“The upcoming November 3, 2020 election is a ripe target for peddlers of misinformation and false, manipulated content, including media polls. The June 8, 2020 CNN poll is designed to mislead American voters through a biased questionnaire and skewed sampling.
“Therefore, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. is formally requesting that CNN retract its skewed poll by publishing a full, fair, and conspicuous retraction, apology, and clarification to correct its misleading conclusions.”
—Actual letter of June 9 by Donald Trump attorney Jenna Ellis to CNN, demanding a retraction of its poll results which show Trump trailing Joe Biden by double digits.
“To my knowledge, this is the first time in its 40-year history that CNN has been threatened with legal action because an American politician or campaign did not like CNN’s polling results.
“To the extent we have received legal threats from political leaders in the past, they have typically come from countries like Venezuela or other regimes where there is little or no respect for a free and independent media.”
—Letter of June 10 from CNN to Ellis, explaining to her “how free speech works,” and telling her, in effect, to go pound sand up her a**. [Folks, if a politician (or someone acting on his behalf) threatening the media with legal action over something so benign as a poll doesn’t scare the bejeezus out of you, nothing will—or you are more dedicated to a tyrant than you are to your country. I’m afraid it’s that simple.]
So who will Trumpers believe? Bingo.
Not sure who you mean. The hate groups? The fringe element? The white supremacists? The racists? The gullible? The ignorant? The evangelicals? The sycophants? The worshippers? The rich? The gun rights groups? The wear no masks simpletons? Or, maybe you mean all of the above.
All of the above.
Pretty much anyone on the other side of the political fence, if shown CJ’s comment would assume you were talking about the other side. That is the problem with the direction of politics over the past 10-20 years. People are polarized and see zero good in others who do not share their beliefs.
Example; who is “hate group” KKK or Antifa ? Fringe element? White supremacists ? Gullible ? Ignorant ? Sycophants ? “No mask simpletons” ? “Rich” ? “Gun rights groups”? I have heard both sides accuse other side of most of those categories.
More “projection” by the king of misinformation and false, manipulated content.
Come on Mr.Tom, you of all people know that these fine upstanding people would never doanything wrong? NOT! This is why everyone loves you Mr. Tom. You are like a die hardbattery and never ever quit. You don’t know it but I pray for you and your family everyday forhow you exposed the truth. I know you helped me and I will NEVER forget what you have done to expose the corruption in our Parish. I hold your book dear to my heart and it sleeps right on the shelf in my bedroom each night where I can see it before I close my eyes to sleep.I never dreamed that someone would EVER put the truth to printed words in ten life times.Louisiana is corrupt to the core. Mike Edmonson should be in jail. I have to say though, that in my situation in my parish had it not been for State Police we would not have Jack for law-enforcement. State Police Troop C has the BEST NARCOTIC DEPT. EVER. I have done someundercover work on my own for years and always provided it to a trooper who is now deceased and was never ratted out. I collected, passed it to them and watch them bust it. I NEVER tookthe law into my own hands. So if anyone sees illegal activity they only have themselves to blame,my motto is: YOU WILL ONLY HAVE AROUND YOU WHAT YOU TOLERATE. Being the person]I am who hates to see drugs in children’s possession I stay pretty darn busy. Anyone can do it.Just when I think I am going to give it up and relax here comes another victim and I am rightback at again. God is good Mr.Tom and what you do each day is GOD DRIVEN AND HE HASCHOSEN YOU AS HIS SPECIAL ONE TO DO IT. THANK YOU MR. TOM, YOU ARE THE GREATEST AND WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBEREDFOR YOUR GREAT TALENTS, ALWAYS. MAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY STAY SAFE THIS HURRICANE SEASON!! BARB
