MSM Really trying to Discredit the Newsweek Poll
Has anyone else noticed this?

To me it's proof of what we all already know. The MSM wants a close race and are trying to discredit the Newsweek poll because it goes against that.

1. Sorry.... no tinfoil hat for me.... Newsweek is PART of the MSM.....and if what you said is true...
...we would've never SEEN this poll.

Newsweek would've buried it.

2. Yep. I noticed. It's an Outlier they all cry over and over again.
Funny, because in the past, they have used ridiculous polls outliers without a problem. I Remember one for North Carolina, in where it was like a tie.

They always have an agenda.

That's why we've got to get some control over these crazy ass Talking DooDoo Heads. They are freaks, and nothing more.

3. Yeah, it's an anomaly, or bad sampling,
or ... something. I mean all the other polls show it being much closer. Obama got no bounce.

I noticed that when Mrs. Greenspan was mouthing that crap on the Timmy show yesterday, she conveniently left out the USA Today poll that showed it 55-40 Obama.

7. The USA Today poll was 50-44, not 55-40. Link:

5. It is an outlier. That's simple fact, not an attempt to discredit it.
So far I haven't heard anyone in the MSM attempt to discredit the poll. But they'd have to be ignorant of the other polls not to notice it's an outlier.

6. If they don't get a close race it will be more difficult to steal the election.
