To the extent we're able to tell (and we probably can't) it sure looks like the *debate* shift in the polls was very modest but the post-debate Dem and media freak-out shift in the polls may be somewhat larger. Still small enough that all of it could easily dissipate quickly. Or not! At any rate...
Media endorsements don't much matter (in high-profile races) but media vibes do, the narrative matters. The NYT endorsed Clinton, but worked its fucking ass off all year to electioneer for Trump.
Sinclair-controlled stations won't endorse at all, but their "local TV news" will hurt Biden a lot.
