Thoughts my Freerepublic friends?
Aka, a RATagandist.
Liberal media bias has long been an open secret. But now it’s so bad that even a liberal mainstream newspaper notes that, in an effort to destroy Donald Trump, the media have jumped the shark.
Clinton vs. Trump? No, It’s the Media vs. America

I’ve been calling Barbara Streisand on these polls for weeks.
Pretty much shows the division in the country.
Bush won by a handful 16 years ago.
Been a long time since a blowout.
But with kids staying home or voting green, hillary has no chance, imo.
No, I think they are all really tied.
Does anyone actually think to themselves.. “I was going to vote for Trump but he is behind in the polls so i am all in for hillary.” ?
I’ve said it in previous elections.
Polls do not just settle into a “tie” this often. This is the same as tossing quarters and constantly hitting an even number of heads and tails.
Honestly before 2000 you never saw this.
It is seriously just to keep things “hot” and the clicks coming in.
Undecideds broke for Obama both times.
Same voters are likely to break for Hillary.
Don’t be surprised if the Obama coalition powers her to victory in November.
The polls will stay tight to frighten the Democrat Dependent Class and so that the results won’t look so strange when the Democrats fool with the vote totals on Election Day.
McCain and Romney both gave up in September.
Before Cleveland, it was reported that high ranking democrats were “FREAKING OUT” because their own polling showed Trump with a wide lead.
This reporting continued for weeks until suddenly after the democrat convention Clinton zooms ahead by double digits.
Yeah, sure.
And of course, the democrat lovefest was preceded by media uniting to hammer Trump’s convention speech for being “Dark”.
Yeah, sure.
They know they’ve lost the voters.
But they still think they’ve won the election, why?
Here is one reason:

They have to show it sort of close or their audiences would lose interest.
If one is shown miles ahead, that could elicit sympathy for the one behind. They certainly do no want to portray Clinton as waaaaaaaaaay behind.
The polls are relatively meaningless anyway at this stage. After the debates, it will be much more significant.

Clinton sort of reminds me of Kerry 2004. Neither have much in the way of personality, pizzaz, sparkle, excitement, accomplishments. Yet, in 2004, Kerry almost pulled out an upset. Many in the media actually thought he did — until the actual results started coming in.
Following the tracking polls in 2012 and this year, the general pattern is that the Republicans gain the lead during and immediately after the Republican convention, the Democrats gain the lead during and immediately after the Democrat convention, and then the polls revert to their original standing as "normal" people pay attention to women's beach volleyball.
After Labor Day "normal people" will begin to pay attention to the election.
Anyone notice Farage’s remarks about polls? He said Brexit was losing by 10 points in the polls (may have really been slightly less than 10) but they won big. It was people in the rural areas and north and working class who probably weren’t being counted. Same thing is operating here.
The difference is that they didn’t have the Black Community behind them like Trump has:
If you remove those numbers and recalculate you will find Trump with a much higher poll number and Hillary with a much smaller one.
Precisely why the Founding Fathers designed the electoral college in the first place.
Trump Tsunami on the way.
Polls drive news and revenue. Bet they are desperate since Trump not spending any money. My eye is on what they plan to do with exit surveys. Romney had the election stolen, in my opinion, and the media covered it up by opting several weeks before the election to not do exit surveys. Avoided disparities between the exit poll and precinct votes. Wonder what happens this year?
Well its so obvious that the media HAS to fabricate this neck and neck auto type of race, three laps to go type of drama to keep their viewers glued to the advertisers during commercial breaks its sickening.
Not even the most hard core Hillary supporter belives its a virtual tie, they are TOLD its a virtual tie the same as if they were North Koreans and their officials fear that if they knew the truth they would leave or attempt to leave.
The polls are PROPAGANDA. THE REAL POOLS are brushed aside, if the lie is told often enough no matter its size it becomes the truth.
