“This is a crisis of democracy, what the press is now doing.”
Political strategist Pat Caddell outlined his charge that Reuters tampered with its own daily tracking poll to manufacture a sudden surge for Hillary Clinton.
“They not only changed their formula, to put Hillary ahead. They went back and changed the results, for a week of results where Trump was ahead, and then they turned those into Hillary leads,” said Caddell. “They also erased all the former polling off the site. They didn’t tweak their procedure – they cooked it.”
“Never in my life have I seen a news organization, and a supposedly reputable poll, do something so dishonest,” Caddell continued. “What they have done is, they decided the people who said, ‘oh, I’m never for someone’ – oh, those must be Hillary votes. They used to be Trump voters.”
He noted that Hillary Clinton made “big news” on Fox News Sunday when she claimed the FBI found her responses to questions about her secret email server to be honest and consistent, when in fact FBI Director James Comey said the opposite, when he declined to refer charges against her to prosecutors.
“That is language from another planet,” Caddell declared. “This woman, to make that assertion after all the proven lies, should be a big story, but it will not be.” He also noted the contrast between how Donald Trump’s appearance on ABC News over the weekend was immediately followed by a round-table of commentators attacking him, but Fox News staged no such ambush of Clinton.
Caddell furthermore dismissed Trump’s ABC News interviewer George Stephanopoulos as “a former Democratic operative, a Clinton contributor, and an absolute fraud as a newsperson.”
“It is unbelievable what he did. He interviewed Trump, and basically then had the Khan family – the Muslim mother and father of the soldier who was killed – and General Allen on to attack Trump after the interview. He showed them the interview and then let attack him, and then loaded a panel with people who are so negative,” Caddell complained.
He found the media far less willing to say anything about the “pall of corruption” hanging over the Democratic convention, or the Democrats’ reluctance to say a word about the issue, knowing how much it hurts Clinton.
“Not once, not once, was there a mention of the Clinton Foundation by Hillary, or Bill, or anybody, about what great work they do, because they dare not even raise it,” he observed. “Nobody said anything. The press, which have universally assaulted Trump, who got a big boost out of his speech – who won the speech by the way, of best speeches, beats her, and the press praises her, and they’re laying down, and this is ‘Reaganesque’ – this is about as Reaganesque as John Kerry in 2004, going up to the podium after all the admirals and generals surrounding him, and saying ‘I’m reporting for duty,’” he said. “I mean, that went over like a lead balloon.”
“My party never learns that you cannot just hoodwink the people,” said Caddell, a lifelong Democrat.
Good till this at the end, “My party never learns that you cannot just hoodwink the people,” said Waddell, a lifelong Democrat.”
What’s to learn? Obama/Jarrett was elected twice. His disastrous first term was rewarded with a second term. “The people” bought the bullshit hook, line and sinker. Hillary is just playing cards she’s been dealt-can you blame her for using the left dominated media and the sewer culture to her advantage.
I can only hope that some of this bullshit is leaking through the countless holes the left dominated media is trying to plug. Bet your ass that if Hillary is elected there will be a concerted effort to limit the free exchange we now enjoy on the internet.
The mainstream media is a bigger enemy to the American people than ISIS.
They do more damage to this country in a year of ‘reporting’. Than terrorists could ever do.
There are no journalists any more. Only propogandists.
It’s April 1945, 0bama and Hitlery are hunkered deep inside in the Momjeans Bunker, beneath the streets of Reality. Hitlery has promised Wünderwaffenen, which will sweep Trump and the Unwashed Masses from the political landscape. But the only real weapon she has is a Propaganda Organization that dwarfs even the vaunted Güöebbels machine: The “Free” Press! Like the SS fanatics of that previous war, The “Free” Press will die to the last editor, reporter and spin doktor [sic] to defend Frau Hitlery and Chairman 0bama.
NOTE: The “Free” Press alludes to the liberty with which the Fourth Estate lies, distorts, bends, colludes and destroys, on behalf of the DNC.
“…a news organization, and a supposedly reputable poll….”
Is he saying he just got sober?
Fudging the polls could benefit Trump. Let the Dums think Hillary has it in the bag. Come election day, they just might stay home. Do what democrats do best, let someone else do the work.
They had their eight years of fucking fun.
NOW IT’S OUR FUCKING TURN. 😈
Off to church! 😇
Why Pat Caddell is still a democrat is beyond me. Speaking of guys named Pat, this morning while flipping thru the channels on TV I came across an old episode of The Monkees with Pat Paulsen in it playing his usual goofy self. I hadn’t seen him in well over 45 years and he’s still deadpan funny. Pat Paulsen for President anyone.
“I’m Donald Trump and I just insulted someone” gets 24 hours of newsplay. “I’m Hillary Clinton and I just lied to your face and stole a bunch of money” gets no mention.
Trump just puts up with the media. Hillary uses them because they are willing fools. Both Clintons are corrupt, and both will tell bald face lies to advance their careers; when it comes to the media, the media cannot participate in that type of game without becoming one of them. And that is exactly what they are becoming – lying, cheating and stealing tools when it suits their agenda.
I’m not surprised. Trump’s acceptance speech, which was inspiring and positive, was 16 days ago. Hillary’s speech, which was boring and negative, was 9 days ago. Since then (not sure of the exact dates), we’ve had the Khan tempest-in-a-teapot, and Hillary admitting her “short circuit” with Chris Wallace.
It absolutely did not make any sense to me how Trump could have gone fron a wafer-thin lead over Hillary to trailing her by ten percentage points.
Trump needs to call out our intellectually, morally, and professionally bankrupt media frequently and ferociously. Any vote who doesn’t respond to that is a mental retardate.
Welcome to the conservative side, Pat. Thanks for seeing the light.
Don’t screw this up with a Hillary vote, like your brothers and sisters on the filthy side of the isle.
“Aisle” ^^^
After 7 hours I finally realize that’s not the way to spell aisle.
Wyatt, you were heading in the right direction, but hit a rut.
What Trump does is more interesting and titillating than what Hillary does. That is why he is always in the news.
If he were to take a break from the spotlight, and just focus on Hillary, there would be room on the front page for her shenanigans.
As it is, he is sucking up all the oxygen.
He is unwittingly giving her cover.
