New Poll Finds 92% of Democrats Uninformed, Ignorant and Easily Played

The far left #FakeNews media has been wrong all year.


The liberal mainstream media has pushed the conspiracy that the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia during the 2016 election to defeat Hillary Clinton.

This was all a lie.
In fact, it was Hillary Clinton and the DNC who   colluded to defeat Bernie Sanders   in the primary and then colluded with Russia. Democrats and the Obama FBI   paid cash   for a fake Russian dossier so they could spy on Donald Trump at Trump tower.

But Democrat voters are ignorant.
And Democrats rely on the fact that they are   stupid   and   easily played .

A new poll released this week by   CBS News   found that 92% of Democrats believe Trump advisors had improper dealings with Russia.


democrats-trump-russia-dopes.jpg

The poll claims   43%   of Republicans believe the fairy tale… which is complete rubbish.

Of course, Republican voters are correct. After a year of screaming liberal media headlines and conspiracy theories there is NO EVIDENCE that any Trump official made improper contact with the Russians.


This was all a media lie to destroy Trump.

In fact, the only evidence of "collusion" has been that Hillary Clinton, and the DNC were the ones who colluded with the Russians!  The revelations of this past week have been nothing short of amazing, and if I were a Democrat, I would be deeply ashamed and embarrassed.

The far left #FakeNews media has been wrong all year. (Who can debate that?)

The liberal mainstream media has pushed the conspiracy that the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia during the 2016 election to defeat Hillary Clinton. (At this point after a year, it's still a conspiracy)

This was all a lie.
In fact, it was Hillary Clinton and the DNC who   colluded to defeat Bernie Sanders   in the primary and then colluded with Russia. Democrats and the Obama FBI   paid cash   for a fake Russian dossier so they could spy on Donald Trump at Trump tower. ( And this is true and common knowledge )

But Democrat voters are ignorant.

A new poll released this week by   CBS News   found that 92% of Democrats believe Trump advisors had improper dealings with Russia. (This comes directly from CBS)

Here is the link to it:

The Gateway Pundit put their political spin to it, but the facts are derived from CBS, which is one of the Fake News outlets, so maybe you're correct.

Also, as I've said before "Mediabiasfactcheck.org" is an outfit in Greensboro, NC, which is rated the most Liberal city in North Carolina and run by a fellow and his volunteers.  I use them and move all Lefties to the left one notch and all righties to the left one notch to be a little more accurate.

I would really like to hear your thoughts.

I moved to Greensboro back in 2007.

I live on the north side of Greensboro, 10 years later..my area does not feel traditionaly southern at all, (I grew up in lexington N.C so my definition of southern may differ from yours) i don't see many "small" traditionally southern churches except on the outskirts of the city around the suburbs (summit etc), however i do see alot of coffee shops and vape shops, the apartment complex i live in..is full of transplants, alot from new jersey, new york, MD and PA and a few from CA. there is a massive freeway loop being built in my back yard over wet lands and nobody seems to mind the everchanging traffic patterns..

I'm going by the source of this article, which is Gateway Pundit, not CBS.

Factual Reporting: HIGH
Notes: CBS News is a mainstream USA media source. CBS News has a left-center bias in reporting and is usually well sourced and factual. (5/16/2016)

Compare the two and, you will see a distinct difference.

Even using your standards, CBS is far more trustworthy than the Gateway Pundit. Saying that I would trust CBS over Gateway Pundit is one thing, I would also add this, CBS did post the exact same story, then prove it by posting the link.

That also includes over 40% of your supposedly brilliant republicans.

Trump advisers HAVE been found to have had improper dealings with Russian operatives, we've already had two guilty pleas and more to come. The conservative joke website "Thegatewaypundit" claims "No evidence" when faced with mountains of it, that's the real fake news, conservatives still believing their lies.

But, Pelosi merely doubled down on the end-of-the-world claim – adding that tax reform is “Armageddon” and “like death”:

“No, it is the end of the world. The debate on health care is like death. This is Armageddon.

