Looks like the MSM has started their Closing Arguments for McPalin

[WeDidIt]

It's all McPalin all the time.

Fox was the only blatantly pro-McPalin channel, but now, all of them are.

It's so obvious what they are trying to do in the last days of this election.

[high density]

1. They want one more McCain comeback story

And they are willing to write it before it happens.

[Peacetrain]

2. What you said... they have to keep us tuned in for the "Drama"

[TexasLady]

3. and many more 'sound problems' for Obama Im sure

I have NEVER seen the networks have problems with what's his name, just Obama and Biden rallies.

[tekisui]

4. Obama will take this news week from them.

They are starting with the loser, and will end with President Obama!

[Ioo]

5. Because there is no news in "landslide" want it to be close

They want it this way, because it fills space

[WeDidIt]

6. They want a nail biter on election night

IF they're calling ti right after the CA polls close, they lose advertising revenue.

What's even worse is if they have to call it BEFORE CA polls close. That totally screws up their bottom line.

7. I think that they want a Republican victory. nt

[GoesTo11]

8. They want a nailbiter AND a Republican victory

so they really don't see a downside to pushing McCain right now.

9. Exactly

I've been in broadcast sales....and I know how this works. Like for election coverage, the "hook" to get a company to advertise, is to tell that company that they'll have such and such ratings or the company will get free commercials in the future. So, if the ratings aren't what they promised, then there's a structure, based on the percentages they were short of what they were promised, and those companies will have commercials GIVEN to them in the future. For instance, if they're off 5% they get so many free commercials.....if they're off 10%, they get another amount, and so on. Which of course, if those are free, it eats into the commercial inventory that they could've sold.
