2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I attended a very conservative oriented business meeting this morning. [View all]world wide wally
(21,776 posts)13. I am catching a distinct split between reality and what the news media is telling us.
I don't know if they are bold faced lying about polls, not to mention the yuuuuuge story about Hillary's emails, or if they are just totally incompetent because then I hear story after story like this. Then the survey of actual voters in Florida or the scholastic news vote among kids which is always accurate.
Is the news media THAT much in the GOP/Trump pocket?

Actually, they want to sell ads. That's why they want the eyeballs watching/listening.
