Why do you think the media is doing this? Is it reflexive blindness?

Money. It is less about keeping Trump in the hunt and more about having the democratic coalition voters under stress. Remember the collapse articles on Medium that two authors wrote every single day without fail. Negative stories get a lot of engagement as people get worried and get the urge to act on it. The entire media is gravitating little by little towards the Fox way of doing things.

I think you nailed it. Your observation could be at the core of an entire Series of 'awareness' articles...

Well it’s working. I watched the markets. Mistake number 1. Then I watched the main polling sites. Mistake number 2. Then shifted to Twitter. Mistake number 3. The best approach has been to look for data driven models that look at voting trends. EV, gender, etc. I feel a bit better but I do think to quote Simon Rosenberg I much rather be using than them.

We are up 2 points. They have the ball. 20 seconds on the clock. Is our defense good enough to decent a deep 3? Or will they go for an easy 2 with the foul. You can tell I’m from Kentucky. So the 1992 Duke game makes me very skeptical of politics.

Well the other side has the option to cheat. Our qb knows she ain't git one. So make an interception and give it to her. Let's get the ball with 10 secs on the clock

Agreed. Get the ball. Force them to foul and run out the clock. An analogy for cheating though! lol.
