Journalists - including those in broadcasting - have forgotten that their job is to observe what happened and report on it through their employers medium.
All of the polls that you and I see have been commissioned by the media (as in Fox News/Opinion Dynamics, CNN/Gallup, etc.) and then reported AS news. The media is now in the business of blatantly creating the news that they report. And the dumb masses eat it up as if it were gospel.
If Obama were so far ahead as the talking heads would have us believe, then why is he campaigning so hard in Virginia where he reportedly has a 10-point lead in the polls? His internal polling must be telling him something different.
And don't forget that there is a difference between registered voters, likely voters, and actual voters on election day. There can be a very BIG difference, and the last one is the only one that makes any difference.
So, don't let anything stand in the way of voting in spite of what the media tell us.
