Conspiracy theories about the exit polls being cancelled

[TwilightZone]

The same people who decry the media (correctly) as a bunch of right-wing hacks who only care about the bottom line seem to have decided that the networks' decision to cancel the remaining exit polls is a nefarious conspiracy involving the Clinton campaign. There are a dozen (or more) similar threads in GDP.

Now, if we look at this logically, we might conclude that:

1) The race is over.
2) The media saves money by cancelling them, aka the bottom line.
3) Both of the above.

Ah, but no. It's all a massive conspiracy with the Clinton campaign pulling the strings.

The strings of the right-wing media.

The same right-wing media that has been hammering her for 25 years.

That she now controls. Somehow.

Yeah, that's *waaaaaay* more plausible than a few corporations saving some money in a race that it over.

1. Everything that is not in line with their wants is a conspiracy.

I was just telling someone that some of my friends have reached Larouche levels of crazy-talk. I've had to hide several on FB.

2. Its one more thing that proves Hillary won

No need for exit polls in that case.

If berners want to pony up 5 or 6 million they can hire their own exit polls LOL

8. Is there an official statement from any media network that says they have canceled exit polling?

Up to this time, I have only seen reports from blogs and other sites that have no credibility as news outlets.

Show me a statement from CNN, MSNBC, FOX, NBC, CBS, ABC that they have canceled exit polling

10. You know, there was so much chatter about them that I assumed there was a real story...

But you're right. They're mostly based off some blogs and I haven't yet found anything official from any of the networks.

Good call. It remains to be seen if the story will turn out to be false.

9. Its some kind of weird propaganda effort. Not very sophisticated mind you

but they have the days talking points down.
