I've been disappointed and quite frankly depressed about the whole political reality lately, so I've avoided the news media as often as possible. That included last night, when I voted late, came home and completely ignored ALL news and election related media.
The reason I ignored it last night, was because I had already been CONVINCED by the MSM that Trump did not have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the election! Over the past 6 weeks, all I've heard is the MSM and every tv channel, social media site telling us how evil and dangerous Trump is, and that the American people hate him for it! I was hearing progressive elites tell us that Hillary would get 360 electoral votes and win by near-record landslide numbers!
This same thing happened in 2004, when the MSM were trying to convince us that Kerry would beat Bush by big numbers, and their exit polls were disasterously false.
For this information to continuously be so wrong, and considering that a depressed conservative electorate would be a sound political strategy, while of course considering the now proven pro-democrat activism of the MSM, you have to seriously consider the idea that they were trying to negatively affect republican voter turnout by posting false poll numbers that appear that Trump had no chance to begin with....
