JustOneMinute: Bold Prediction: The Impending Obama Media Backlash

Why a bursting of his media bubble? Well, they (alright, “they”) have finally admitted what was obvious in this Harvard study last fall and to Bill Clinton at Dartmouth - as some NBC talent put it, “it’s hard to stay objective covering this guy”.

However, while the press was non-objectively giving Obama a shoulder ride around New Hampshire, Hillary surprised and embarrassed the media and the experts by sneaking to victory.

I think Tom is being a little harsh here. Without exception, every poll and pollster I saw was predicting a sizeable victory for Obama, right up until the polls opened.

That given, what was the media supposed to report? That it was expecting a big Hillary victory? Had it done so, it would have been slammed - and rightfully so - for making up the news.
