PBS, NPR Bury Their Own Poll Results on BLM, Antifa, and Confederate Statues
20th August 2017
Taxpayer-funded PBS and NPR are now in the polling business with Marist College, and like the other networks, their polls are often used to support putting heat on Republicans. On Wednesday, they announced they had found a majority of Americans were disappointed with the president’s responsive to the violence in Charlottesville. PBS then ignored their own finding that 62 percent favored leaving Confederate statues in place, while only 27 percent want them removed. NPR reported it once, and then insisted that had nothing to do with Charlottesville.
Buried in the weeds: They also asked if Americans approve or disapprove of Black Lives Matter: 50 percent disapproved, and only 33 percent approved. They even asked about approval of Antifa, but few had heard of them yet: Five percent approved, 24 percent disapproved, 18 percent said they had no opinion either way, and 53 percent were unsure. But if the results don’t fit….you must omit?
It’s all about the Narrative, Larry.

At least they reported the results, if not as prominently as you would have wished.
Fox News, to their credit, also conducts polls. To their discredit, they don’t bother to report the results.
I wonder why?

Of course, we’re all just going to take your word for it that they don’t report the results of polls.
Not.
