Regarding the MSM cherry picking polls.
I am getting so frustrated on the way they are reporting polls.
I have looked at dozens of polls these last two days. Some have been good and some bad. But all in all it looks like Clinton is sitting well.
But when I hear the MSM, they only report the polls favorable to trump. If the roles were reversed they would be talking about how trump has a commanding lead.
And it's not like I am complaining about polls that are not in Clinton's favor like trump and the deplorable do. I am complaining about the cherry picking

(18 posts)I think they do it because it means ratings, and they are also helping promote the obvious partisan FBI probe with no pushback. Low informed voters just see headlines without worrying about the details and that concerns me.

(13,305 posts)...There are just as many cherry picked polls on here and people wanting to completely ignore any bad news. It's what people do. Nobody wants to fear the worst.
As for the media they are doing it because they want the drama and the horse race.
