I think the dirty tricks are already starting.

Just received a message from the Orlando Sentinel, which I'm not a subscriber to, and the headline was a crotch grabber.

It said: News Alert: Many voters, including a third of Democrats, want Biden replaced as Democratic nominee

But you go into the body of the message and there is nothing there. Not even a link to the article. It's irresponsible because there is no way to find out who was polled for this incendiary headline.

This is all that was in the header:

1. We are being bombarded right now with propaganda and manipulation.

It is not a coincidence.

2. Facts and figures fallacy

Give 1/3 the headline and ignore that66% want him to stay on.

4. Well, I think the post is political spam, but

Let's all try to remember that Trump has managed to sound like a dominating candidate when polls never showed him above 38% support when he was president.

3. I just posted a similar thought with different examples.

5. I do not believe the NYT/CNN stories about President Biden dropping out

The NYT and CNN are pushing false stories about President Biden dropping out

6. At this stage, the only response that would have any effect is a defamation lawsuit.

The paper will respond that they don't divulge their sources. But, at least we can put a spotlight on the reporter to figure out their political temperature.

7. I've been seeing that in a lot of places: lurid headlines that are totally unsupported by the facts in the story.

"Journalists" write a properly-sourced and balanced story with a number of caveats, then an "editor" with a clear agenda, probably under instructions from upper management, concocts a misleading headline that in no way reflects the actual reporting. It's happened far too many times in recent days.

8. the prudent course

(speaking for myself) is to label anything anti -'Biden, or dropping out trending, as coming from Trump camp. I think trump recently got cash from Saudis to fuel misinfo. That's why the recent surge( plus a hotel deal investment)