“This is a very big deal. Because you know why? There's really a very hard way to come back from this. They take us further, more deeply into debt. What can you do but raise taxes?

“They contend that their gift to corporate America -- a trillion and a half dollars -- will be paid for by the growth it creates. And even their own people say, 'Nonsense, not true, not true.' So let's be truthful with the American people about that. They throw a few crumbs to the middle class, what they give with one hand they take away a bounty from another.”

Pelosi, later, contradicted herself, declaring that America’s greatness and Divine Intervention may prevent the world’s end:

“The only reason it isn't the end of the world is because America is a great country. And the greatness of America, and the fact that God is always with us, is what gives us hope.”

Pelosi, the left wingnuts idol, the gift to the right wing that keeps on giving!

Which of these "tricks" is logical?

The media is having a rough week when it comes to reporting on the federal government's multiple ongoing Russia investigations. Three stories in the past seven days have crumbled under greater scrutiny.

Why it matters:   In today's hyperpolarized world, "fake news" has become a refrain to describe stories that observers on both sides of the spectrum decide that they don't like. These reporting issues by esteemed media organizations give credence to that ignorance, which further damages the value of insightful, impactful reporting — especially when it comes to one of the biggest, most polarizing stories of our political age: the Russia probe.

The misses

  1. Flynn's testimony :   Last Friday, ABC News reported that former national security advisor Michael Flynn was prepared to testify that President Trump, while still a candidate, directed him to contact Russian officials. But later in the day, the network issued a "clarification" that the direction came when Trump was president-elect. That changed the impact of the story entirely as it's a common occurrence for presidential transition teams to reach out to foreign governments.
  2. Deutsche Bank subpoena :   Reuters and Bloomberg both reported on Tuesday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation had subpoenaed Deutsche Bank for information on accounts relating to President Trump and his family members — seemingly confirming that Mueller had expanded his probe to investigate the president's financial dealings. The WSJ   defused that bombshell   in a follow-up report stating that the subpoenas actually dealt with "people or entities close to Mr. Trump."
  3. WikiLeaks emails :   CNN   reported this morning that senior Trump campaign officials, including Trump himself, received an email from an unknown sender on September 4, 2016 that linked them to what   could   have been unreleased WikiLeaks documents. WaPo issued their own report later in the afternoon that the email was actually sent on September 14 — and linked to a trove of documents that WikiLeaks had publicly released a day earlier.

Simple answer. Read the seed:

The poll claims 43% of Republicans believe the fairy tale… which is complete rubbish.

The seeded source called it 'complete rubbish' so it is the one that is 'saying CBS is not legitimate' and that 'the poll has to be dismissed'. 

Of course, the source doesn't cite any evidence to the contrary, but hey, they don't need no stinking evidence to support their BS to qualify for ANOTHER seed here on NT.

LMAO, those aren't opposing views!!! Those are people who once made noises like they were Conservatives!

Will said he is no longer a Conservative, Steele is in total agreement with everything said over there, Nicole Wallace is finally where she wants to be after sandbagging Palin, Scarborough spends his morning, EVERY MORNING, trashing Trump and Hewitt and Schmidt are part of the team.

Only on Fox do they bring 2 opposing views with a host. It's been part of their format for years.

The discussion has been about the CBS poll. Are you saying CBS is not legitimate or are you saying the poll has to be dismissed simply because it is featured in a gatewaypundit story?

Simple question

What they are saying is after a year or more of investigating the Trump Campaign for collusion the only collusion that has come to light is the Democrat collusion and the fact their whole conspiracy has been nothing but a coup by the corrupt individuals at the top of the Obama/Clinton Crime Family and it is all about to fall like a pile of rocks all over them.  And it's pissing them off.

They have high ratings because they have ignorant conservative Republican zombies who love to have their ears tickled. The rest of America doesn't exclusively watch one channel day and night. I watch PBS Newshour, BBC News, TYT, Fox, MSNBC, CNN and CBS News to get a rounded perspective and then come to my own conclusions. Fox News lies a lot, only about 22% of their News is actually "News", I know because I watch them a little bit each day just to get the conservative half wit perspective. How anyone could watch that nonsense 24/7 is beyond sad and the reason this country has become so divided.

