"Fake" Poll against Trump's phrase "Fake News" touted by Drudge
Various ^ | 12/19/17 | Vanity

Posted on 12/19/2017 11:31:47 AM PST by drpix

What's with Drudge and his headline and link to a fake Marist Poll of "most annoying phrases." Marist's article on the poll writes about "Fake news" but doesn't go so far as the make that their headline and then Drudge takes that extra step and make his headline about "Fake news."


TOPICS: Politics/Elections

- Drudge Headline: "POLL: Americans say 'fake news' annoying phrase..."

- Linked Article Headline: "12/18: “Whatever” Loses Ground but Retains Annoying Word Title"

And in fact the underling data of this poll reveals it to be fake and completely rigged.

Those polled are not asked for what word or phrase they find most annoying. They are instead asked "Which of the following words or phrases...?" Thus they must choose between 6 words/phrases Marist determined to include and Marist included "Fake news." (See header of table at link: Marist's Header & Table for the Actual Data of This Poll)

Not only has "Fake news" been included because Marist decided to put it there, but it is the only word/phrase included that is politically charged ("Whatever" "Fake news" "No offense, but" "Literally" "You know what I mean" and "unsure").

So while Marist gives anti-Trump liberals the opportunity to register their annoyance at "Fake news" (and Trump) - Marist will never include phrases like "Politically correct," or "Religion of Peace" to give conservatives their opportunity to register their annoyance at those phrases. CAN A POLL BE MORE RIGGED & "FAKE NEWS?"

Fake news is not Trumps phrase. He uses it, but it didn’t originate with him.

No surprise. Drudge has gone full blown lib in the last few months. A democrat operative must be threatening to leak some compromising bathhouse video on him or something...

Fake news creates a fake poll to lie about the phrase Fake news.

This because fake news hates that phrase and sees themselves as deeply in touch with the american people, therefor, the american people must then hate it too.

True, i remember it well.

The phrase Fake News was started by the actual Fake News, to explain why people rejected Hitlery.
When people heard it, the truth in it resonated the way truth always does.

It was then adopted on mass by the public but redirected right back at them.

I think thats a big part of why they hate it so much, i know its why i love repeating it so.

Drudge is just letting everyone know what the “Narrative” is going to be promoted by the Leftists.

To control Minds, the Left have to control the phrases and language-—and they know how CRUCIAL that is to determine the perceptions of the ignorant masses.

They want the term “Fake News” to disappear, as much as they do the words husband and wife and mother and father and “true” marriage from our dictionary so they can remove truth (Natural Law/our Constitution) from reality and totally remove the concepts from the minds of little children so there is no capability of understanding anything—much less the past or the minds of a Newton, Tesla or Jefferson.

They are after a totally insane, mentally ill populace who are totally controlled and addicted to the products of the elite psychopaths (sodomites/Ba’al Rite worshippers) for their Brave New World of serfdom and slavery so the useless eaters will be able to be eliminated and no family members will exist to protest-—no biological connections will exist, as in Marx’s utopia.

The media is now, in keeping with their Orwellian instincts, trying to make it a taboo phrase. As it has done with so many other words/phrases that convey truth.

23% found the phrase ‘annoying’. The headline is misleading. Fake news?

All internet pills are worthless. Bots bot more bots and users with multiple accounts. Some in the hundreds.
