Oct 2014

The statement I made at the top that had you going down this useless diatribe conspiracy theory on your part was:

"I'm betting that Warren would stomp Jeb too! But corporate interests aren't going to give us the poll to reinforce that outcome are they?"

How does this NOT conform to my notes that the corporate media would AVOID providing us a poll showing that Warren would beat Jeb Bush? Do you even know how to read? I did NOT say that the corporate media would provide us such a poll and rig it so that she wouldn't be shown to beat him.

My contention was then and has always been that the corporate media AVOIDS TALKING ABOUT Senator Warren in the same way they talk about Clinton, because they favor Clinton.

Now please explain for me any ounce of intelligence you might have that would make the case that them avoiding doing a poll or publishing it about Warren is "rigging that poll". If they rigged that poll, then they'd be more inclined to publish something that would fit their notion that Warren wouldn't beat Bush. And they would air as much information on Warren as being a potential candidate as they would on Hillary.

It's believed on by the FACT that most of our media is owned by a handful of corporations! cascadiance Oct 2014 #141

which doesn't prove polls are being rigged! wyldwolf Oct 2014 #143
