Exactly, Mr. Brokaw.

We can see now how the media is all afroth with their own agenda and is attempting to make up the minds of voters BEFORE they vote. (my bold) I feel the shoves to the small of the back and I RESENT IT.

MATTHEWS: We’re going to have to go back and figure out the methodology, I think, on some of these.

BROKAW: You know what I think we’re going to have to go back and do? Wait for the voters to make their judgment.

MATTHEWS: What do we do then in the days before balloting–

BROKAW: What a novel idea–

MATTHEWS: –We must stay home then I guess.

BROKAW: No, no, we don’t stay home. There are reasons to analyze what they’re saying. We know from how the people voted today what moved them to vote. We can take a look at that. There are a lot of issues that had not been fully explored in all this.

But we don’t have to get in the business of making judgments before the polls have closed and trying to stampede and affect the process.

Look, I’m not picking just on us. It’s part of the culture in which we live these days.

But I think the people out there are going to begin to make some judgments about us, if they haven’t already, if we don’t begin to temper that temptation to constantly try to get ahead of what the voters are deciding, in many cases as we learned in New Hampshire, as they went into the polling place today or in the past three days. They were making decisions very late.

Yes, we've come to some judgments about the media and none of it is complimentary. You guys blathered on, shoving Bush's manliness in our faces, ramming the necessity of the Iraq war down our throats, tut tutting about the lunacy of the liberals, and parroting the obviously idiotic Rovian talking points of the White House. Many of us saw through you from the beginning, some are just now coming to realize you have been in collusion with the Right Wing Smear Machine.

You've lost your creds and it will be a long while before you get them back.

You know Brokaw will lose his guild card over this breach of etiquette.
