A humorous moment took place Sunday during ABC’s This Week when co-moderator Jonathan Karl struggled to report a poll by state-affiliated media outlet National Public Radio which showed former President Donald Trump’s favorable ratings increasing among Republicans since his indictment. Trump went from 68 percent favorable prior to the indictment to 76 percent. It’s unclear whether Karl was actually confused about the numbers or he literally couldn’t bring himself to admit Trump is becoming more popular with the GOP base. Either way, it goes to show that Karl is not a serious journalist.
“Let’s take a look at a poll taken entirely after the indictment was announced and unsealed from NPR,” Karl said before completely botching the poll results: “It showed that Trump’s favorable ratings actually went from 70—76 percent. I’m sorry. His favorable 76 to 60–you got me. I’m mixed up here. Let me start all over.”
After not accomplishing anything except confusing viewers, former Maryland liberal Republican governor, and panelist Larry Hogan jumped in to accurately state the Trump polling bump.
“The bottom line is his favorable ratings actually increased and his unfavorable ratings went down among Republican voters and independents who lean Republican,” Karl said. “So in other words, his standing among Republicans actually has improved since this indictment was announced.”
Later on in the show, Karl turned to ABC News contributor and disgraced former DNC chair Donna Brazile and acted astonished that Trump is within the margin of error of Biden in a Quinnipiac poll.
They can see their propaganda is not having the desired effect. They covered non-stop Trump going to the courthouse to be indicted but they wouldn’t allow Trump to present his side of the story. This is because people like Trump (and you and me) don’t deserve due process, freedom of speech or their right to defend themselves against charges that are obviously contrived and political. True, it has taken many years of massive lies to get the general public’s attention, but it seems the message is finally getting through.
I guess there’s a reason why the Ministry of Propaganda gravitate to proven liars and disgraced personalities as their spokespeople.
Well said!
America has had 2 sets of laws for 62 years.
1 for liberals another VERY DIFERENT fo America lovers!
This was not obvious before GWB’s Boy Mueller took over FBI. But his persecution of Rony folk made it very clear to most –
One example; but I can list more.
When GWB’s boys Mueller, Rod …et.al. applied a very different set of laws to go after Ronny Dem (as I was 65 years ago) Gen Flynn than when protecting Hunter and his long time Ukrainian partner.
YES fly was a Dem when GWB’s “law enforcement” went after him! he changed parties, as Ronny did in 1960!
With the “impeachment” of Don and the bogus imprisonment of hundreds of Ronny folk – liberals cal then “JG rioters” – it has become clear to ka large majority of Americans that to “law enforcement” “all men are not createdequal”!.As Gwb has said for decades, “Some are more equal…”!
or restated
America lovers are “Untermenchen”! Verstehen Sie Mir; Mein Herr?
The actual divide is between wealth and power, and everybody else. Political leaning doesn’t have much to do with it. That’s a convenient myth promoted by wealth and power. Wealth and power will use whatever political faction best serves its own private interest and switch horses as needed.
Until only one horse is needed. (See: CCP, National Socialist Party, Democrat Party)
We live in a one-party police state.
Do you think taking $5 million in bribes constitutes wealth and power? Idiot Biden, Hillary, Schiff, Swalwell, Pelosi and the rest of the cabal of corrupt Democrats is separated from the struggling taxpayer by a corrupt DOJ that enforces laws against the common man while protecting the corrupt greed of the Democrats.
No matter what the Gutter level M.S. Media say about trump most all Americans reject the Liberal Media Lies and gutter level Bias and support Trump while Bidens polls continue to tank
What they don’t realize is that the polls are not so much for Trump, but against their regime and its worthless hacks…
