Why is Yahoo suddenly quiet about Polls indicating Obama's landslide win just last week?

Update:

Before you Liberals bash me, I did not say I believe in the POLLs.

    It's like anything else - - Obama supporters hide the facts when they don't agree with their philosophy or state of affairs, including the Libya attack...and yes, the polls.

    The media is doing what they always do, turning a lopsided race, into a horse race where the candidates are neck & neck.

    This ensures that they will keep people watching the MSM and thus they are able to charge top dollar for advertising, in addition this also guarantees a steady stream of political advertising dollars.

    We see this every election, just like in any other competition the MSM covers.... "It's neck & neck right to the finish!" The thing that's not being covered, is the Republican voter suppression efforts.

    Why is yahoo quiet about something you don`t believe in any way? A very good question. Why is the media in general quiet about several issues these days? ..but front page in other countries?

    What do you mean? I don't recall Yahoo! making much ado about polls before. They do not seem "suddenly quiet about Polls" to me.

    I think your personal bias may be clouding your impressions about media bias.

    This is what's known as a bump, its a temporary change in polls that evens itself out after the hoopla of an event dies down.
