Massachusetts election media madness

Chris Golas (My random blog)has been our eyes and ears on the ground during the madness leading up to tomorrows' special election.
There are two claims made about the media in this country: one is that there is a liberal media bias while the other is there is no such thing. With the tight race going on in MA, the liberal media is going nuts. We have Ed Schultz who says he would "cheat" in MA to keep the "bastards" out. We then had (today even) David Shuster "asking" if the voters are out of their minds. (today Beck played clips of Ed Schultz saying he would cheat. he also played the clip of David Shuster "asking" if MA voters lost their minds.) This shows that not only are the democrats nervous about the special election in MA, but the Liberal Media as well. Especially the folks at MSNBC. MSNBC dream was to have Obama has president, they got their wish-Obama was elected. MSNBC new wish is to have Obama Health care passed and they will attack anyone that stands in their way. Scott Brown is a threat to that. On the "Today" show a host called what is happening in MA a "crisis". It's only a "crisis" when a Republican leads in MA? Yeah, that's not Liberal media bias With a Brown victory, health care will be killed (unless the Democrats cheat and use "reconcilliation" requiring 51 votes instead of the needed 60) but more important with a Brown victory- a once filibuster proof majority goes bye-bye. Brown will be the 41st vote and with that whatever the dems want to push down the American people throat suddenly goes bye bye. The local media is acting predictably: The Boston Globe pushing for a Coakley victory while the Boston Herald pushing for a Brown victory. MSNBC is acting desperate right now, having on-air talent attack the voters, having a host saying they would cheat. The reason for all of this is because of the polls that show Brown ahead. The further proof of Liberal Media bias will be the reaction on Wednesday Morning if Brown wins. Besides the local newspaper, the local TV stations are playing it down the middle. They do two reports for each candidate and analysis that deals with the facts. I can't see the bias. But then again they only have a certain amount of time for each story they cover. There is to much for me to cover but the liberal media is going into attack and spin mode. It will only intensify tonight and tomorrow. (I will add colors and links shortly
