Matt Drudge and MSNBC continue their blackout of Hillary's momentum in the polls

[ruggerson]

Three national polls out in the last 24 hours:

1) New York Times/CBS poll showing Clinton 42 Obama 27

2) USA Today/Gallup poll showing Clinton 45 Obama 33

3) WaPo/ABC poll showing Clinton 42 Obama 37

Drudge was highlighting poll #3 for 24 hours with a headline about Obama making "huge gains", that is until the Gallup poll came out this AM. Then he yanked all polls, but he still has not linked to or acknowledged the Gallup poll.

MSNBC was highlighting the WaPo all morning and afternoon, also ignoring both poll #1 and poll #2. (now they are finally running poll #1 on their ticker)

A Rasmussen poll showing Clinton closing the gap in SC was also totally ignored by these "media" outlets.

Anyone who's unfortunate enough to only read Drudge and/or watch MSNBC would think that the national numbers are tight, when there really is a double digit Clinton lead if you factor all the poll numbers (the Gallup sample was over 2000 voters and is very in depth.)

I'm not so sure this is motivated by pro Obama sentiment so much as virulently anti-Clinton sentiment.

When MSNBC is as biased and untruthful as Drudge, you know we've sunk to new lows.

1. If Hillary was surging Drudge would be screaming it at the top of its web page along with a donation

request.

Hillary's name raises more money for the Pukes than it does for the Dems.

2. You couldn't be more mistaken

he loathes Hillary Clinton and does the same thing Matthews does: slants everything in favor of Obama.

3. Because he loathes her he would be trying to raise money by saying....

"Stop the Surge......donate to Drudge"
