ANALYSIS: TRUE. Election Night Confirmed the Polls Were Lies.

The signs have been there for months. Trump supporters knew they were being lied to. But some Biden voters suspected it. A few true liberal holdouts began nervously grumbling about the Big Tech censorship of the Hunter Biden financial scandals. African Americans, Hispanics, LGBTQ, and blue-collar workers increasingly have resisted their typecasting. Famous rappers began giving cultural permission to vote for Trump.

Like kamikaze planes splashing harmlessly in the sea adjacent to their targets, the legacy media either lied to America or themselves as they squandered the last shreds of illusionary credibility. The polls were never meant to reflect public opinion. They were always about shaping the opinion. And as the day of reckoning approached and the real opinion failed to follow the pollster?s wishful thinking, many tried to pull out of their dives, reporting a ?tightening? race.

Balderdash. The opinions have not changed that much in just a few days.

I’d just add that most of our so-called journalists are actually narrative-peddlers, and ought to be addressed as such.
