today, we’re going to talk about polls. but before we do, everybody take a deep fucking breath. remember “flooding the zone with shit”?

that was one-man leper colony Steve Bannon’s plan for how Trumpism wins. here’s how it works: create information chaos. drown everyone in a sea of misinformation. put out dozens of stories a day, with each new one contradicting the last. confuse the shit out of people to the point where no one has any fucking clue which end is up. eventually, the public will give up, and check out. whatever, just make it stop.

this year, wingnut pollsters have adopted Rotty Steve’s strategy. they’re flooding the zone with shit polls — polls that show Donny is winning, when he’s not. the goal? to make you give up and stay home on election day.

you’re being gaslighted. don’t you dare fall for it.

FakeNoose's comment: Thank you Jeff Tiedrich! You're singing my song.

Today's rant is so right-on-the-money, and Jeff provides many illustrations of how the US news media is trying to brainwash us. By "us" I mean the liberal-Democratic voters who will gladly cast our votes for Kamala and Tim. (I've already voted by mail in Pennsylvania!)

It's a worthy rant from Tiedrich ... please read the rest on "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."
