Fox News Circles The Wagons and Fails – Guy Benson Accidentally Exposes Scheme: Contracted Fox News Pollster is also Fox News Decision Desk Narrator…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | November 4, 2020 | Sundance

Posted on 11/04/2020 7:15:37 PM PST by Golden Eagle

Fox News is currently engaged in full damage control after they exposed themselves with manipulative election coverage and destroyed their credibility in the most brutal fashion imaginable. That said, CTH has written about the Fox Agenda for years, but even we didn’t know the details of the scheme construct until this tweet from Guy Benson:

Setting aside that Benson spelled Daron Shaw’s name wrong; and reminding yourself that Guy Benson is a paid Fox News contributor; what he has outlined in that tweet is actually quite remarkable. The pollster paid by Fox News to predict election outcomes, is a key part of the crew that calls the results on election night. Think about that.

Think about the conflict, the purposeful and brutally obvious conflict, that would exist in using the same person to predict elections and then report on the results of that election.

Obviously a person performing both tasks, predicting & reporting on outcomes, is going to have a self-interest in affirming their predictions; after all, that’s how they are paid.

Not a single person I know, or anyone here at FR believed the polls. At worst it is just irritating to listen to.

What fake polling possibly does is provide cover for fraud.

FYI...the lefty democrat who controlled the Fox decision desk not only was an Obama and Hillary donor but also was also part of those awful polls FoxNews would pull out when they wanted to attack Trump

I am so done with FOX. Hannity, Tucker & Dobbs need to find a new home.

Fix News called Arizona way too early
But never called Florida until they had to.
Chris Wallace, Donna Brazil’s and Juan Williams as panelists. Even Brett Beir seemed to be openly pulling for Biden. It was so obvious. Very disappointed.

Fox will follow the same route Drudge took.

I agree. Watching OANN election night was a breath of fresh air. Honest appraisals, solid questions and they waited until the data was in before calling a state.

And they questioned why Florida wasn’t called until 97% and why WI was
called for Biden even though Trump had a major lead

Time to walk away from Fox News with just a few specific exceptions. Who else has a net work that sometimes reports from a conservative point of view? One America? Who else?
I don’t watch much TV, but many folks still do.

It’s quite obvious now, if it wasn’t already, that political polls are just another weapon of the Left to shape public opinion by picking “winners” and discourage turnout. Put them in the same propagandistic bucket as so called “fact checkers”.

Y’alll seem surprised.

While I have been grateful for the occasional or to RIGHT thinking, I remember Camerota as being one of the best Gals on AM Fox.

Things never are are what they seem.

I quit Fox a few years back and only have used it as a guide ever since.

Daily Mail out of the UK is better.

Hell, they reported on my child caging neighbors before the police or local media arrived.
