BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I've got a bunch of stories in the Stack that are the same thing as this sound bite. This is ABC News Good Morning America, Amy Robach is the news infobabe, the anchorette. She spoke with a group of undecided voters about last night's debate, and during the segment, Amy Robach and an unidentified voter had this little exchange. ROBACH: We've got our group of undecided voters here behind me so let's see a show of hands. How many of you made up your minds who you're gonna vote for based on last night's debate? One, two....

One of Donald Trump's closest advisers has said he would pull out of the next debate if he were running for president. "If I were Donald Trump I wouldn't participate in another debate unless I was promised that a journalist would act like a journalist and not an incorrect, ignorant fact checker," Rudy Giuliani said after Monday's debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton. While Giuliani lashed out at NBC News' Lester Holt, who moderated the event, Trump said he "felt [Holt] was fine." Giuliani added: "I did not say what I'm advising, I'm saying what I would do. Whatever advice...

Nothing like last night Watching my Tigers go down to the Indians last night was not much fun, especially since we had to swallow the very tough pill of watching the Indians celebrate on our field after clinching the American League Central Division title by beating us 7-4 last night. (So fine, OK, congratulations Indians, I guess, whatever, jerks . . .) But I’m still glad my family and I went, and did not stay home to watch the embarassment that was the latest incarnation of our modern-day, media-driven bastardization of the presidential debate. I’ve seen all your opinions on...

CNN will host the "CNN Presidential Town Hall: America's Military and the Commander in Chief," with...Barack Obama on Wednesday September 28 at 9 p.m. ET. Obama will field questions from the audience made up of active duty service members, veterans and the military community.

Lester Holt's actions at the first presidential debate were inexcusable. And also unsurprising. The day when media lefties were patient enough to believe that the system would work without being this blatant are over. They've been open this election about rejecting even the illusion of objectivity. The only question is why do Republicans continue to allow mainstream media figures to moderate presidential debates? Lester Holt decided to debate Trump. But you can increasingly expect this kind of behavior from any media figure below a certain age to whom the concept of journalism is a dead and incomprehensible notion. Or rather,...

At tonight’s debate, Donald Trump faced off not just against Hillary Clinton, but against moderator Lester Holt. The game of two-on-one saw Holt ask no questions about: •Hillary’s emails •Benghazi •The Clinton Foundation While ignoring these issues, Holt grilled Trump on stop-and-frisk, the birther issue, his comments about women, his many bankruptcies, why he hasn’t released his tax returns, and a host of other issues the media sees as unfriendly to the Republican candidate.

Donald Trump has long complained that the news media refuses to show the size of his crowds. (Note: After interviewing him in Florida, we showed the crowd today on Full Measure.) Three questions are at issue: 1. Is the news media treating him differently? 2. How do Trump’s crowds compare to other candidates? 3. Does size matter? 1. Is the news media treating Trump differently? Yes. Trump is correct that the news media doesn’t often show his packed audiences. Neither do they remark much about the size of Hillary Clinton’s crowd. Is this because his audiences are large and hers...

As this vitriolic, unpredictable, outrageously entertaining presidential campaign enters its final stages I find myself pondering what happens next. I was reminded of the last scene in the 1972 movie, The Candidate. The movie is about a young untested non-politician candidate for U.S. Senator in California who puts his fate in the hands of a veteran political operative and overcomes a double digit polling deficit to win a huge upset victory. His entire focus during the campaign was to win. In the final scene of the movie he is standing among the celebrating campaign staffers and the fawning press corp....

Knowing that “Without America there is no Free World”, Canada Free Press is starting on those prayers right now Everyone reading this should say a fervent prayer ahead of tonight’s so-called ‘Debate of the Century’ that some kind of semblance of fairness will still be in place even though the debate is being organized by the Democrats in league with the lib-left NBC. As CFPN Liberty Media colleague and YouTube producer Marc Patrone reminded me this afternoon: “Will Hillary have prior access to the debate questions and not Trump? This question needs to be asked.” “The lib media wants to...

