- 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.

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.

Drudge is off my rotation. I’ve replaced that nutjob with https://thelibertydaily.com/ - the alternative to Drudge.

Matt Drudge has embraced the National Football League business model...

Insult and mock your best customers!

Drudge posts his daily, monthly, and annual clicks on the lower right side of his page.

Has anyone noticed if Drudge Report views are declining?

If all we get from government agencies such as the FBI, are lies, we can be assured their collusive media is nothing but a machine to broadcast and disseminate those lies.

Why the phrase “fake news” when there has long been the word “lies?”

Drudge has been against Trump for a long time now. Don’t know why he has become hostile, but I don’t even read him anymore.
