Second, the motives underlying their "reporting" are often not what they seem.

Third, they are skilled at deception and propaganda.

Fourth, the subliminal intent of such reports is to cultivate fear among those whose minds they feed on and (in this case, fear of Trump losing).

This poll is a thinly veiled dog whistle to rally conservative FOX viewers to VOTE--and at the same time to reduce or suppress the sense of urgency among Democrats who accept this BS and think we've got it in the bag.

Did we learn anything from 2016? The same dynamic was in play. We must see this for what it likely is, and not grow overly confident complacent.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