The Trump campaign is dealing with an enemy that does not fight fair and is desperate to hold on to power at any cost. Does anyone out there really believe they’re above this and that Clinton and the media wouldn’t try it? Conservative talk radio is abuzz with questions about how Hillary Clinton is going to avoid getting destroyed in tonight’s debate at the hands of a surging and confident Donald Trump. Think they’ll play fair? Forget it. There’s too much at stake for the Democrats and their media allies to leave anything to chance. They’ll cheat and the easiest...

RUSH: Uh-oh. There's gonna be real panic out there now because Nate Silver has just announced that Donald Trump would win if the election were held today. Trump now has a 54.9% chance of winning the election. Nate Silver. You'd better close the windows on high buildings where Democrats are in offices. It's not gonna be pretty. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Just to reiterate here, I had to squeeze the information in in a flash as the previous hour was ending. Nate Silver's website, FiveThirtyEight.com, has adjusted its projections ahead of the debate tonight, and this is it, if the election...

MSNBC unveiled graphics on Monday of the respective “tasks” that presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton need to accomplish at their first debate, including that Trump needs to “stop lying.” MTV national correspondent Jamil Smith appeared on MSNBC to discuss what the candidates need to accomplish Monday night during the debate, and the left-leaning network provided visual displays of his takes. “First thing’s first, he needs to stop lying,” Smith said. “He needs to respect the intelligence of the American people.”

Robby Mook's meltdown

Let’s face it, we’re being forced to live through this ridiculous bizarro world info-stream of media gaslighting, while simultaneously accommodating the delusions of Park Row journalists, and their taxpayer funded co-conspirators in DC. To wit: …The importance and value of the Trump-Clinton presidential debate will be directly proportional to the media’s ability to declare Hillary Clinton the winner

The media meltdown we are gobbling popcorn to right now is the result of two key phenomena – we normals have grown tired of the media elite’s lies, and today’s technology allows us to ignore the people who would presume to tell us what we can and cannot know. As the walls collapse around the few remaining information gates and we barbarians bypass them, gatekeeper gigs are becoming as rare as jobs for millennials with masters degrees in Feminist Interpretive Dance. Now you media creeps are finding yourself ignored and irrelevant as America proceeds to do whatever the hell it...

CNN’s Brian Stelter says Lester Holt is signaling to his NBC colleagues that he may enter the fray in Monday night’s presidential debate as a participant rather than a moderator — thanks to intense left-wing backlash over Matt Lauer’s performance at the “Commander in Chief Forum” weeks ago.

Hillary has no chance to win on issues or leadership. She has done nothing but wreck countries and leave Americans begging for help for 13 hours, and she can only promise more tax and spend at a time when America is saddled with debt and barely getting by on an anemic 1% GDP. So its high time for another one of those infamous Clinton Camp all-nighters with Diet Coke and Pizza to cook up some rhetoric to change the appearance of things, or as we like to call it: "Moving the Goal Posts for Hillary". In this episode, the casual...

The Sunday before the first presidential debate of 2016 was filled with analysis and speculation about how the candidates were going to perform. It was the same on CNN’s Inside Politics were their panel touted Hillary Clinton’s ability to debate.  Host John King played a clip of Clinton leaving Senator Bernie Sanders speechless after slamming his questions about her speaking fees as a smear, saying it was a clue about how Monday’s debate might turn out. CNN’s Nia-Malika Henderson seemed almost in awe of Clinton’s counter of Sanders, noting his lack of a response wasn’t good for him. “One of...

James WoodsVerified account ‏@RealJamesWoods Think about this: at a huge press event it took some citizen with a cell phone camera to capture the moment that will decide this election.

She’s in trouble, people. First, let’s look at some recent top line data: Trump has a three-point advantage over Clinton among likely voters in the Silver State (43–40 percent). Libertarian Gary Johnson receives eight percent. Nevada voters also can cast a ballot for “none of these,” and that option takes four percent. Green Party candidate Jill Stein is not on the ballot in Nevada. … In North Carolina, Trump is up by five points among likely voters. He receives 45 percent to Clinton’s 40 percent, and 6 percent favor Johnson. Stein is not on the ballot. … The Buckeye State...
