I'm shocked!  Shocked, I tell you!  Quick, get "60 Minutes" on this.

But I don't trust the Washington Times.

This is turning into a Raymond Smullyan cyclotron logic mindmelt.

What about Gallup?

"Based on the results of this poll, Gallup predicted a victory for Dewey, the Republican candidate."

Hey, when did ABC news switch to an all murder mystery format? It seems like every time I tune in they're covering a real life murder mystery now.  ???

A frightening proportion of people get their 'news' from Fartberk and twatter. Because they believe its real and unequivical; it matters not that the person posting the bollox is a barely literate or educated independent source, it must be true, right?

Bellgab of course. Especially the supporters of Trump; whatever they 'think' and say, I know the opposite is true. It seems a bit unscientific, but its been proven to be spot on so far.

I know that I get all my news from sources that can tell the difference between "it's" and "its." Keeps me on my toes.

What we are seeing is the newest generation of journalism college graduates uncontrollably drooling and rabidly barking at every non-socialist and traditionally American activity in the USA.  Their shriveled professors, meanwhile, sit in the safety of shadows, slowly nodding with jealous admiration.

One doesn't need to be a Trump supporter to see how unbelievably bias the media is towards Hillary. In the primaries they ignored bernie and called his supporters racist and basically deplorable. If your against hillary you're a racist russian spy doesn't matter who you back.
