It's reprehensible, what the media did. As soon as the debate was over they shouted out "Hillary Won" and then they took polls that included people who did not watch the debate. Of course they are going to say "Hillary Won" because the media told them she won! Then the media uses these polls to confirm that she did in fact win. Unbelievable! I feel like I'm living in the old USSR where Pravda told the public who won!
