the hartford courant is pulling out all the stops for blumenthal. this is the second paragraph of their debate story:
In the high-stakes televised debate, neither candidate committed any major gaffes. Blumenthal, a Democrat, once again apologized for misstating his military record. McMahon, a Republican, acknowledged that the firm she once ran, World Wrestling Entertainment, had hired D.C. lobbyists. But there was scant mention of steroids, "Girls Gone Wild" or any of the other controversies surrounding WWE.

odd that they report in the second paragraph something that didn't even come up in any significant way during the debate. they may as well have said, "mcmahon did not deny that she regularly eats human babies for dessert".
the land mine that he stepped on about jobs isn't mentioned until the 10th paragraph, and spins it to include the audience laughter when he said he wasn't going to be an entrepreneur as a senator. they made it sound like a "you're no jack kennedy" moment.
unsurprising, I know. annoying nonetheless.
