I've noticed that even The Ed Show and Rachel have toned down their comments against Hillary and against Obama and the TPP.
So I guess if a producer came to them as said "they want you to tone it down a little" I suppose they tone it down or go by the way of
Olbermann.

One thing I noticed to is I think it was obvious that questions to Tweety's guests were scripted. Especially David Axle..whats his face...
made certain they he put those little dibs in there about Bernie and being unelectable..
They report that Hillary has such a huge lead in Iowa that doesn't make any sense compared to the crowds Bernie has drawn so far but we will see again today because I think he is in Iowa again but not sure...

On edit: Polling I keep remembering what pollster Zogby said several times over the years. If a poll that's has less than a sampling number of at least 1000-1500 it really cant be considered accurate and the geographical area of any state also make a difference of course.
So if a Network wants to have a poll taken and they want it done in a certain area than it's not creditable . They could sample 50 voters (they never give the sampling numbers) and give them the results and they are not lying because after all it is a poll.
I believe Bernie is polling better than being reported .. would certainly be much better if a good scientific poll was conducted.
