5. Except for Fox, of course, I believe that...

most media outlets are only really concerned with ratings, because ratings mean income, and money is the bottom line.

Therefore: More than anything else, in the long run the media wants to be on the winning side, whichever side that is. Siding with the winner is siding with the majority, and siding with the majority is where the ratings come from.

So the more clear it becomes that Obama will be the winner, the more the media will side with him.
