I, for one, trust Robert F. Kennedy and everything he has to say about Republicans.
Let's review a few examples of the press and their boo-boo's.
- "Dewey Defeats Truman" is the most famous example of major "oops" that have taken place when media try predicting who wins elections.
- As Pecker states, reading old Time/Newsweek mags show that Reagan was never given a chance of winning in 1980 was it supposedly a toss-up until right before the actual election.
- Mondale showed a double-digit lead over Reagan in 84 after the Dem convention.
- And it's been 46 years, but it's widely know that the Daley machine in Chicago worked it's collective ass off to "make sure"
Illinois ended up in the Kennedy column versus Nixon's.
Shenanigans have gone on for a loooong time. That they go on doesn't make them right. To further assume they only go on at the expense of Democrats is pure silliness.
Exit polling should be eliminated, period. The most important election in our country and we purposely influence tens of millions of people's votes by the media's hunger to break a story first. If you want to talk about election rigging, THAT is patently unfair. Doing away with it would makes things better for both Dems and Repubs. That a poll's results were shown (I'M SHOCKED)
wrong doesn't mean there is a vast right-wing conspiracy at work behind the scenes making it so.