You left off one of the more blatantly false and destructive mistakes (?) made this week.

.

Fox News Is Forced to Correct Their Deceptive, Insulting Headline About Roy Moore Accuser

It’s like everybody is being forced to issue corrections, today. What’s going on, guys?

While Fox News was tut-tutting CNN for their erroneous Wikileaks story, they were having their own “OOPSIE” moment.

As I told you about earlier today, Beverly Young Nelson, the woman who claims Roy Moore had acted inappropriately with her when she was 16-years old, corrected her earlier account by admitting that she’d added part of the yearbook entry attributed to Roy Moore.

Presumably, she was talking about the date and the name of the diner.

It was really a minor addition, very much in line with what a teen girl would have added, at the time, and actually took nothing away from her claim, in that context.

Then, of course, Fox News put their spin on it.

A since-deleted tweet on the official Fox News twitter account had read, “BREAKING NEWS: Roy Moore accuser admits she forged part of yearbook inscription attributed to Alabama senate candidate.”

Uh, no, guys. Nothing about what she said amounts to forgery, so what you put out there was completely false.

They updated the story on their site, removing the reference to forgery.

“An update to this story reflects that Beverly Young Nelson admits writing what ABC News characterized as ‘notes’ beneath what she says is Roy Moore’s signature, and that the only notes below the signature are the date and location.

“Furthermore, the headline on [the] story now specifies that Nelson admits to writing part of the inscription herself, rather than forging part of it.”

And speaking of scummy purveyors of fake news…

Breitbart News also called the additions a forgery but has not updated its lead story.

“Bombshell: Roy Moore Accuser Beverly Nelson Admits She Forged Yearbook,” reads the headline.

Would it kill you guys to consult a dictionary? Develop a human soul? Something?

Breitbart’s guru, Steve Bannon, is a Roy Moore pimp, so as Bannon goes…

And to be clear, Moore may be completely innocent of everything he’s accused of, but this effort by sites like Fox and Breitbart to call his accusers liars – and now forgers – is despicable.

Yes, I knew and her bribery conviction was covered by most media outlets. And yes,m I had heard about his son, what does that have to do with anything? I didn't vote for Conyers, so I fail to see what your claims have to do with being informed or not. If you'd try watching something other than Fox you might understand that they are part of the problem. They have been sickening the conservative minds and blaming everything that's wrong in America on minorities, Obama and Hillary. It's really quite sad and disgusting that they would do such a thing for ratings, but I guess if it bleeds it leads and no one does sensationalizing like Fox.

Beyond inappropriate contacts there is this poll:

"So, in the minds of many, the conflicts in the Mueller investigation are piling up, as the  IBD/TIPP data  clearly indicate. The IBD/TIPP Poll data were gathered  June 23 to June 29.

Perhaps most seriously, among the 614 polled who say they're following the Russia story closely, 49% say that Special Counsel Mueller's friendship with former FBI Director James Comey represents a "conflict of interest for Mueller's investigation." Some 47% disagreed.

The results, no surprise here, skewed sharply according to party affiliation. A majority of Republicans (81%) and Independents (52%) said Mueller had a conflict of interest with his Comey friendship. Just 26% of Democrats agreed.

Meanwhile, even more poll respondents  — including a surprising number of Democrats — felt a conflict existed in the fact that Mueller had interviewed with the White House to replace former FBI chief Comey, who stands at the center of the investigation into Russia's alleged tampering with the 2016 vote and alleged collusion with the Trump campaign.

Mueller was no stranger to the job, having held the post from 2001 to 2013, under both President Bush and President Obama. Based on that, it should be no surprise that the White House would want to interview him.

But the IBD/TIPP Poll shows Americans seem bothered by this. Some 52% agreed that Mueller's job interview was a conflict of interest going forward for the investigation, while just 40% disagreed. No surprise that 70% of Republicans and 52% of Independents felt this was a problem. But 41% of Democrats also did.

