Most Say Media, Not Russians, Tilting the Election (Flashback, October 2016)

Rasmussen Reports ^ | 10/18/16

[Faith Presses On]

Most voters aren’t buying the story that the Russians are trying to manipulate the election for Donald Trump but think the U.S. media is trying to swing things for Hillary Clinton.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 56% of Likely U.S. Voters believe it’s more likely that many in the media are working to get Clinton elected president. Just 26% disagree and say it’s more likely that the Russian government is working to get Trump elected. Eighteen percent (18%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Ninety-one percent (91%) of voters supporting Trump think it’s more likely that most in the media are trying to help Clinton. Only 20% of Clinton supporters agree; 56% of her voters believe it’s more likely the Russians are trying to help Trump. But one-in-four Clinton voters (24%) aren’t sure which is more likely.

Fifty-four percent (54%) of all voters think the United States’ worsening relationship with Russia is bad for America. Only 12% think it’s good for this country, while 20% say it will have no impact. Fifteen percent (15%) are undecided. These findings are unchanged from June of last year when both President Obama and then-Republican front-runner Jeb Bush were pushing for tougher sanctions against Russia over the continuing political crisis in Ukraine.

Eighteen percent (18%) are not sure what planet they are living on this week.

This is old news and should have been labeled as such.

They tried to. The NBC tape is just one example.

[Faith Presses On]

It is. It’s labeled as “flashback, October 2016” in the title.

[Faith Presses On]

In all the major reporting on the tape, the MSM never questioned how that tape was forgotten for over 15 months and came out in time to be an October surprise.

Since it was NBC’s control, and this is a matter of election rigging and tampering, it should be investigated by Congress and federal law enforcement.

No one is buying this charade but I guess we just have to let the RATs expose themselves even more, there may still be some thinking people who have not figured it out yet.

The Russians have or attempted to influence elections throughout the world since “The People” overthrew the Czars in 1917. The Intel Community knows this, but the narrative is Trump collusion.

I’m confident they fear Trump will expose them and force them from their entrenchment. Can’t happen soon enough. MAGA

Most interesting. The media’s Trump bashing will never cease. I’ve turned off national and local news for a long time., completely since the inauguration. I check the Internet for headlines and sports and weather. I checked the Facebook thread of one local TV station today for reports of the hockey playoffs and they’re pushing a fake news story of Pastor Joel Osteen flashing a longhorns sign at his son’s graduation from a Texas university where it’s traditional to do this - the media is making a big deal of it because some cultures consider it the devil sign. I knowing sign language and it’s also the I love you sign. But the media is pushing this fake news hit piece probably to drive traffic to their site, maybe because they want to discredit a religious figure. In any case, it’s another reason to distrust their agenda.

The question of “HOW did Russia influence the election?” Is never, ever, disclosed by the lefties. But, it’s blatantly obvious HOW the media “colluded” to sway the election.

That’s why the people are t buying the Russia meme.
