Even when it's over, I don't think it's going to be over.

[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 702643, member: 4152"] I think there was much bias, corruption, deception and way too much manipulation and sleeze. I see this on both camps. Of particular note, the media was largely corrupt and unprofessional. I think this, at least partially resulted in lots of anger and backlash. We need a fair, professional and unbiased media. This is our nation's safeguard. Give us the true facts and step aside. Let the people decide. They should not try to manipulate the people. I suppose there are some stations that identify themselves as for one party or another. One or two of those might be acceptable, if they identify themselves as such. BUT, I think the great majority of media outlets need to be NEUTRAL, professional, unbiased, and stay out of politics in terms of trying to gain influence. This might be at least partially why the polls were so messed up. Related to this...the media has gotten so sleezy and unprofessional THEY themselves are easy to manipulate. One can say or do anything to get their attention. They are not simply trying to get the facts and move on. They don't try to get varying opinions from varying people...professionals and every day citizens alike. They just say the same things over and over again from the same people,often the same side/perspective, and I think it was noticeable and resulted in distrust and anger. [/QUOTE]