As for the charge that many of the lawyers hired by Mueller for his team were Hillary Clinton supporters, just 44% agreed that this was a "legitimate concern," while 52% disagreed. But again, Republicans (83%) and Independents (51%) were a majority thinking it was a concern. Just 13% of Democrats did.

In June, IBD/TIPP  found that nearly half  of those polled agreed that the Russian investigation is a "political 'witch hunt' aimed at getting the president impeached," rather than a legitimate effort to investigate a possible crime. The Mueller investigation is just getting underway, but already it's not very popular."



The longer Mueller drags this out the less the American public is gonna like it.

One campaign associate has been given a deal for what ends is still unknown and Michael Flynn has pled guilty to lying to the FBI (after the FBI interviewed him knowing all the details of what they were asking him).
We also now know that an FBI agent had to be dismissed for apparent bias in this investigation. That agent had been at the heart of this investigation, the Clinton investigation and the Wiener investigation.
We know that the DOJ had to demote one of its own recently, for secretly contacting those who created the Steele Dossier
We know that Mueller has assembled a team of anti-Trump activists, such as Andrew Weissmann
We know that individuals have leaked classified information to the media and may not even be under any investigation
We know that Obama officials have unmasked members of the Trump campaign starting with Michael Flynn

Overcharged? Which of the charges are you speaking of?

Oh you know the ends, you just don't want to admit them. 

and Michael Flynn has pled guilty to lying to the FBI (after the FBI interviewed him knowing all the details of what they were asking him).

Seriously? Is it your posit that the FBI SHOULDN'T ask questions that they know the answers to?

With Flynn's background, he knew damn well that the FBI surveilled the Russian Ambassador's communication, so perhaps you can tell us why Flynn and Trump thought that they could get away with lying about the content of the communications they had with him. 

We also now know that an FBI agent had to be dismissed for apparent bias in this investigation. That agent had been at the heart of this investigation, the Clinton investigation and the Wiener investigation.

Actually, we KNOW that the FBI agent was REASSIGNED.

We know that the DOJ had to demote one of its own recently, for secretly contacting those who created the Steele Dossier.

Which refutes the content of the Steele Dossier HOW? 

We know that Mueller has assembled a team of anti-Trump activists, such as Andrew Weissmann.

What do you suppose the make up of Kenneth Starr's team would show? Andrew Weissmann has worked for the US government under FOUR different Administrations. When Bush took office, did he require an oath of loyalty from Weisserman? 

WE as Americans rely on Justice department employees to be impartial. We do NOT demand that they swear party loyalty every time the freaking administration changes hands. Their loyalty need only be to the Constitution and our form of government RELIES on that to be true. THAT did not used to be a patrician position, it obviously is now, what has changed? 

We know that individuals have leaked classified information to the media and may not even be under any investigation.

Yes, Bannon said that the leaks coming out or the WH were from Priebus, why isn't he being investigated? 

We know that Obama officials have unmasked members of the Trump campaign starting with Michael Flynn.

Yep, that's how they KNEW Flynn lied. 

We know that Donald Trump was not under investigation by the FBI and to date there is still NO evidence of collusion.

First of all, you are relying on Comey for that 'fact' while at the same time y'all insist that he is a LAIR. Please pick one. 

Secondly, Comey testified to that BEFORE Mueller was appointed. 

Thirdly, what would be the purpose of subpoenaing Trump's financial records from Deutsche Bank if Trump isn't under investigation? Hmmmm? 

That's where we are.

That's where YOU are now. What color is the sky on your planet?

It's comical that you would call this an "investigation".  A real investigation would follow the evidence and prosicute based on the evidence.  But since the evidence has shown the left has done much of what they are accusing this administration of doing I'd call this "investigation" more partisan bullshit.

Now seeing that this "investigation" is being carried out by political hacks from the left, "thorough" is something that they are incapable of.

Let's take a similar investigation, that is now complete and, see how long it could take to get to the truth.

