The MSM no longer even tries to hide their bias when polled results in average America don’t match their narratives. Turn up the dials – increase the gaslighting.
Two days ago, Investors Business Daily published an extensive poll showing 59% of Americans favored forced deportation if needed in order to gain control of illegal immigration.
The latest IBD/TIPP Poll asked 913 adults coast to coast if they “support or oppose mandatory deportation of illegal immigrants in the U.S.” Not surprisingly, 87% of Trump supporters back the proposal.
What’s surprising is that 59% of the overall public does as well. Mandatory deportation gets majority support in all age groups except 18-24, every income group, among both women and men, at every level of educational achievement, and in rural, urban and suburban regions.
More interesting still is the fact that 64% of independents and 55% of moderates support deportation.
The media went out of their way to ignore the data; it just doesn’t fit the narrative. Quick turn the story around with terra-joules of gaslighting.
As soon as possible The Washington Post and ABC teamed up to take back their narrative.
The vulgarian Trump must be dismissed, Mexican apologist Jeb Bush must be inflated. Quick, hurry, rush to the typeset:
Back in 2012, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney won the white vote 59 percent to 39 percent. He lost Hispanics by a notorious margin, 71-27.
All of which makes Jeb Bush’s numbers in the new Washington Post-ABC News poll fascinating. That’s because the former Florida governor is actually doing better among Hispanics than among whites (albeit within the margin of error).
This is both because Bush does worse than your average Republican among whites and notably better among Hispanics. While 39 percent of whites report a positive impression of him, that number is 43 percent for Hispanics. It’s almost unthinkable that a national GOP figure would face such a dichotomy these days.
Gaslighting Alert – “You must have hispanics” – Gaslighting Alert – “You must have hispanics” – Gaslighting Alert !
Along a similar meme, did you see Pollster Frank Luntz twittering on about the Investors Business Daily poll?
Yeah, me neither….. funny that.
This series of Luntz declarations today seems curiously timed to coordinate with the Washington Post / ABC promotions.
Yeah, funny that…
The Establishment Media and GOPe are quickly gas lighting any news on Trump. They went to work real fast to counter-program the poll that 59% agree with Trump on deportation. It's an astounding poll for the Amnesty NWO Commie Internationalists who are currently posing as the RNC/GOPe.
Sundance at Conservative Treehouse, someone even Rush seems to be reading, nails the GOPevils once again, as they try to push back on the truth that common sense conservative ideas about illegal immigration is winning the day with Trump. Sundance notes that Frank Luntz is tag-teaming the MSM on twitter with his pro amnesty factoids.

Frank goes on and on about bilingualism which are true. But, hey Frank, they can be bilingual in Mexico.
What does it have to do with illegal immigration.

The appeal of that guy is beyond me. Even in the height of the Tea Party heyday, there seemed to be little forensic truth to his in studio “polls”. Weird. I think he did something around the time of Tucson and I remember feeling dissatisfied and lied to after wasting time watching his “poll”.
Reporting the facts and story as they see fit.. @ssholes.
Shouldn’t we, as citizens, be guaranteed freedom of the press?
After all, if the media is biased, then there is no freedom. It is called propaganda.
MSM has been propaganda for years and then you have public schools and universities that preach it which is only part of the problem...the problem is the people listening to it and their inability to know it. They’re to stupid and self absolved to see it.
It hasn't for at least 40 years.

What other kind of deportation is there than forced— suggested deportation— where you suggest that they leave? I think every country in the world has forced deportation— doesn’t it?
59% agree with enforcing existing law?
These polling orgs phrase their questions horribly.
Trump is generating a lot of GOP voter registrations. That’s supposed to be a plus for our side. First they register Republican, then they learn about conservatism (not from the GOP of course), then they become conservatives, then they vote for conservatives.
How is this a bad thing?
One day soon Luntz is going to say something so convoluted his jawbone will shatter.
That will be a good day :)
Funny, our bilingual Hispanics don’t show any cognitive benefits compared to plain old Americans.
Thanks for the ping
Remember when our government and those who considered themselves our betters would lecture us on how to act when traveling to a foreign country?
One of the top recommendations was:
"Do not expect citizens of your host country to speak English."
Oh, how times change.
Very often now we are practically forced to speak a foreign language in our own country.
And we are accused of being racists and worse if we expect Hispanics to speak English.
Gaslighting: I saw drunk guys AND girls do this in college and had no urge to try it.
