turn us all into conspiracy nuts. Like has been said, the goal is to get us to not believe in anything or even think about what is right and what is wrong.
I quit the television news nonsense in the 80, there were still some good print sources then but by the end of the 90s it was hard to find any honest sources. Now we have many liberal and fact based sources on the internet and
DU is a great place to share sources and information.

are behaving like capitalists they are. Everything is a calculation. They know if Trump wins, he will attempt to ruin them if they endorse Harris. If they endorse no one, there’s less chance of that.

I believe the same sort of thing is going on with the polls—NOT those running the polling companies, but the actual participants. The majority of voters see the threat, the danger of Trump. They are not being open about who they support. Certainly not on a phone poll. They don’t trust Trump not to come after them in some way.

I sincerely believe this election is going to be a blowout. All of the little people who are watching Trump’s insanity are sure as hell gonna keep their vote private. They will show up on Election Day. Big time. And the Polls will never see them coming.

gaslighting readers about why the non-endorsement decision was made.

Nearly all are very negative and many say they are long term subscribers who canceled.

Subscriptions had been cancelled.

Carol Leonnig tweeted to ask readers please not to cancel as it would hurt reporters’ ability to bring stories to them.

Leonnig is a WaPo reporter who frequently appears on MSNBC. Folkenflik is an NPR correspondent.

He gave more money to his ex-wife than TFG has ever seen. What does he have to fear? It isn't like he's in Moscow near a window with a pot of tea in front of him.
