DRUDGE HEADLINES LAST NIGHT ~ A PLETHORA OF POLLS
R. A. Schultz
INTRO: Last night’s (20200113) Drudge front page displays three links to bullsh*t polls:
Tight polls, impeachment, billionaire wild cards: Uncertainty reigns in 2020 Dem race...
|
POLL: 66% Want To See Bolton Testify In Senate Impeachment Trial...
POLL: Hollywood less trustworthy than govt or Wall St..
MY TAKE: It seems that whenever there is a proliferation of polls in the news, there is no real news. The Make-Believe Media finds it necessary to justify their continued existence by going out and asking mythical people what they FEEL about various subjects having only a peripheral relationship to subject matter that is only relatively important.
The MBM polls in the lead-up to the 2016 election were notoriously WRONG! My favorite reference is the one: “There is a 92% probability that Hillary Clinton will be elected president.” This one appeared in several “news”papers at 9:00 AM EST on the morning of Election Day, 2016.
The consistency with which the political polls of 2016 were wrong has led many, myself among them, to believe that many polls are simply made up out of the rarified air of various press rooms by agenda-driven worshippers of the multitudes of leftist non-personalities.
As to Drudge’s offering last evening: I call BULLSH*T on ALL of them!
