Why Won't Scarborough Release Spiked Iowa Poll Results Showing Strong Sanders Lead?

Joe Scarborough knows the results of the spiked Des Moines Register poll on the Iowa caucuses. And they apparently show Bernie Sanders with a big lead.

So why is Scarborough refusing to disclose them? Yes, the newspaper decided to spike the results because it was concerned about a possible problem with its methodology. But that surely doesn't bind Scarborough. Aren't reporters supposed to report? Let Scarborough release the results, and let people decided for themselves how reliable they are. Scarborough can explain the possible problem with the polling to put the results in context.

So why are Joe and other MSM members suppressing the poll? Is this good journalism . . . or an effort by the liberal media to dampen Sanders' momentum, in favor of candidates they deem more likely to be able to defeat President Trump?

On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough said "everybody knows" the results of the Des Moines Register poll. Without disclosing the results, he strongly implied that they show Sanders with a lead greater than the 7% he had over Joe Biden in the Emerson poll, the most recent one that has been released.

If Slo Joe is still in the run in the California primary, there might be a lot of new voters for the Commie from Vermont.

Mission Accomplished – Chaos in Iowa Caucuses Helps and Hurts All The Right Candidates…

From the DNC Club’s perspective there were three strategic needs surrounding the Iowa caucuses: (1) Hide the collapse of Joe Biden; (2) Diminish the win by Bernie Sanders; and (3) cover-up a less than enthusiastic voter turnout. Given the nature of very public primary races, this three-pronged challenge seemed almost impossible.

Almost.
