[See NewsBusters for more.] Moving past a Hillary Clinton victory, ABC now sees a Democratic Senate “likely.” Reporter Jon Karl touted his conclusion, Monday, ignoring past media botches on predictions. Good Morning America’s George Stephanopoulos hyped, “Control of Congress at stake in this election. Both in GOP hands right now. Those majorities may be in jeopardy.”
Replying to Stephanopoulos’s note that the Democrats need just four Senate seats, Karl responded, “That's looking more likely. Democrat odds of winning the Senate have gone up as Donald Trump's campaign has gone down.”
