The media thinks their last trick still works.

Explain to your grandfather that most people use cell phones now and no one can conduct polls on cellphones yet and explain the importance of twitter and the internet and how even the most famous cable news shows have a very small following. And explain the media's need to create a neck to neck race in order to stay relevant.

It'll help him understand that he isn't going crazy.
