CNN giving out lies re drumphs "rise"

Claiming he is ahead in Nevada etc etc

I have to think they are very bad at reporting or hope to keep this race close in their imagination - for ratings.

1. I think that ever since that Donna Brazille incident, CNN has decided to make a turn

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...

4. That was a totally gratuitous comment from them. A reporter making a judgement

7. How low is the bar when his ranting hate speeches are characterized as disciplined.

8. I heard them say Donald is surging. No truth to it and designed to keep the viewers tuned in.

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.
