CNN ^ | Feb 18 2016 | CNN

Posted on 02/18/2016 12:23:03 PM PST by WilliamIII

Donald Trump hasn't taken kindly to the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal national poll that put him in second place for the first time this primary season. "That phony Wall Street Journal poll that came out yesterday was, in my opinion, it was a fix....It was a Rupert Murdoch hit. It was just a Rupert Murdoch hit," Trump told SiriusXM's Breitbart News Daily on Thursday.

Pretty easy to change the outcome of a poll when you change the poll weight to over sample the other candidates best demographic.

I bet they were surprised it went Cruz and not Rubio.

for those old time gamers this should bring a smile.

The Illuminati Song (to the tune of The Beatles Eleanor Rigby) by Steve Jackson, Joe Vail and Creede Lambard

Illuminati...
They put a thing made of tinfoil on top of my door...
What is it for?

Illuminati...
Shooting a ray at my cornflakes to make them turn green...
What does it mean?

The Illuminati... They’re watching me, I know.
The Illuminati... They’re everywhere I go.

Illuminati...
Doing unspeakable things in the night to a cow...
Where are they now?

Illuminati...
Sent an impostor in place of the Popsicle man...
What is their plan?

The Illuminati... They’re watching me, I know.

The Illuminati... They’re everywhere I go.

Illuminati...
They cancelled Star Trek, The Fonz, and My Mother, the Car...
Are they bizarre?

You can’t escape them;
Even if you take a plane to Nepal or Peru...
They’ll be there, too...

The Illuminati... They’re watching me, I know.
The Illuminati.... They’re everywhere I go.

I know that they know all about me...
They know that I know all about them...

Illuminati...
Hide their assassins’ instructions in newspaper text...
Who will be next?

They’re all around us...
Underline every third word in the Times and you’ll see...
How can it be?

The Illuminati... They’re watching me, I know.
The Illuminati... They’re everywhere I go.

They’re in the attic and the cellar...
Bigger than Hunt or Rockefeller...

Illuminati...
Go through my garbage and count all the pop bottles there...
Why do they care?

They’re out to get me...
They’re fluoridating my water from their UFO...
What do they know?

The Illuminati... They’re everywhere, I see.
The Illuminati... And no one knows but me.

Three Strikes - 3rd Time This Campaign Season NBC/WSJ Caught Promoting Agenda Polls
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 02/17/2016 | Sundance
Posted on 2/17/2016, 4:57:15 PM by PJBankard

The team of NBC and Wall Street Journal (Rupert Murdoch owned) has struck again with their latest highly coordinated and heavily manufactured latest “Agenda Poll”. We have previously revealed NBC/WSJ’s prior two constructs.......

[SNIP]

Remember, an “agenda poll” is not created to show a statistical snapshot of the presidential race. An “agenda poll” has nothing to do with the support. Agenda Polls are manufactured to create media talking points, to create media narratives.

Agenda polling is about setting out to make a story, to sell a specific narrative, by using polling as the means to justify the story you are selling. Nothing more, and nothing less.

It was a hit. 100%.

The old dirty tricks aren’t getting over the head of the electorate anymore.

Go Trump Go!

I don’t blame Trump of firing off on it.

The media still claim Carson was on top for about the amount of time a human can hold their breath.

Fact is, Carson was never anywhere close to the top.

This is merely a repeat. Some folks just love to wallow in these idiotic claims.

maybe even 150% or 200%... so sad.

at least do what djt friend Hanity said and just call it an “outlier “ but of course with djt he would have to change the spelling.

Every other poll has Trump leading nationally by double-digits. Trump is right.

This poll of which he speaks was a joke.

A bombshell new report claims it’s because of Fox News’ founder’s deep connections to the open borders lobby. Murdoch is the co-chair of a powerful pro-amnesty organization – Partnership for a New American Economy (PNAE) – which is the strongest lobby for illegal aliens in America.

Just so we’re on the record, what are your plans when Trump wins the nomination. “He won’t” will not suffice as an answer. Let’s assume that he does.

What will you do on election day?

How wonderfully childish. Cannot respond rationally so instead just post an infantile snark to avoid having to respond to data that challenges your emotion based opinions.

you should have kept reading other comments. but feel free to not see any humor in the world save that that djt tells you to laugh at.

It may be an outlier, but then again the it may not, going straight to the “the are all out to get me its all lies etc...” is a bit on the paranoid side.

Trump is probably right about his assessment of the poll. There have been several polls taken since the debate, and that one was the ONLY one showing Cruz ahead.

So if it comes out in another couple of days and shows Trump winning, will it still be a Rupert Murdoch hit?

This fixation with polls makes him sound like Capt. Queeg and the strawberries. It’s more than a little weird.

Good. Call them out, Trump!

It was a poll with an “agenda” attached to it. Everybody knew it.
