Polls for upcoming states

[LadyVT]

Again, I've vowed to avoid CNN and the other networks. I feel like I'm back in the lead-up to the war, strangely enough. After reading all this stuff online about the primaries today, I thought Clinton had all but lost the nomination. But this is not so. Take a look at the polls at Survey USA (the most accurate pollster so far). There are a lot of states to go, and we are just over only halfway with the delegate count. She is up in most of them. Most. Perhaps Barack will surge everywhere and beat her, but for the moment, she is up, and we are not hearing that story.

I am a Hillary supporter, but I believe all of us should find this media slant disturbing. I would like to see more positive stories on my candidate, sure, and if I were a Barack supporter, I'm sure it would be harder for me to see the slant. I know, too, that Hillary had a whole lot of the early coverage. So apart from who is getting the benefit of the slant at the moment...

I am so disturbed by the media's loss of objectivity. They have so much power. I feel like a cow, being herded. Again, as I did in 2000, and again in the lead-up to the war, and in 2004, I feel manipulated. I feel like I am witnessing a movie, or a sports contest, or a beauty pageant, instead of a Presidential election.

I feel the media have lost their curiosity, favoring, instead, adoration. Much more profitable, I guess... Makes a better story...
