Full Title- Pat Caddell on 'Cooked' Reuters Poll: 'Never in My Life Have I Seen a News Organization Do Something So Dishonest'
On Sunday's Breitbart News Daily with SiriusXM host Alex Marlow, political strategist Pat Caddell outlined his charge that Reuters tampered with its own daily tracking poll to manufacture a sudden surge for Hillary Clinton.
"They not only changed their formula, to put Hillary ahead. They went back and changed the results, for a week of results where Trump was ahead, and then they turned those into Hillary leads," said Caddell. "They also erased all the former polling off the site. They didn't tweak their procedure - they cooked it."
"Never in my life have I seen a news organization, and a supposedly reputable poll, do something so dishonest," Caddell continued. "What they have done is, they decided the people who said, 'oh, I'm never for someone' - oh, those must be Hillary votes. They used to be Trump voters."
"They made a switch, as much as nine points, in their results from the beginning of last week, the 25th and 26th. It is, beyond doubt, the most outrageous thing," he declared, noting that results in three- and four-way polls that include independent candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein were also skewed.
"This is what the media is willing to do, to try to elect her," Caddell said. "This poll is nothing but a part of a media offensive. In the 45 years since I was a child, in top-level presidential campaigns, I have never seen the media on such a jihad, and so involved in hiding facts, and not following up. This is a crisis of democracy, what the press is now doing."

More from the Last Honest Democrat (who knows polling as he had nailed Reagan’s 1980 win to the fraction of a point).
Buckle up, you knew this was coming. The media is either going to get her elected, or destroy what tiny shards of their credibility remain trying.
Crooked Hillary Will Try to Steal the Election From Trump

Yup. And if the shooting ever starts, I hope these same media folk are among the first who are strung up.
Welcome to the republican party.....
Pat was a Bernie Supporter....my guess is he may vote for Trump......
Anyone got a link to on this from some other site? I just can’t do Breitbart. It is the most annoying website in the conservative web.
Hey Pat, look around..the ENTIRE MEDIA is in the tank for Hillary Clinton and that includes Fox News, I cant even watch them anymore..they dont investigate ANYTHING negative about Hillary Clinton its 100 percent non stop attacks on Trump..Id rather watch North Korean news even they are not THIS bad
Yep...it’s good news though. If the wanna be stupids think Hillary will win, they may stay home.
What was Pat’s take on the 2012 election, where most news organizations pretended Obama’s first four years were a success? That to me is the gold standard for media dishonesty...far worse even than 2008 (when the same organizations pretended Obama was American and a Christian)...
Oh, I would HIGHLY suggest in the case of any real civil unrest if someone is a known member of the mainstream media they better hope they are on the last plane out.
Maybe their bosses at the DNC ordered them to make the changes?
Leftie pundits were bragging about this poll. Now we know it’s a sham.
Pat is hot over this one....can’t say as I blame him
In Cleveland the media spent an inordinate time talking about an infinitesimally small number of protestors. The largest protest march was a very well behaved group of 400 BLMers. There were a couple other marches demonstrations of 150 or so. All the media covered was the tiny groups like the communists and the anarchists that numbered between 25 and 50.
In Philadelphia there were thousands of protestors which were barely covered by the media, even Fox. The fix was in, no news about protestors. The media is manipulating the story because, as shown by the hacked DNC emails, there is collusion going on between the media and the DNC.
Democrats & the media have been bedfellows for a long time, what is different is their not bidding it anymore.
“This is a crisis of democracy, what the press is now doing.”

Yes it is. And I will say it again - Most of today’s “journalists” or “news” outlets don’t think their job is to be objective and investigative. Oh, maybe they want the public to think they are. But I think most - the vast majority - of people in that business see it as their job to advance democrat party narratives and memes and to destroy the alternatives. The DNC emails leaked by wikileaks showed beyond any reasonable doubt that specific outlets and prominent media personalities were openly colluding with the DNC. The “journolist” scandals seen in previous elections showed the same thing.
News media in the US today is mostly just an arm of the DNC propaganda machine and there is not much real journalism left in America.
The next 3+ months are going to be hellish firestorm of Mediascum cheating, lying, and propaganda.... in synch with Clinton, DNC, and all-Democrats cheating, lying, and propaganda. The past Democrat election campaigns are going to look so mild in comparison.
I disagree. They should shelter in place and wait for help to come. They’re special. No one would harm them. We need to reinforce that with them at every opportunity.
Reuters is the most dishonest of the MSM, and that’s saying something. Rigged polls are not unusual at all, but publicly rigging one to this extent is new.
