Why Won't Scarborough Release Spiked Iowa Poll Results Showing Strong Sanders Lead?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/03/2020 12:24:29 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

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.

Scarborough knows the results of the spiked Des Moines Register poll, but refuses to release them. Journalistic ethics, or attempting to kill Bernie’s momentum in favor of candidates MSM thinks has better chance to beat President Trump?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

FAKE NEWS

They clearly don't like the results. So they withhold information from the public in hopes that the democratic process will produce the pre-ordained outcomes the Left is demanding.

MSNBC is part of the DNC. Period. Same talking points, buzzwords, and agenda from top to bottom.

They no longer do news. It is all “opinion” all of the time.

Because Joe is not a reporter. He’s a DNC robot slave who does what his masters tell him to do. One of his masters sits beside him.

Get a clue folks. There is a reason that a majority of voters are going for Trump or Bernie. The status quo just isn’t working for most Americans.

Simple fact is whoever wins Iowa is a 100% guaranteed winner of the Democrat nomination

This is of course very rarely TRUe for Republicans ,where ted Cruz won the Iowa caucuses in 2016

Bottom line: the DNC is terrified of one Bernard sanders

Why are they terrified of crazy old Bernie?

Because he’s a naked out and out communist of course!

We’re not shilling for Bernie. We’re just doing our version of Rush’s Operation Chaos back in 2008, when he worked to prop up Hillary in the primaries against Obama.

I heard one report, that some one misspelled or mispronounced Pete Buttgig’s name, which I honestly can never remember how to spell. But that was supposedly justification to embargo the results, because of this alleged confusion about who he was or what the spelling was, or some such manufactured problem.

Oh my goodness.....Is Mika somehow in that position of the master???

Somebody told me “Morning Joe” is a conservative show, because Joe used to be a Republican congressman. And somehow that shows how fair and balanced MSNBC is.

I had not looked at it like that...thanks. Real Democrats are getting squeezed out of the party.

If “everybody knows” something, why would they work so hard to avoid mentioning something which is supposedly common knowledge????

Because they don't want the Sheeple to know the Democrat Choo-choo has gone around the bend?

. . . until they figure out how to spin it, anyway.

Because Scarborough works for the Ministry of Truth, and they are not happy with the result.

Sanders is a complete scum and commie POS sh*t but I will say the DNC is screwing him over again. It is also sickening that old white fool has such a following.

Scarborough was told by his Deep State/Pockets bosses to spike the news about Bernie winning the poll.

So being a good professional liar, he spiked the results

Which sites are doing that?

The American media is meddling in our elections far worse than any government on earth.

In that relationship? I would bet money on it.

Whatever common sense and free will he had he long ago flushed down the toilet on orders from her.
