Tag team: Polls, media join forces to close in on Trump
Jennifer Harper November 01, 2020

Fast and furious: That is how the polls are arriving at the moment, cascading into news coverage as Election Day looms large. In the past 48 hours, horse race polls were released by NBC News/Wall Street Journal, Fox News, CBS News, CNN, ABC/Washington Post, The New York Times/Siena College and Emerson College. More are on the way.

These surveys are intricate and often embellished with findings that gauge voter enthusiasm, push Democratic nominee Joseph R. Biden’s lead in swing states, or compare his personality traits with those of President Trump. Such findings often make their way into headlines that produce bad optics for Mr. Trump and conflicting or mixed messages for voters.

“Trump lead in Iowa poll rattles Democrats but Biden still leads nationally,” The Guardian noted.

“President Trump trails Joe Biden by 10 points nationally in final days of election,” said The Wall Street Journal.

The time has come to enact laws that regulate the media to focus more on truth, versus manufacturing news.  They should be subject to harsher rules for slander and libel.  And networks that spew forth nonsense like CNN should have their broadcast license suspended for 1, 3 5 years when they pull the crap they do.

And outfits like Facebook, Google, etc should be fined $1 billion every time they deem it necessary to edit anyone on their platforms that is politically related to USA comments, events, etc when they leave posted crap coming from places like Iran and other terrorist supporting enterprises.
