The New York Times needs to be more subtle in covering up their fraudulent poll results. This was much too easy to detect.

The results may be fraudulent.. but keep your eyes open Freepers.

Even if the results were true.. Bill Kristol is schilling for his GOP-E friend Tom Cotton.

Cotton is no friend of Conservatives. But he’s better than Pryor.

The poll may reflect votes the Demonrats intend to steal.

I read it this morning, wrote it off to BS immediately, and went on to read postings more worthy of my limited time. I generally don’t read NYT as they have pretty much shot their credibility to nil.

It doesn’t matter that it is easily disproven on closer inspection. NYT knows that the low information voter will take it as-is.

Bias doesn’t need to be hidden anymore. Didn’t you get the memo?

Objective journalism is dead.

The usual suspects will regurgitate this in the media echo chamber and it will become “fact” whether true or not.

The dirty secret of ‘polls’ is that the purchaser can ‘commission’ [’buy’ for those in Rio Linda] the results they desire.

Want a poll FOR something or someone? No problem.

Want a poll AGAINST something or someone? No problem.

Polling companies know how to word poll questions to get a desired result.

Media has used ‘commissioned’ polls for decades to drive headlines in a specific direction.

Conclusion: Polls are useless propaganda.

A democrat won’t win another statewide election in Arkansas. I know that was bogus.

That’s your Senate Majority Leader, America.

Nowhere in any of those speeches did Reid mention his own multi-bilionaire political sugar daddy, Tom Steyer, who’s pledged $100 million help elect Democrats. Nope, only conservatives try to “buy our democracy,” or something. Meanwhile, Reid and his deep-pocketed liberal super PAC are being raked over the coals by fact-checkers for a series of lie-filled ads running against Republicans. Left-leaning Politifact rates an attack on vulnerable Sen. Mark Pryor’s opponent “false,” while the Washington Post awards Four Pinocchios to a separate spot running to help Sen, Mary Landrieu in Louisiana:

This is the third time in a month that the Fact Checker has given Four Pinocchios to an ad sponsored by Senate Majority PAC. That’s a pretty dreadful track record, and does little for the organization’s credibility more than six months before the midterm elections.

Indeed. One fun fact noted by WaPo: Senate Majority PAC has been heavily funded by...”out of state billionaires.” National Journal’s Ron Fournier is disgusted with Reid, and says that the media should be ashamed of themselves if they let the Nevada Senator get away with his string of lies:

Friendly reminder: Harry Reid has received Koch cash through a lobbyist, and his second in command hauled in a direct contribution, for which he thanked the Kochs with a signed letter.

Well, actually credit is due to the New York Times for boosting manufacturing here in these United States. That commie rag daily manufactures:

Who are the Times trying to demoralize with this suspicious poll? I’m not sure there are any Cotton supporters who read the Times. However, they may watch broadcasts or cable shows on which these suspicious numbers will be repeated, I suppose.

Jon Steward will receive this poll and tell his audience, “Mark Pryor is winning, neener-neener-neee-nerrr!” And then, he’ll play clips of FOX News talking heads, carefully edited to make them sound stupid, as usual.
