Insufferable “Media Polling” Begins The Pendulum Game Again…
The Last Refuge/Conservative Treehouse ^ | August 20, 2016 | sundance

Posted on 08/21/2016 4:07:12 AM PDT by Bratch

Last month we shared a warning to ignore the predictable post convention media polling nonsense.  That warning remains valid today.

Just because the media is predictably beginning to sell poll stats beneficial to Donald Trump doesn’t mean they are any less manipulated.

trump momentum

It’s all nonsense.  All of it.  Polls don’t swing 20 to 30 +/- points every few weeks.

The media outlets conducting these polls have the same bias in their statistical representation as they publish in their daily event articles.  

Examples:

cnn swim

CNN stated unequivocally an Olympic swimmer was suspended.  It was entirely made up. The U.S. Olympic Committee told Reuters it was entirely a manufactured story with no basis in truth.

Example #2

CNN lies 1

CNN manufactured a story about Donald Trump being questioned by the Secret Service for comments made during a speech.  The Secret Service told Reuters the entire story was completely false, it never happened.  CNN made the entire story up.   They didn’t get the story wrong – They made it up.

Example #3

CNN Cyron

CNN manufactures a completely false story about Milwaukee violence and attributes the exact opposite claims to the Victim’s Sister.  CNN made it up.  They didn’t get it wrong – They intentionally manufactured the spin.

Example #4

CNN heritage screen shot 1

CNN manufactures a totally false claim of Donald Trump using a litmus test of “heritage” for possible Supreme Court Justices.  The claim has no merit and is totally false.  Donald Trump used a well known think tank called “The Heritage Foundation” for judicial vetting.

These examples of ridiculous media bias are all within the past week.  Do you really think this same media outlet would not manipulate the same intent with their “polling”?

Think about it.

If you remove the “media narratives”… Factually, there is nothing to indicate Donald Trump was ever behind Hillary Clinton; and factually there is nothing to indicate Hillary Clinton even carries broad-based support.

Right now there is a ridiculous amount of media manipulation, optics and narratives, on display virtually daily.

The media might gnash their teeth about the lack of trust in their presentations, but how can CNN even protest such an opinion while their past weeks historical record of inaccuracy and bias speaks for itself.

Remember this tweet?  “anti-ISIS” equals “radical new U.S. policy”.

Do you really think the same media outlets who produce this nonsense can present factual scientific data absent of manipulation amid the inputs and methodology?

Famous image of "emaciated muslims" caged behind Serb barbed wire during the Kosovo War.

This was actually shot from behind barbed wire by the 'journalist' to create the impression of starving muslims in a prison camp - but was actually a refugee collection camp. Scenes like this were endless manufactured by the Clinton Press to galvanize and justify his war on Christians and former US allies while taking the spotlight off him and his traitorous activities (Wag the Dog).

Who could forget the seemingly endless lines of refugees entering a hilltop safe zone? But the same 'refugees' exited the rear of the camp and circled round the hill to enter once again ...

What is a country without a free press?
North Korea?
Albania?
East Germany of old?
I used to feel horrified by what these countries endured
Who would have thought in my lifetime....

Excellent post. We must not forget what the “media” in this country really are. ((There are a few exceptions, but very few.))

Hey Democrats,

You are the ones that the media is lying to. You are the ones that the media wants to manipulate. The Democrat party is their party, not yours.

If a story is demonstrably false, and causes even the least harm (to one’s reputation, shall we say) then sue them into the ground!

CNN can claim “Freedom of the Press” all day long but the judge might not be so amused when the words “libel” and “slander” are included.

Trump needs to consider a few well-placed legal shots.

THIS JUST IN---Twitter's Mass Purge of Those Expressing 'Extremist' Ideas (means you and me)

Freak-named Twitter is the electronic Sturmabteilung closing ranks....
and it's on the march....just hear those toe-stepping jack-boots paving
the way for Boobamba to takeover our elections.

Such party loyalty.......the whiff of 1940's era Europe assaults the nostrils.

Just like that (snaps fingers), Twitter creates "the Master Race."
The little paper-hanger would be proud.

====================================================

THE DAwN OF VOTER FRAUD----Bill Clinton signs motor voter bill of 1993.

Guess who is looking over his shoulder?
