

F'in unbelievable.

1. It's almost like the media manufacturea the news instead of reporting it.

[Mike Daniels]

3. They used the republican primary as another example

In effect, just as it looked like Romney was gaining an advantage the media would start propping up another passenger in the clown car (Cain, Santorum, etc...)

5. Of course, they had to make it look like there was really some competition.

If it's too cut and dried, nobody will watch and that's bad for ratings.

9. The "horse race" is horseshit...

It's ALL about eyeballs to sell ads. Truth, facts don't matter, just eyeballs; i.e., ratings. In some small measure (decreasing in objectivity) thanks be to (your choice here) NPR, PBS...

2. When the media become part of the

story then they are no longer worth watching because they are no longer journalists.

4. and once again Mika couldn't get a word in edgewise

but the look on her face spoke volumes

6. Don't call this NEWS, Please...

It's lazy asses commenting on things they
think they know anything about.

7. they're celebrating five years of this dung heap

8. But the only problem is, their White Horse Prophecy Champion keeps stepping in horse caca.

I hope Romney camp has the attitude that bad press is better than no press at all

[CTyankee]

10. That was pathetic.

11. I tuned out in 2008, Joe, and never came back.

Not because it wasn't a race, but because you are a partisan asshole.