November 5, 1968: Richard Nixon elected President.[1]
January 20, 1969: Richard Nixon is inaugurated as the 37th President of The United States.
July 1, 1971: David Young and Egil “Bud” Krogh write a memo suggesting the formation of what later became called the "White House Plumbers" in response to the leak of the Pentagon Papers by Daniel Ellsberg.
August 21, 1971: Nixon's Enemies List is started by White House aides (though Nixon himself may not have been aware of it); to "use the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies."
September 3, 1971: "White House Plumbers" E. Howard Hunt, G. Gordon Liddy, and others break into the offices of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist Lewis Fielding looking for material that might discredit Ellsberg, under the direction of John Ehrlichman or his staff within the White House. This was the Plumbers' first major operation.[2]
By early 1972, the Plumbers, at this stage assigned to the Committee to Re-Elect the President (CREEP), had become frustrated at the lack of additional assignments they were being asked to perform, and that any plans and proposals they suggested were being rejected by CREEP. Liddy and Hunt took their complaints to the White House – most likely to Charles Colson – and requested that the White House start putting pressure on CREEP to assign them new operations. It is likely that both Colson and White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman did so, starting the train of events that led to the Watergate break-ins a few months later. This narrative was confirmed in the famous "Cancer on the Presidency" conversation between Nixon and White House Counsel John Dean on March 21, 1973.[3]
May 2, 1972: J. Edgar Hoover dies; L. Patrick Gray is appointed acting FBI director.[4]
June 17, 1972: The plumbers are arrested at 2:30 a.m. in the process of burglarizing and planting surveillance bugs in the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate Building Complex.
June 20, 1972: Reportedly based on a tip from Deep Throat (associate director of the FBI, Mark Felt), Bob Woodward reports in the Washington Post that one of the burglars had E. Howard Hunt in his address book and possessed checks signed by Hunt, and that Hunt was connected to Charles Colson.
June 23, 1972: In the Oval Office, H.R. Haldeman recommends to President Nixon that they attempt to shut down the FBI investigation of the Watergate break-in, by having CIA Director Richard Helms and Deputy Director Vernon A. Walters tell acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray to, "Stay the hell out of this". Haldeman expects Gray will then seek and take advice from Deputy FBI Director Mark Felt, and Felt will obey direction from the White House out of ambition. Nixon agrees and gives the order. [5] The conversation is recorded.
September 15, 1972: Hunt, Liddy, and the Watergate burglars are indicted by a federal grand jury.
November 7, 1972: Nixon re-elected, defeating George McGovern with the largest plurality of votes in American history.
January 8, 1973: Five defendants plead guilty as the burglary trial begins. Liddy and James W. McCord Jr. are convicted after the trial.
January 20, 1973: Nixon is inaugurated for his second term.
February 28, 1973: Confirmation hearings begin for confirming L. Patrick Gray as permanent Director of the FBI. During these hearings, Gray reveals that he had complied with an order from John Dean to provide daily updates on the Watergate investigation, and also that Dean had "probably lied" to FBI investigators.
March 17, 1973: Watergate burglar McCord writes a letter to Judge John Sirica, claiming that some of his testimony was perjured under pressure and that the burglary was not a CIA operation, but had involved other government officials, thereby leading the investigation to the White House.
April 6, 1973: White House counsel John Dean begins cooperating with federal Watergate prosecutors.
April 27, 1973: L. Patrick Gray resigns after it comes to light that he destroyed files from E. Howard Hunt's safe. William Ruckelshaus is appointed as his replacement.
April 30, 1973: Senior White House administration officials Ehrlichman, Haldeman, and Richard Kleindienst resign, and John Dean is fired.
May 17, 1973: The Senate Watergate Committee begins its nationally televised hearings.
May 19, 1973: Independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox appointed to oversee investigation into possible presidential impropriety.
June 3, 1973: John Dean tells Watergate investigators that he has discussed the cover-up with Nixon at least 35 times.
July 13, 1973: Alexander Butterfield, former presidential appointments secretary, reveals that all conversations and telephone calls in Nixon’s office have been taped since 1971.
July 18, 1973: Nixon orders White House taping systems disconnected.
July 23, 1973: Nixon refuses to turn over presidential tapes to Senate Watergate Committee or the special prosecutor.
Vice President replaced:
October 10, 1973: Spiro Agnew resigns as Vice President of the United States due to corruption while he was the governor of Maryland.
October 12, 1973: Gerald Ford is nominated as Vice President under the 25th Amendment.
October 20, 1973: "Saturday Night Massacre" - Nixon orders Elliot Richardson and Ruckleshouse to fire special prosecutor Cox. They both refuse to comply and resign. Robert Bork considers resigning but carries out the order.
November 1, 1973: Leon Jaworski is appointed new special prosecutor.
November 17, 1973: Nixon delivers "I am not a crook" speech at a televised press conference at Disney World (Florida).
November 27, 1973: the Senate votes 92 to 3 to confirm Ford as Vice President.
December 6, 1973: the House votes 387 to 35 to confirm Ford as Vice President, and he takes the oath of office an hour after the vote.
January 28, 1974: Nixon campaign aide Herbert Porter pleads guilty to perjury.
February 25, 1974: Nixon personal counsel Herbert Kalmbach pleads guilty to two charges of illegal campaign activities.
March 1, 1974: In an indictment against seven former presidential aides, delivered to Judge Sirica together with a sealed briefcase intended for the House Committee on the Judiciary, Nixon is named as an unindicted co-conspirator.
March 4, 1974: the "Watergate Seven" (Mitchell, Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Colson, Gordon C. Strachan, Robert Mardian, and Kenneth Parkinson) are formally indicted.

