I cant be the only one in sensing this, but does it not seem obvious that they press is basically hoping and cheering for Obama to do extremely well? They practically have the stories written on "comeback" and just waiting to hit send.

After the first debate, most media were clearly and outwardly unhappy and upset with Obama's performance. Yet, if he some how does well tonight, just watch. They will be happy, cheerful, and orgasmic.

It is just more proof of obvious bias. The majority of the media can not be trusted.

I think itll be pretty much even, given the stupid style of the town hall format and Obama cant possibly do as badly as he did last time. But unless he really screws up, the media will call him the winner and wont hide their joy.

I dunno. I primarily watch Fox and they're hoping Romney wins.

I guess we'll have to judge for ourselves, then meet here later to argue about it.

Here's how the media will react:

ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN,.etc = Give an honest reaction and opinion on the debate

FOX = Willard gave his best performance in history

Of course they're hoping for Obama to actually act presidential....the majority of the media is in his pocket! BUT...it's not the media only who casts votes....so go to the polls!

Obama hates America. That's a fact. The only thing he's done was give a great speech during the Clinton years....other than that...he's all hot air. (Another reason for "global warming"!)

I read a great "Letter to the Editor" today in our paper. The gist was: The way to control gov't spending is to pass a law that says....If the deficit goes past 3% of the GDP, then NO member of Congress is allowed to stay...they MUST vacate their seat.

I know...you say, that can't happen! We'll, it surely can, if American's insist and demand it of our government! Letting 18 year olds vote was a long-shot...yet, folks DEMANDED it...and it happened. We can do this...we MUST BE HEARD!

So far the future ex Prez said he's coming out rude. Don't know if that is better than debating, but whatever.

If history is any indication of the future, the media's reaction will follow the last two debates. Before they have a reaction, they will check Twitter feeds.

Wait... so you admit they reported honestly & fairly when Obama gave a disappointing performance, but you're already prepared to scream BIAS if he does well & they report it as such? I guess some people are just never happy, LOL.

Haha... don't you love how Twitter has suddenly become "the other news source?" How sad.

I was flabbergasted when the VSP (Very Serious People) needed to check Twitter for an after debate analysis.