April 16, 1974: Special Prosecutor Jaworski issues a subpoena for 64 White House tapes.
April 30, 1974: White House releases edited transcripts of the Nixon tapes, but the House Judiciary Committee insists the actual tapes must be turned over.
May 9, 1974: Impeachment hearings begin before the House Judiciary Committee.
June 15, 1974: Woodward and Bernstein's book All the President's Men is published by Simon & Schuster (ISBN 0-671-21781-X).
July 24, 1974: United States v. Nixon decided: Nixon is ordered to give up tapes to investigators.
Congress moves to impeach Nixon.
July 27 to July 30, 1974: House Judiciary Committee passes Articles of Impeachment.
Early August 1974: A previously unknown tape from June 23, 1972 (recorded a few days after the break-in) documenting Nixon and Haldeman formulating a plan to block investigations is released. This recording later became known as the "Smoking Gun".
Key Republican Senators tell Nixon that enough votes exist to convict him.
August 8, 1974: Nixon delivers his resignation speech in front of a nationally televised audience.
August 9, 1974: Nixon resigns from office. Gerald Ford becomes president.

Seems more like someone waiting for Republicans to to prove Hillary committed any crime. 4 years, 8 partisan Congressional investigations 2 FBI investigations and still nothing, but Republicans aren't finished beating that dead horse yet! Their SURE she must be guilty of something and are still ignorantly chanting "Lock her up!". If Republicans had ANY actual evidence of a crime she would be in handcuffs faster than you can say boo.

Meanwhile, they believe less than a year with one investigation is WAY too much to put into the Trump collusion investigation. I believe it's because most are such worthless traitors to our nation they really don't care if Trump colluded with an enemy foreign government bent on destroying western Democracy. They like the criminal Putin's brand of white nationalist authoritarian rule and seem desperate to import it.

And an investigator that made a decision before he even interviewed her.  Can't understand why they wanted him fired.

Gateway Pundit is a never ending cornucopia of stupidity. Here is an article they have running today.

Arizona Police Officer Acquitted for the Murder of Unarmed Man – Media Silent Because Victim is White

Arizona Police Officer Acquitted for the Murder of Unarmed Man – Media Silent Because Victim is White

====================================

Earlier this morning I seeded a video about this story of the police killing of the unarmed man in the hotel hallway. I seeded it from The Young Turks, often considered one of the most liberal or left wing 'news' sites there is. Not only did the Young Turks spend about 15 minutes on the story, they even discussed the fact that the victim was white. So much for 'silence'.
